Stumbling into Jungle 51 for a 4am set was a life changing experience for me and I have since struggled to identify and find what genre of edm was being played there. Was it tech house, deep house, something else? Does anyone know?

Hey all! Just for fun I researched a lot of the festival lineups and artists that are on tour or active (booked for festivals) in/around the usual Okeechobee dates and I created a lineup of what COULD HAVE BEEN as far as potential bookings. The only one in here that is totally random is Griz but that's because I strongly believe he's a permanent resident when they come back. Of course there's tons of other artists that are touring that aren't on this fake lineup but I tried to select them based off of what the perfect curation of an Okeechobee lineup would be without going too far overboard because it's already very unrealistic. Surprisingly there are very scarce options for hip hop/rap that will be active in Feb, March, April. I wanted to go for as close to the feel of classic Okee as I could!

Faintly remember the interaction, but always appreciated this piece. Would love to share the gratitude 🙏

does anyone remember the full moon bassnectar set from 2018?? any one have videos theyve never uploaded/posted? any crazy/magical stories? im trying to re-live my experience. it was one of the best edm shows ive ever been to. (no hate i know hes been cancelled, im not here to talk about any of that just the shiny memories anyone may have of that specific set)

Hey gang,

Hope all is well!

See y'all in there!

Don't expect the festival to come back in a couple years, don't expect things down there to immediately get better, just push all of your love and good feelings to all the people in Florida affected by Milton. Plurr

Hi everyone,

So as the title states, Im kind’ve a local to the area where the festival is held. It’s about a 30 minute drive from where i live to where the festival is held, and I drive by the ranch where the festival is held all the time. I found this sub a little while ago and wanted to say how much I, as a somewhat local, appreciated the festival. (Also, I apologize if this is the wrong place to bring this up, if the mods feel this isn’t in the spirit of this sub, I encourage them to take it down)

Now, full disclosure, I’ve never actually been to the Okeechobee Music Festival. I’ve wanted to go for a very long time, but I’ve always been out of town every single time it’s happened. But I’ve always appreciated it being close by. Every year when they release the lineup, my family and I have always skimmed it to see who was performing. It was a real shock to us the second year when Usher flew his private plane into Okeechobee airport to perform at the festival. A lot of people who live in the area still talk about that when they talk about the festival, and we still get a chuckle out of it.

But more importantly, I do like how I can see a lot of big name bands close to where I live (like Mumford and Sons the first year). If I wanted to see bands like that outside of festival time, it would be over an hour drive to Fort Lauderdale or someplace else in South Florida instead of 30 minutes to the Okeechobee Festival, which I really like.

Also, even though I’ve only driven past it while it was happening, I do like how it feels like a massive cookout almost where everyone is just camping out and listening to awesome music. Everytime I’ve driven past the festival while it’s been happening, it always seemed like it was such a good time.

I would like this festival to keep happening not only because I’d like to go to it someday perhaps, but also because it shows the world that Okeechobee knows how to throw a really good party

Guys if they dont post about the fest by oct 1st i say move on. Hopefully the next year it will be out

Okeechobee dropped their last lineup 2 years ago this week. Truthfully as much it pains me to say it I don’t think Okee is coming back… with their last post on any platforms being 2 months ago, it’s not looking good guys.

Okeechobee was my first camping festival and maybe it’s because it was my first but I’ve been to a few different ones this year and nothing has compared to okee, I went to EF this year with high hopes and expectations but was really let down because it wasn’t okee. Chobeewobee Village I particularly miss. The whole layout of the festival tbh not too large and not too small, easy to get lost but also easy to find your way again. I remember seeing some of the best sets I’ve ever seen at okee both times I went. The Stages were creative and very thematic to Okeechobee and I really felt this sense of a loving and supportive community with everyone I encountered at this festival.

Okee definitely had this certain magic to it that I haven’t felt at any other festival. And I’m heartbroken to even think of the festival not returning but that’s a reality we will all have to face.

Miss you guys <3

Does anyone have any concrete info about what’s going on? Is it happening? I keep seeing people say definitely not but how do you know??? I’m clinging on to hope but idkkkkk I just wanna be back there so bad 😭😭😭😭

Hey fam does anybody have a 2017 GA wristband they are willing to part ways with? It was my first ever music festival and I wanna make something special with all of my wristbands, but I lost Okee a few years back and it kills me not to have it. I would totally appreciate it and even will to pay for one.

I have faith that Skream, Joker, Coki, Ternion, and Distinct Motive will be at our magical festival in 2025 rocking our world with dub.

Also can we get a Mt Joy, Arctic Monkeys, Backseat Lovers, Racoma, Briston Maroney, Sun Room, and maybe Hozier appearance?

By now we would’ve gotten an email or some sort of notification for early bird tickets, right? I need to decide if I’m going to iii points instead, but I’m still holding out hope.

Does anyone have a band from the first Okee in 2016 that they are willing to part ways with? Pretty please! It was my first fest and I have every other band from fests I have attended since but I lost my Okee 2016 band. 😭

I wonder if the seeds are still good?

On one hand, with their level of activity it would be really surprising if the fest isn’t returning in 2025.

On the other, we are halfway through July and there is no official announcement yet. With a large portion of the 2024 fest season behind us, people are starting to plan their allocation of time/money for 2025.

There is still time for an announcement, especially with no lineup until at least November. But if they are coming back you would think they would want to capture that comeback energy ASAP.

I’d still lean that it’s coming back. But I’ve been saying that all summer and I expected a return announcement by now…

I’m planning a wedding for March 2025 and want to plan around Okee potentially happening. What do y’all think? Is it gonna happen next year?

I found this pin, but don’t know much about it. The back says ‘lunar wolf’ and ‘26/100’. If anyone has any info about when/where it’s from or if it is just a replica please let me know!!

Happy Okee!
