Hulaween 2025
Hulaween 2025 has once again expertly curated a bill that spans the full spectrum of sound, promising a mix of debut performances, rare collaborations, and electrifying sets across electronic, jam, funk, hip-hop, indie, and more. It will be something to prepare for these four days of non-stop musical magic!
Spirit Lake 2025 Theme
Music may be Hulaween’s heartbeat, but art is its soul—and nowhere is that more evident than in Spirit Lake, the festival’s ever-evolving visual universe. Under the creative direction of Justin Bolognino, Spirit Lake unveils its new theme: The Radiant Veil – The Dance of Light and Shadow.
This year’s experience promises to be more immersive than ever. Festivalgoers will step into a surreal dreamscape of audio-reactive installations, projection storytelling, and interactive art, where shadows and light ripple in harmony with the music. The AV Light Experience will expand in scale and sophistication, offering mind-altering visuals synced to live performances.
Returning favorites and new artists will contribute to this collaborative wonderland, where the boundaries between participant and performer dissolve. Spirit Lake will be a living artwork, pulsing with energy, mystery, and magic.
To support the visionaries behind the scenes, limited-edition prints from The Mural Maze Collective will be available, giving attendees a tangible piece of Hulaween’s artistry to take home.
Thursday Kicks Off the Haunting
Thursday will ignite with high-energy sets from Disco Lines and Jade Cicada, plus a unique back-to-back performance from Tape B and Mersiv, who will also deliver solo shows. Hulaween newcomers Westend and it’s murph will round out an unforgettable opening day. I’m also looking forward to checking out performances by Nikita, the Wicked, WonkyWilla and The Heavy Pets.
Halloween Night: A Star-Studded Celebration
Friday, promises an electrifying Halloween celebration! Electronic heavyweights ILLENIUM, LSZEE (CloZee b2b LSDREAM), and Tinlicker lead a stacked lineup. Don’t miss additional Friday highlights from Le Youth, Odd Mob, Sultan + Shepard, and YDG. Definitely going to check out LSZEE and Odd Mob, and Le Youth since they are a must see for me.
The Disco Biscuits will bring the energy with two high-octane sets, alongside a rare appearance from their all-instrumental alter ego, Tractorbeam. Making his Hulaween debut, Anderson Paak will grace the decks as DJ Pee Wee, delivering a genre-bending mix of deep cuts and party favorites. The String Cheese Incident return for two more iconic Halloween performances, while legendary hip-hop trio Digable Planets make their highly anticipated festival debut. Pigeons Playing Ping Pong also return, bringing their signature blend of funk-fueled psychedelia back to Suwannee. I am going to try my hardest to go see the good majority of the artists above. You can check out a more in-depth lineup here.
Saturday Keeps the Energy Soaring
Saturday, Hula continues with high-flying energy with headlining performances from Zeds Dead, Gorgon City, and Parcels. The String Cheese Incident will once again take the stage for two more immersive sets. This day also marks the much-anticipated Hulaween debut of Glass Beams, bringing their hypnotic, East-meets-West psych-fusion to the festival.
Expect dynamic sets from globally celebrated selectors like Dr. Fresch and Blond:ish, alongside jam-fueled explorations from Dogs In A Pile and Franc Moody. Alt-disco outfit Arc De Soleil and rising stars like Mary Droppinz, Conducta, and OkayJake b2b STVSH complete a diverse and eclectic bill.
I am honestly so STOKED for the artists, since I haven’t had the chance to check most of them out. I have seen String Cheese Incident, Blond:ish, Franc Moody, and Mary Droppinz. They individually have unique live sets and would love to check them out again in this magical place.
Sunday’s Unforgettable Send-Off
The final day, Sunday, promises an unforgettable send-off. Prepare for two extended sets from beloved improvisational rock outfit Goose, and an epic two-hour performance from Joe Russo’s Almost Dead. UK garage sensation Sammy Virji will also make his Hulaween debut, delivering one of the weekend’s most anticipated dancefloor sessions.
Sunday’s roster also features crowd-moving sets from dubstep king Peekaboo, virtuosic guitar player Molly Tuttle, and rock/country jammer Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country. Additional highlights include Alex Wann, Shadowgrass, and Maz, ensuring the weekend closes on an extraordinary note, blending musical exploration with the unmistakable spirit of Suwannee.
I am already mentally preparing myself to have scheduled conflicts and mixed emotions about each day! The lineup looks stacked and the best thing about it is the genuine mixture of genres. I believe in my heart of hearts, that this Hula is going to be so much fun exploring the daytime activities to the night time festivities. Something that I always try to do, with every festival, is to expand my music taste, Hulaween is THE festival to do this at.
In an era where many festivals are driven by corporate agendas, Hulaween remains fiercely independent—a festival that honors artistic risk-taking, community, and imagination.
Whether you’re drawn by the world-class musical lineup or the enchanting pull of Spirit Lake, Hulaween 2025 invites you to step beyond the veil—into a world where light and sound dance as one.
