Venerable Arkansas music festival Wakarusa has announced the first wave of artists that will be appearing at this year’s edition of the event which will take place May 31st – June 2nd. While this announcement includes the second ever appearance of the Weir, Robinson & Greene Acoustic Trio (the first was at The Rocky Mountain Folks Fest last August) alongside sets from Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Beats Antique, Keller Williams, and Railroad Earth, it also features two prominent names from right here in Colroado: Pretty Lights & Head For The Hills.
Yes, it’s still January, but it’s never to early to start planning for Festival Season! Wakarusa is a mere 14 hour drive from Denver, so start getting your carpool lined up. Tickets start at $149 for a “Full Event” pass and are available now at the Wakarusa website. Stay tuned for another announcement on January 12th!
