Music & Arts festival at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, FL ~ April 16-18, 2026. What are you waiting for? Secure your swamp pass and buy your ticket here!
There are festival venues, and then there’s Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. If you’ve ever stood beneath those towering oaks covered in Spanish moss, you know it’s not only a backdrop, but part of the Suwannee experience. We have been super fortunate to roam these grounds for Tipper & Friends and Hulaween. Every time it feels less like attending a festival and more like making a return to sacred grounds. The energy here is deeper and more intentional. It’s the kind of place where moments last a bit longer, and sound definitely carries differently.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, that’s what makes Resonate Suwannee so compelling as a festival. Intimate by design. Rooted in forward-thinking music. Top of the echelon when it comes to curation. Call me crazy, but it’s not always about massive mainstage starpower.
It’s about connection and community, and also artists who push their craft in thoughtful, experimental, and sometimes psychedelic directions. With that in mind, here are 8 artists we think you shouldn’t miss this April at Resonate.
Ooga
It’s tough to think of many artists who have climbed as quickly and organically as Ooga. His roots in guitar very much predate his entry into electronic producing a few years ago. What began as just a pivot into bass music rapidly turned into a breakout surge, with Ooga earning headlining slots across the country and bookings within the Tipper & Friends orbit, including Suwannee in 2025, Rendezvous 2024, and Tipper at the Gorge in 2025.
His tunes carry a great instrumental foundation with a crazy, intuitive sense of tension. It separates him from just a pure laptop-born project. At Resonate, he will debut his first live guitar set, which is a full circle moment that bridges where he started and also where he might be headed. If you’re looking for a set that shows just how flexible an artist we love is, and want to see what else they are capable of, this is definitely it.
Josh Teed
Josh Teed continues to bring his own flavor to bass music with fantastical and experimental sound designs. His origins as a classically trained violinist give him a fresh perspective and unique sound as he combines live instrumentation with methodically produced melodies and epic bass drops. His music seems to weave a story, using hard-hitting beats to make you bounce and violin solos that will hit you right in the feels. His collaborations with numerous popular artists in the scene and his electrifying performances are guaranTEED to make him a household name once experienced. Check out his newest album, The Tides of Change:
Ott.
Ott. sure is no stranger to Resonate. Heading back for his 4th consecutive year to give us yet another set of all original, strange, and happy tunes. Few artists channel psychedelic downtempo with the warmth and depth of Ott. His music feels both grounding and otherworldly; equal parts playful and profound. His compositions unfold patiently, inviting listeners to settle in for a colorful journey that leaves you with a sense of joyful wonder.
K.L.O.
There are a few projects in the ecosystem that command the kind of respect that K.L.O. does. With Lone Drum‘s precision in turntablism and Osmetic (Mike Wallis)’s architecture and live mixing, the project forms a backbone of both a sound and a scene.
Their set for Tipper at Red Rocks this past September was a masterclass in setting the tone. The kind of opener performance that not only warms up the crowd, but recalibrates it. Wallis’s presence at Resonate holds extra gravity because it marks his return to the stage after battling brain cancer, including a memorable daytime appearance in Suwannee during Tipper & Friends 2023. Beyond performing, he’s also the driving force behind Colony Productions, which recently celebrated 25 years with a stacked anniversary compilation 25, including K.L.O.’s new track “Don’t Go”. The compilation sits proudly alongside contributions from artists like Tipper, Duffrey, Alejo, Mickman, and Schmoop, It’s tough to vocalize just how central the K.L.O. project remains to helping build the infrastructure and carry on the legacy in this very scene. In the swamp, this one feels less like a booking and more like a full-circle moment.
Schmoop
Few artists represent the evolution of the uptempo psychedelic bass movement like Schmoop. Emerging from the ecosystem that surrounded Tipper & Friends, Schmoop became more than just a lineup regular; he became a pillar within the community. His sound design is stupidly detailed, with rhythmic shifts and growls that keep crowds losing their marbles. His collab project Wonky Llama with Jade Cicada further cemented his place in the highest tier of bass experimentation. Attendees would be getting their money’s worth in getting the Schmoop knocked out of them.
Mickman
Hailing from Peoria, Illinois, Mickman has loudly become one of the most potent names in the modern psychedelic bass movement. Known for his intricate halftime compositions and simplistic yet textural layering, Mickman’s music is crazy technical without losing any emotional depth to it. A staple within the Tipper & Friends ecosystem, he has delivered standout performances at Suwannee for both Tipper & Friends in 2022 and Rendezvous in 2024. He has cemented his place in a series of artists who ‘get’ the swamp’s magic. His sets typically start off with warm, intentional downtempo and build tension through detail. The next thing you know, it’s a full-blown dance party. Back under the Spanish moss at Resonate, attendees should expect a fun journey of nuance and storytelling that is literally built for high-fi rumble.
Shpongle
Shpongle returns to Resonate for not one but TWO sets. Last year, we got the Simon Posford Live set. For 2026, we’ll have that plus a special Younger Brother set with music from Simon’s earlier collaborations with Benji Vaughan. For decades, Shpongle has delivered swirling, cinematic psychedelia that bends space and melts time. Add in a dose of Younger Brother, and this year’s journey goes even deeper. Get ready to get Shpongled.
EOTO
EOTO IS BACK! No two sets are alike, and we’re sure to get something incredible from this duo as they make their way back into the music and arts scene. The return of EOTO means one thing: pure, unrepeated magic. Known for fully improvised performances created entirely in real time, their approach blends live instrumentation with electronic production in a way that keeps every set distinct. It’s glitchy, it’s heavy, it’s funky, and it feels alive.
