This weekend, the community that holds Suwannee very near and dear to our hearts will make a return to Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, FL, for Resonate 2026.
Any time in the swamp is a blessing, but several components of Resonate 2026 will make this one a little more special. Grab your bug spray, camping gear, hiking shoes (or if you’re one of those barefoot swamp walkers, all the power to you), and get ready. Here are a few things to know before you hit Resonate 2026.
Getting There
Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park sits on the historic banks of the Suwannee River in Live Oak, Florida. It’s about an hour west of Gainesville, and two hours from Jacksonville or Tampa. The main address for check-in during the festival is 3076 95th Dr., Live Oak, FL 32060. However, early arrivals on Wednesday (April 15th) will first check in at 9379 CR-132, Live Oak, FL 32060 before transitioning to the main gate. Heads up: GPS can definitely get finicky in the swamp, so download offline maps in advance (trust me, I’ve made the rookie mistake). If you have questions upon your arrival, you can call the Spirit of the Suwannee front office at (386)-364-1683.
Tickets & Passes
There are options for attendees of all kinds this year. The 3-Day GA pass is $304.67 all-in, and includes festival access plus primitive camping Thursday through Saturday, with checkout at noon on Sunday. A 2-Day GA pass is $270 and will cover Friday and Saturday with camping included. Single-day passes are available for $170, though those do not include overnight camping.
For those hoping to upgrade the entire experience, VIP packages range from the Space Cadet ($230 for a single day) all the way to the Space Station glamping package at $2,237.70 for two, which includes a fully furnished canvas tent with queen or twin beds, bedding, and more. All VIP tiers include access to air-conditioned restrooms near the stage (!!), a private lounge with discounted beverages, a VIP viewing area, a VIP happy hour, shuttles to the festival grounds, and last but certainly not least, a massage therapist. Important note: parking is not included with any admission passes, and must be purchased separately.
Passes are available here. Buy in advance, because prices are going to increase by the time you get to the gate. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
The Lineup
Year six of Resonate is shaping up to be an all-time weekend. The festival is headlined by bass music’s queen CloZee, who will perform two nights, including a takeover by her Odyzey Music label. Psytrance pioneer Shpongle will present both a Simon Posford live set and also a DJ set from his project Younger Brother with Benji Vaughan.
What could be the most anticipated set of the weekend: The String Cheese Incident’s Michael Travis and Jason Hann are playing their first set as EOTO since February 2020! String Cheese is the sacred flame of Hulaween (also takes place in Suwannee), so their return to Suwannee as EOTO is going to be something special.
The rest of the bill is just as star-studded, with both Suwannee regulars and fresh faces: Mickman, Schmoop, Break Science, Moontricks, Cimafunk, and Ott. will also be joined by Defunk, High Step Society, Underground Springhouse, Josh Teed, Supersillyus, Sauce Pocket, Chalk Dinosaur, Algorhythm, Humandala, and many more. Teaming up with an all-star lineup of artists will be a superb rotation of VJs, with Jonathan Singer & Glass Crane slinging pixels for Shpongle, EOTO, and K.L.O. Fractaled Visions, Actualize, Papa Bear, Diethylamide, and others will also handle visuals for other sets throughout the weekend, and play massive roles in bringing the A/V experience to life.

Things to Do at the Park
You’re not doing Suwannee justice if you’re not experiencing the swamp and all it has to offer; that’s just about half the magic. It’s an 800-acre campground, and you can kayak or canoe across the river. There’s also a disc golf course winding through the trees for any chain-bangers. Furthermore, land lovers can hike or bike through miles of trails, fish for freshwater, or admire any of the wildlife throughout the property. Speaking of which: do yourself a favor and visit the bat house during sunset at least once. Golf carts are also a Suwannee tradition. If you bring one instead of renting one, be sure to grab your trail fee pass in advance and have your insurance documents ready.
There is also a playground near the horse stables, and it’s always a silly time stopping by and swinging on the swings or spinning on the wheel. The Country Store is open daily, and tons of food vendors like Ali Baba’s, Wildcrafters, Asian Sensation, Higher Taste (A Suwannee Staple), Wanderdust Coffee, and others will be setting up shop and operating all weekend. There’s also The Cafe just outside the venue.
Things to Know Before You Go
You’ll save yourself a ton of time getting in by completing your waivers before arriving. Everyone 18 and older must have an adult waiver on file, and parents will also need to fill out a parental waiver for any children 17 and under who are attending. Both can be done online in advance; it’s a big convenience boost if you knock them out ahead of time. Bring a valid ID. Pets are not allowed at Resonate 2026, as an FYI. As for bags, anything smaller than 13x13x15 does not need to be clear, but oversized bags do. Oh, and please, for Pete’s sake, leave the glass and drones at home.
Lastly, I hope every one of you gets to experience the magic that Suwannee has given so many of us, including myself… You all deserve it. This place somehow has a way of digging into your soul (in the best way possible), and I hope it does the same for every single person heading down to Live Oak next weekend. Here’s to a weekend that truly resonates with our bodies. We’ll see you in the swamp!
