independent thoughts on indie rock, alternative, and indie pop music
Friday at Hulaween 2026 brought unexpected discoveries, a spectacular My Morning Jacket performance, and the nighttime transformation of Spirit Lake. From AK SPORTS' blistering techno to surprise sets from Of The Trees and LYNY, the day offered far more than we'd ever managed to squeeze into our schedule.
Our first day at Hulaween began with Richard Finger, the very act that brought us there. From AHEE's unexpected set to Riordan at the Amphitheater, Crankdat's massive crowd, and Excision's laser-filled spectacle, Thursday gave us plenty to talk about before exhaustion finally won.
Let's introduce you to Tire Fire ahead of Hulaween 2026, including their bluegrass-fusion sound, latest single “Doom Cocoon” & our fave “Flight of the Phoenix.”
Hulaween 2026 is less than a month away, and plenty has changed since our first preview. We dig into the newly released set times, stacked daily schedules, camping options, airport transportation, VIP upgrades, and a few details still waiting to be revealed.
Suwannee Hulaween has completed its 2026 lineup with new additions, special collaborations, and four days of music at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. We take a closer look at the headliners, deeper lineup, costume themes, immersive art, and what festivalgoers should know before heading to Florida.
