Headlining this May are New Orleans funk legends Galactic. Galactic draw on 25 years together, 10 albums and over 2000 shows; they’ll be accompanied by vocal powerhouse Angelika “Jelly” Joseph. Balkan Bump brings high-energy global electrobrass and lush live production to the mix. Revolutionary rock n’ rollers The Last Internationale add a touch of grit. And Thievery Corporation founding member Rob Garza is set to play a sizzling late-night DJ set fusing dub, trip-hop, reggae, and bossa nova. Adding international flavor to the lineup: the trance dance-inducing Dutch-New Zealand trio, My Baby; the searing hypnotic rebel music of Tuareg tribesmen, Tamikrest; and HaitianAmerican Leyla McCalla, who sings in French, Haitian Creole and English. Do not miss these high-energy main stage performances: saddle up for some splendid rock-and-roll with over-the-top theatrical rockers, Whiskerman; be mesmerized by the electro-tribal force that is Trouble in the Streets; and take an extra- dimensional cosmic journey with Golden Dawn Arkestra.

The festival kicks off at 5pm on Thursday evening, the perfect warm-up to an action-packed weekend on the dancefloor with music rotating from early until late between four stages English.
