Rise and shine for SunFest 2008

By Michael Roffman on March 7th, 2008

This weekend, Floridians will be able to treat themselves to some swamping and music at Langerado, but just around the corner, April 30th-May 4th to be exact, comes this year’s SunFest. It’s out of West Palm Beach, FL and just near the coast to feel the breeze and catch some rays. The line up isn’t too shabby, if not a little more aimed at mainstream appeal.

Sheryl Crow, Fergie, The Black Crowes, John Legend, Natasha Bedingfield, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Steel Pulse, Hellogoodbye, Stephen Marley, The Academy Is, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Little Feat, Hot Tuna, The Rippingtons, Classic Albums Live, Little River Band, Mindi Abair, Morris Day & the Time, Good Charlotte, Finger Eleven, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Rue Melo, Carney, Cerveza, The Blakes, Postmarks, The Whigs, The Drive Home, Chris McCarty Band, Landon Pigg, and Gabe Dixon Band. Additional entertainment announcements will be made as they are confirmed.

Tickets are sold on a day to day basis, but a five day pass is also available for $60, all of which are currently available online.

Considering the cheap ticket prices and the location, it’s not too weak of a festival. I’d say George Clinton, John Legend, and Morris Day are worth the price of admission alone. I’ll always remember going in 2004 and seeing Ian Astbury with the The Doors of the 21st Century, feeling the cool breeze against my face, thinking, “This is nice. Summer is here.”

But, that’s just me.
