Harvest of Hope offers more bands, quickly becomes favorite for most underrated festival of 2009
Let’s face it. Amidst the current economic environment, all of us are being a bit cautious on how we spend our money. So when an opportunity like Harvest of Hope presents itself, one can’t help but embrace the St. Augustine, Florida based music festival.
And that was before the newest round of lineup additions.
As we first mentioned a few weeks back, Florida will play host to not one, but two music festivals during the weekend of March 6-8, 2009. That’s because the folks over at the Harvest of Hope Foundation have decided to organize a three-day music extravaganza during this time, with all proceeds going directly toward the aid of migrant farmers. Initially, the lineup appeared to favor the punk side of the music spectrum with Against Me!, Bouncing Souls, Lucero, Mute Math, and Monotix among the early confirmees.
However, remember that new round of lineup additions we mentioned a few paragraphs up? Yeah, well, that brought a multitude of new acts, spanning nearly every genre, along for the Harvest of Hope ride. The National, DeVotchKa, The Virgins, Ra Ra Riot, HEALTH, Wild Sweet Orange, Grand Buffet, and Murs are among those acts highlighting the most recent lineup offering. So are Bad Brains, Propagandhi, The Faint, Hammell on Trial, Holy Fuck, and our good friends Look Mexico. Need I say more?
That’s ok, because we still haven’t mentioned the fact that you can get this unbelievably awesome eclectic lineup for just $29.50! Yep, the prices hasn’t change since we last checked, even after all these additions. Plus, all proceeds benefit a good cause.
Economy say what?

This lineup is okay. Certainly a great deal for the price. But damn…if I lived anywhere close I’d buy the one day pass and go on Sunday for that rap lineup:
Inspectah Deck -> Murs -> Kool Keith -> Diplo -> KRS-One -> GZA -> Some ridiculous super jam thing involving all of them.
Pretty damn sweet…
No you’re not stupid, haha, I don’t see them on there either. Which sucks cause they’re the only reason I want to go! Any one know if they’re for sure going to be there??
girl talk is everywhere
Black Kids are no longer on the lineup either.
Am I stupid, or do I not see Mute Math on that poster?
