Wakarusa returns to Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, AR for it’s 10 year anniversary celebration from May, 30th – June, 2nd. The deep lineup encompasses a wide variety of genres including electronic dance music, hip hop, alternative, soul, improvisational jam, alternative country and more. It boasts over 100 acts spread across five stages in four days, featuring headliners Widespread Panic, Dispatch, STS9, The Black Crowes, Amon Tobin, Shpongle presents The Masquerade, Tipper , Rebelution and more.
I am most anticipating the full Shpongle ensemble along with the “mind-blowing visual productions” by Amon Tobin & Tipper. Expect Tobin to bring “ISAM 2.0 Live” to the mountain, his projection mapped visual experience which is unlike anything you may have seen before.

With over 20,000 fans in attendance last year, Wakarusa returns with not only a deep bill of talent, but also provides activities beyond the music for festival goers to partake in. Be on the lookout for art installations with live painters, artist workshops, waterfall hikes, disc golf, yoga and more. Rather than a sole focus on the music, Waka is a full circle. natural experience of both mind and body.

Unlike many large festival gatherings in the US, Wakarusa is not within close vicinity of any urban life or metro skyscrapers. Located just east of Oklahoma in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, Waka prides itself on the connection with it’s natural landscape and the freedom that comes along with it. We sometimes take the simple things for granted and many of us (myself included) often succumb to the luxuries of inner city festival life. While TV, hot showers, and air conditioning are extremely appealing, this is a chance for you to turn of that cell phone and separate yourself from the bearings of everyday life, all while discovering new music and forging new friendships.
