Sunshine Get Down Music & Art Festival is headed back to Florida next month with a loaded 2025 lineup topped by jam-funk foursome Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, vivacious party-starters Andy Frasco & The U.N., and alt/reggae/jam hybrid Big Something. The third annual festival will return to the Florida Sand Music Ranch in Brooksville from April 10th–12th.
Sunshine Get Down will present a vibrant array of artists at this year’s festival, with 22 acts in total playing on two alternating stages. Harmony-rich Grateful Dead tribute Grateful Shred, dynamic organ trio LaMP (ft. Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger, and Ray Paczkowski), rising Nashgrass act Sicard Hollow, genre-fluid Florida duo The Ries Brothers, West African-meets-jam rock ensemble Toubab Krewe, and Caribbean reggae band Propaganjah help fill out the delightfully eclectic lineup.
Other highlights of the artist roster include SiriusXM Phish Radio host Tad Cautious who will stage a Talking Heads DJ dance party and host silent discos. The Lee Boys, Crazy Fingers, Kettle Of Fish, Sauce Pocket, Displace, Tropico Blvd, Tuff Son, Sgammato School of Music: Judyanne Jackson & Iron Curtain, Western Gypsies, and Jazz Daddy Os fill out the remainder of the lineup.
Besides a thoughtfully curated lineup, what has helped make Sunshine Get Down an emerging jewel of Florida’s music festival scene is the bucolic Florida Sand Ranch. This 80-acre wooded retreat lies between Tampa and Orlando for convenient access and allows plenty of space for attendees to sprawl out and unplug for a weekend. The festival will host a variety of additional activities including acoustic jams, guitar workshops, sound meditation, yoga, kid’s arts and crafts, and much more. Over the fall, the festival expanded with the Sunshine Hootenanny, which debuted to rave reviews in November with moe., Dogs In A Pile, Karina Rykman, and more.
