Following a successful debut back in March, Suwannee Amp Jam will return to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park for its second annual installment. Suwannee Amp Jam #2 will bring Warren Haynes Band (two sets), Umphrey’s McGee (two sets), and Lettuce (two nights) to Live Oak, FL, from February 26th–28th, 2026 [get tickets].
The second Suwannee Amp Jam will host a number of guest-filled collaborations. In addition to an original set, Umphrey’s McGee will play an “All Night Wrong” cover set featuring Haynes, a horn section of Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band), Skerik (Les Claypool), and Alex Wasily (Dumpstaphunk), sacred steel guitarist Roosevelt Collier, and more. Phil Lesh’s son Grahame Lesh will also lead a band consisting of Haynes, Nels Cline (Wilco), Rob Barraco (Dark Star Orchestra), and John Molo.
Additionally, Dumpstaphunk will stage a tribute to Sly and The Family Stone, and The Nth Power will host a special set with Hartswick, Cory Henry, and Robert “Sput” Searight (Ghost-Note). New power trio, The Heavyweights with Eric Krasno, Cory Henry, and Sput, will also make its Park debut in one of the band’s very first live appearances. Family Company will also make its Suwannee debut with two nights of performances, in addition to sets by Roosevelt Collier Band, New Dawn Starkestra, Brock Butler Band led by the Perpetual Groove frontman, and Gullah Collective.
In an homage to beloved former Suwannee festivals Bear Creek and Wanee, the Amp Jam distills the experience back to its essentials: one stage, tons of great artists, and no over-the-top production. In addition to keeping ticket prices affordable (starting at $199 plus fees, including three nights of camping), it also keeps the focus on the music, the hallowed Amphitheater Stage, and the lineup of legendary artists, many of whom are Suwannee family at this point.
“The plan for Amp Jams is to facilitate a reconnection with the Suwannee musical family, congregate the faithful to the park, and distill the peerless SOSMP experience into its most potent form,” organizers wrote in a press release.
In his review of this year’s inaugural Suwannee Amp Jam #1, longtime SOSMP man-on-the-scene B. Getz wrote, “With this intimate endeavor, Suwannee Amp Jam sought to reconnect with the treasured community, traditions, legacy musicians, and heritage native to these historic hoedowns in the swamp. For years, fans had been loudly and persistently clamoring for precisely this kind of funky function to return to the Music Park. In the tailwind of an instant classic weekend in the woods, it’s safe to say: Mission Accomplished.”
