After triumphantly returning in 2024 following an 11-year absence, Whippersnap Music & Arts Festival is back again for 2025. Set for February 19th–22nd at the Florida Sand Music Ranch in Brooksville, FL, the festival will feature two sets from returning headliners The New Mastersounds, a looping set by Keller Williams, plus performances by Polyrhythmics and many more.

Florida’s own Allman Brothers Band tribute Steeln’ Peaches will kick off Whippernsap with two sets at the Wednesday pre-party. Music festival mainstay Keller Williams will then stage one of his unparalleled looping performances on Thursday, followed by Seattle-based Polyrhythmics’ multi-faceted psych-funk offerings on Friday, and finally two sets of The New Mastersounds on Saturday. Artist-at-large Kanika Moore (TAUK Moore, Doom Flamingo) will perform with The New Mastersounds, Polyrhythmics, and other Florida acts, with Alex Steele, Joe Marcinek, JP Miller, and Sooza Horns serving as wandering artists throughout the weekend.

In addition to the headliners, Whippersnap’s undercard lineup is filled with top talent from Florida and beyond. Also appearing at Whippersnap 2025 are jamtronic band MiniM, soulful Denver electronic act Future Joy, homegrown Florida jam favorites Ajeva and Guavatron, Atlanta folk outfit The Ain’t Sisters, ringleader Joe Marcinek and The Whippersnap All-Stars, and electronic trio Greenhouse Lounge, who will reunite at the festival. Firewater Tent Revival, Organ Fairchild, Chicago Farmer, Displace, Tru Phonic, Antelope, The Reality, The Headtones, Tire Fire, Moonstone Riders, Sooza Brass Band, Tasty Vibrations, Shoeless Soul, Bodchitta, Barefoot Fred, and Kat Hines fill out the remainder of the lineup.

These acts will stage staggered performances across two stages to ensure no sets overlap. Festivalgoers will bask in the light of Disco Biscuits lighting director Alex “Herm” Schneider, who leads the production team alongside Sunshine State locals Laser Fox, Audio One, Dreem Lume, and Planet Zuton. After the Whippersnap Stage goes dark each night, late-night acoustic performances will keep the party going into the night. Then the next morning, attendees can recharge with wellness classes, yoga, and Qi Gong, or partake in a Friday night sound bath after the music ends. Whippersnap also has plenty of activities for kids, including tie-dye and percussion workshops, a scavenger hunt, and an onsite playground.

Tickets for the 2025 Whippersnap Festival are on sale here. The Florida Sand Music Ranch offers onsite primitive camping, RV spots with electric and water hookups, permanent restrooms, and shower houses. The festival will cap attendance at 2,500 people to ensure a close-knit feel.
