LSZEE

This year’s Hulaween marks the grand finale of a transformative sonic journey—the conclusion of the LSZEE Tour, the collaborative project between visionary producers LSDream and CloZee. Long-time favorites of Hulaween’s enchanted grounds, these two artists have elevated their individual magic into a shared experience that has captivated crowds across the country. Their most recent project, LSZEE: ENIGMA MIXTAPE, showcases this dynamic chemistry and has further proven how their sonic synergy has morphed into a fluid force of frequencies.

Since the debut of LSZEE, their spellbinding sets have resonated deeply with fans and fellow artists alike, weaving together bass, mysticism, and immersive visuals into something wholly transcendent. From the lush woods of Electric Forest to the iconic lights of Brooklyn Mirage, LSZEE has redefined the limits of live electronic performance—and now, their final chapter unfolds where the veil is always thinnest: The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. Prepare to witness the last pulse of this unforgettable project, as sacred frequencies and cosmic energy ripple through the trees one final time in a spectacular performance.

Tape B b2b Mersiv

Under the glowing Suwannee stars, two titans of bass music, Tape B and Mersiv, reunite for a long-awaited back-to-back set that promises to shake the forest to its roots. Both artists have carved out massive followings with their explosive sound design, signature low-end mastery, and unforgettable live sets that have captivated bassheads across the nation.

Tape B has remained a dominant force in the scene, holding listeners in a tight grip since his emergence. This summer saw the release of the sixth chapter in his beloved Driptapes series—just in time to fuel a fresh wave of festival sets with new, unreleased heat. Meanwhile, Mersiv makes his return to Hulaween as the final stop on his monumental 444 album tour. This staple project showcases the full scope of his emotional, high-intensity sound, blending ethereal melodies with relentless bass in a way that only Mersiv has mastered.

In addition to their much-hyped back-to-back set, both artists will deliver solo performances, giving fans the full spectrum of their unique sonic identities. With this kind of energy converging in the heart of the Suwannee, this will be one of the most talked-about sets of the weekend!

Goose

After making their mark on Hulaween in 2023, Connecticut-based jam band, Goose, make their return to The Spirit of Suwannee Music Park as a highly sought-after headliner. Their 2025 album, Everything Must Go, made ripples amongst jam and casual fans alike, with standout tracks like “Your Direction” and “Give It Time” quickly becoming Goose essentials. Hulaween can’t wait to welcome this genre-bending quartet band back to Suwannee, with a standout set complete with one-of-a-kind covers, core fan grooves like “Arcadia”, and brand new Goose jams like “Thatch” on the horizon. If you haven’t caught a Goose set before, get ready to groove with your HulaFam and discover what just may be your new favorite band! The massive touring act just played Madison Square Garden and are climbing the ranks of jam band superstardom with every show they play.

Disco Lines

One of the fastest-rising names in electronic music, Disco Lines, is set to make his highly anticipated debut in the Suwannee woods. Known offstage as Thadeus Labuszewski, Disco Lines first broke onto the scene in 2019—but it was his viral remix of Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” that catapulted him into the spotlight, racking up millions of plays and earning him a widespread fanbase across the globe.

Since then, he’s become a household name in the world of high-energy bass house, bringing an infectious, feel-good vibe to every stage he graces, notably in his viral summer anthem, “No Broke Boys” with Tinashe. However, Disco Lines is far from one-dimensional. In recent years, his production and live sets have evolved to explore the full gamut of electronic sound, ranging from house and techno to trap and even dubstep!

As Disco Lines brings his vibrant, genre-blending energy to Hulaween for the first time, don’t be surprised if he flips the script mid-set. One thing’s for sure: Disco Lines is here to keep the dance floor moving and the crowd guessing.

ILLENIUM

After almost a decade, global electronic sensation and melodic bass savant, ILLENIUM, makes his homecoming to Suwannee Hulaween! Since returning to the charts this May with festival anthem, “In My Arms” in collaboration with iconic vocalist HAYLA, fans have been itching for some new ILLENIUM and are hoping to get blessed with a new full-length project before October.

Prepare to experience the full spectrum of emotions in this set, as ILLENIUM carries HulaFam to high peaks with classics like “Feel Something” alongside Excision and crowd-pleaser favorites like “All That Really Matters” with Teddy Swims from his 2023 self-titled LP. Deviating from the standard electronic subgenres at Hulaween, ILLENIUM is gearing up to bring some top-tier melodic bass that Suwannee hasn’t seen since he last played in 2016.

DJ Pee .Wee

One of the most electrifying artists of our time is bringing his turntables to the forest to light up Hulaween with an unforgettable, genre-defying DJ set—DJ Pee .Wee, the alter ego of Grammy-winning musician Anderson .Paak. Known worldwide for his magnetic stage presence, vintage soul flair, and musical versatility, Anderson .Paak has carved out an impressive career as a singer, rapper, drummer, and producer. Whether fronting his band The Free Nationals like he did at Hulaween 2019 or teaming up with Bruno Mars for the chart-dominating project Silk Sonic, .Paak consistently delivers feel-good magic that blurs the lines between funk, hip-hop, soul, and R&B.

As DJ Pee .Wee, Anderson .Paak steps behind the decks to channel that same infectious energy into a carefully curated, dance-heavy set packed with rare grooves, deep cuts, and unexpected turns. No vocals—just pure vibe. If last year’s surprise appearances and sold-out afterparties were any indication, this performance is shaping up to be one of the weekend’s must-see moments in .Paak’s cinematic return to Suwannee.

Glass Beams

In a dreamlike mirage fueled by Eastern musical influence and contemporary Western groove, elusive psychedelic rock band, Glass Beams, prepare to make a vibrant headline debut at Suwannee Hulaween. Formed several years ago in Australia during the pandemic, this one-of-a-kind act is redefining traditional psychedelic rock by blending its Indian roots with live instrumentation and electronica to create a mesmerizing visual world of its own making.

Glass Beams’ most recent five-track project, Mahal, reinstates their distinct hypnotic techniques that have continually mystified their audiences, garnering a worldwide fanbase with an insatiable infatuation with their sound in a short five-year span. As a Hulaween newcomer, the masked trio that is Glass Beams is sure to offer a unique set that will surely leave its mark on HulaFam for years to follow.
