Organizers of south Florida’s Funk Fest Punta Gorda have shared the lineup for their 10th annual event set for early next year. The two-day music festival will return to coastal Florida city on February 15th and 16th, 2019, and will celebrate a decade of funkin’ around with performances from Lettuce, Papadosio and Here Come The Mummies, just to name a few.
The festival’s lineup announcement on Wednesday followed some hinting posts shared through the event’s social media pages over the past few months, most notably their September 12th post stating, “Our 10th year will be tasty…” That “tasty” lineup of theirs certainly looks to be just that, with a poster that also includes The Werks performing a funk-themed set of music by The Red Hot Chili Peppers and a performance by Joe Marcinek Band featuring longtime Jerry Garcia bandmate Melvin Seals, Soulive’s Alan Evans and Dumpstaphunk’s Tony Hall. The 2019 lineup will also include performances from Voodoo Visionary, Funk You, Hedonistas, Floatiez doing a set of Jamiroquai tunes, and Banyan.

The annual funk event will also celebrate their double-digit birthday with larger festival grounds this year. In addition to a Food Truck Village and 15+ vendors to keep attendees energized and funked up all weekend long, the event’s producers have also expanded their VIP experience for the coming year with the Captain Nemo’s Nautilus Lounge, a very fitting title for the waterfront event that takes place along the shores of the Gasparilla Sound on Florida’s Gulf coast. The newly themed VIP experience will include complimentary craft beer and boutique wine in addition to “special effects” and a front-row seat to all the performances that weekend. Aye aye, Captain!
One of the other features that sets Funk Fest aside from traditionally strict mainstream music events is the fact that attendees have the chance to take in all the fun with their furry friends. You read that correctly—Funk Fest is a pet-friendly festival as, long as said animals remain on their leashes at all times and owners clean up after their them. The answers to other F.A.Q.s and more general information can be found at the festival’s official website.
