AURA Music & Arts Festival has opted for new dates for the 2015 festival. The new weekend will be March 6-8, which is close to when the festival was held in 2012 in St. Cloud, Florida. The Spirit of Suwannee Music Park will be the venue for the festival once again, which is just fine with us. The Suwannee is the illest place on planet earth, and we all know this. The new date will hopefully offer some warmer weather, which is nice because it’s DAMN cold. #conspirator #phish #

Guys I have good news…AURA is approaching! That’s right gang! Our time away from the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park is coming to an end, thankfully. Today we are going to focus on the one, the only, LOTUS, as we increase your (and our) anticipation for the upcoming AURA Music & Arts Festival. First off, I’d like to say that the band is currently killing it. The setlists have been looking real crunchy as they warm up the  currently freezing United States. Good thing they’re bri

Words by Taylor Cleary [ Image via AURA Music & Arts Festival’s Instagram @auramusicfest ] AURA Music Festival is upon us, and it almost overshadows the other major event of that weekend: Valentine’s Day. But that’s not to say you can’t celebrate both! Here are some V-Day ideas you can take heart in (sorry, had to) with your Suwannee sweetie: Take a nature walk If there’s one thing the Suwannee isn’t short on, it’s nature. Duh. So go enjoy it! Take a break from the whiskey (o

We asked our Facebook following which songs they want to hear Papadosio play at the AURA Music & Arts Festival come Valentine’s weekend. Here’s what we got… “Find Your Cloud” “…because it makes me feel like i’m freaking floating.” – Patrick Griffin “I really hope they play Find your Cloud! It’s one of my all time favorites and last time I saw them they didn’t play it so I would really enjoy hearing it live.” – Liane Robinson “The Sum” “That song hits the soul” – Dre Hernandez

The good folks over at AURA Music & Arts Festival have announced the schedule for their fifth annual festival. Highlights include a Friday night The Revivalists > Heavy Pets > Papadosio > ZOOGMA > Kung Fu > Conspirator > Talking Heads Tribute over about 10 hours. You’ll undoubtably need to strap on a backpack with your evening wear, because there’s very little opportunity to head back to camp without missing dope music. Saturday has late night sets by Lotus (12am – 1:45am) an

Conspirator will return to the Suwannee for this year’s AURA Music & Arts Festival. Fans of the band may be reluctant to remember Hulaween’s torrential downpour that kept the band, along with Big Gigantic, from performing at the festival. Considering these circumstances, Conspirator better be ready to bring it come AURA. Last year, Conspirator was amidst their full-blown EDM experiment. The songs were beginning to sound more like Porter Robinson or Skrillex b-sides than anyth

Papadosio ended their 3-night run in Jacksonville on Saturday with a double set show, something that they may need to do more often. The two nights prior they handled their biggest headlining shows in Florida at the Culture Room and the State Theater. Both shows were slam packed for the band that has been frequenting the AURA Music & Arts Festival since its inception 4 years ago. The growth of the band has brought Papadosio to the spotlight of the jamtronica scene. The improv
