Not too long ago, we told you about the upcoming first-ever Great GoogaMooga festival, which will go down on May 19th and 20th at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.
Brought to you by Superfly Presents, the besties in festies who created the Bonnaroo juggernaut, the Great GoogaMooga is something altogether different. It’s as much a food and drink festival as it is a music festival. And there are free general admission tickets as well as the all-inclusive paid ticket experience.
From the press release: “Like a great chef decides upon the perfect food combination and then picks the ideal wine to go along in order to create the ultimate meal, Superfly has curated the music to complement the unprecedented food experience that is GoogaMooga. It is a line up that has something for everybody — from soul to gospel to jazz to punk to indie rock and even cover bands – and the thread connecting it all is that each band is upbeat, fun, and brings the party to wherever they perform.”
So let’s take a look at the just-announced music schedule for the Great GoogaMooga:
Saturday May 19
