If you’re into Florida’s underground music scene, mark your calendar. Florida Underground Fest 6 is coming to Downtown Sanford, and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest weekends of the year for live music in the state.
We’re talking five stages, ninety bands, and three full days of non-stop performances showcasing some of the best talent Florida has to offer.
A Festival Layout That Actually Makes Sense
One of the smartest things about this year’s fest? The location. Downtown Sanford’s setup is pretty much ideal for an event like this. Everything is anchored between Tuffy’s and West End, with stages positioned along 2nd Street. Festival-goers will pass right by Celery City as they move between stages.
Translation: no endless walking across massive fields or getting lost trying to find the next act you want to catch. Just a straightforward back-and-forth route with all the action right there in front of you. It’s the kind of layout that lets you actually enjoy a three-day festival without destroying your feet in the process.
Ninety Bands, Endless Possibilities
The lineup is stacked with artists from across Florida – the kind of bands that remind you why the state’s underground scene is so vital. Whether you’re into hardcore, punk, metal, indie, or anything in between, there’s going to be something (or someone) that hits.
Some of the confirmed acts include Caustic Bats, Chilled Monkey Brains, Killed by Florida, Robots Prevail, Shakers, The Supervillains, and Wolf Face – and that’s just scratching the surface. With ninety bands spread across three days and five stages, you’re basically guaranteed to discover your new favorite artist. That’s half the fun of a fest like this – stumbling onto a band you’ve never heard of and having your mind blown.
How to Get There
Tickets are available now, with options for single-day passes if you can only make part of the weekend, or weekend passes if you want the full experience (which, let’s be honest, you probably do).
Don’t wait until the last minute to grab tickets now!
Florida Underground Fest 6 happens January 9 – 11 in Downtown Sanford across three days. Five stages. Ninety bands. You know what to do.
