Letter from Michael League & Paul Lehr
Dear GroundUP Music Festival Family and Friends,
We’re excited for you to join us for our 8th annual GroundUP Music Festival at the Miami Beach Bandshell from February 2-4, 2024. Due to construction that will be taking place adjacent to the Bandshell on Friday until 6:00pm, there will be a few changes to the schedule and physical layout this year:
- Friday, February 2 – the music program will be from 7:00-11:00pm in the Festival Bandshell only (not in the adjacent park). This will be a not-to-be-missed evening featuring a SNARKY PUPPY FAMILY DINNER set as well as a one-time-only performance from a very special artist to be announced soon. Before the music starts, we will host an actual family dinner, with Snarky Puppy members and other festival artists dining with you.
- Attendance for the Friday shows is open exclusively to 3-Day Ticketholders;
- Attendance for the Friday shows + Family Dinner Experience is included for All-In Ticketholders, 3-Day Ticketholders who also purchase Family Dinner Experience tickets, or ticketholders who purchase Friday Family Dinner Experience/Show Combo tickets (only 150 available).
- Saturday/Sunday, February 3-4 – There will be a different physical footprint this year with festival entry through the park, the replacement of the VIP SkyLounge with a new VIP area, and a reduced capacity of 1,200 ticketed attendees per day instead of 2,000, keeping things even more intimate. We anticipate tickets to sell out well in advance of festival weekend.
There are a lot of changes this year, but we both feel that they will result in a more enjoyable festival experience all around. We hope to see you on the beach in February!
Michael League Paul Lehr
Artistic Director CEO
