Gasparilla Music Festival Blows It Out of the Water with Additions to Its Lineup
Tampa’s Gasparilla Music Festival just got ginormously fantastic with additions announced to an already diverse lineup that includes headliners The Roots, Father John Misty, Spoon and Break Science.

Other national recording artists include country singer Nikki Lane, indie pop band War Paint, Southern roots songwriter Matt Woods And The Natural Disasters, and more. They join a previously announced stellar lineup of national acts that consist of Mondo Cozmo, KOLARS, Cave Singers, Imagination Movers, The War and Treaty, and Eric Tessmer.
