Fall Concert Preview: Langerado Music Festival

NICOLE MARTINS
Cypress Bay High School

Twenty-three acres of Markham Park in Sunrise will be crowded with music fans from around the world on October 8 and 9 for the return of Langerado Music Festival.
Headliners include Grammy-nominated Death Cab for Cutie and one of Rolling Stone's "Greatest Guitarists of All Time", Trey Anastasio.
The annual music festival has previously been held at the Seminole Big Cypress Indian Reservation in the Everglades and now comes to Sunrise after a two year break due to poor ticket sales in 2009.
With the strong lineup currently being advertised on Langerado's official website, there seems to be no chance that the festival will not come close to selling out.
Other performers include: Ben Harper, Ween, Thievery Corporation, Artic Monkeys, G. Love & Special Sauce, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Wolfgang Gartner, The Glitch Mob, Ghostland Observatory, among others.
To the delight of local concert goers, Langerado is bringing a selection of bands (many falling into the alternative genre) that so frequently skip over South Florida during their tours.
Advance 2-day pass tickets are currently being sold at $150, later to be increased to $180 regular passes.
More festival information and tickets can be found at www.langerado.com.
