Langerado Music Festival announced a few months back that they were again switching their location, this time moving from the swamplands of Big Cypress to Bicentennial Park on Biscayne Bay in the concrete jungle of Miami. This relocation is accompanied by a parallel change to the style of the the festival's line-up. While the festival has always featured a variety of styles of bands, it's always leaned quite heavily on the jamband realm. This year's artist listing features a wide array of popular indie-rock, hip-hop, dance, punk and reggae acts that you would probably expect to find at Lollapalooza rather that Langerado. Topping the bill are Death Cab For Cutie, who have been gaining steam since the recent release of their album Narrow Stairs, as well as Snoop Dogg, Thievery Corporation, Ryan Adams & the Cardinals, Public Enemy and The Pogues.
