Coalessence Festival announces full schedule

Above, the electronica/jam band Pnuma Trio perform the song “Bufkins.” Let’s hope they bring this kind of light show with them when the band performs Oct. 3 at the Coalessence Festival in Eureka Springs.

On the heels of the upcoming Mulberry Mountain Harvest Music Festival near Ozark (more about it in a post later this week), the Coalessence Festival has recently announced its full lineup and schedule.

There are some interesting bands and speakers on the roster, and the event is more than just a place to watch music. Performing (or speaking) during the event are reggae bands, electronica acts and health-and-wellness conscious speakers such as raw foods advocate Viktoras Kulvinskas and Alex Grey, a visual artist whose work has been used by the band Tool for its albums covers and stage shows.

Camping, tai chi, hiking, swimming, canoeing and more will be available during the festival, which will take place from Oct. 3-5 at Lake Leatherwood in Eureka Springs.

Tickets are on sale now through the the festival’s Web site and are $93.33/three days with camping, $77.77/three days no camping, $53.33/Oct. 4 only and $21.11/Oct. 5 only.

The press release announcing the schedule includes the following disclaimer, so the times appear tentative:

“TIME SLOTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED, THINGS CHANGE AND WE ARE NOT FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE TO YOU IF THEY DO, BUT WE STILL LOVE YOU! ”
