10KLF :: music | nature

The Sixth Annual 10,000 Lakes Festival (10KLF) is tickled to announce the initial lineup for this year’s celebration of music, nature and community. 10KLF '08 will feature performances by:

Phil Lesh & Friends
The Flaming Lips
Michael Franti & Spearhead
Mickey Hart Band feat. Steve Kimock & George Porter Jr.
Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood
Slightly Stoopid
Dark Star Orchestra
Panjea with Michael Kang
JJ Grey & MOFRO
New Mastersounds
Everyone Orchestra
The Wood Brothers
Cornmeal
WBPN
The Hue
And over 40 more acts to be announced

Along with these artists, the OurStage 10KLF Cosmic Break Tour presents emerging musicians nationwide with the chance to perform at this year’s festival. Artists may simply submit their music on the OurStage 10KLF channel without charge and then it’s up to the fans to decide. Based on OurStage’s fan-rankings, 50 bands will be selected to perform at 10 regional tour stops throughout the Midwest this April. At each stop, five bands will take the stage to perform live where the band with the most audience votes at each show receives a paid performance at 10KLF in July.

Located off the beaten path in Minnesota’s pristine North Country, the New York Times praises 10,000 Lakes Festival’s “enticing” wooded and lakeside camping grounds, describing them in last year’s Summer Festival Guide as “perfect for long walks.”

While such long walks can certainly be relaxing, they are by no means necessary. The festival’s five different concert stages are strategically placed within short walking distance of each other. Over 600 acres of unspoiled lakeside and forest camping provide an unusually tranquil and natural festival setting.

Strolling around the Soo Pass Ranch’s 60-acre concert bowl, festival attendees are treated to top of the line, modern facilities with running water and hot showers. Shorter lines and more personal space create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that lasts all weekend long, complimenting the natural Minnesotan hospitality. Perhaps the Minneapolis Star Tribune put it best by describing 10KLF as “filled with thousands of good vibes.”

This widespread good spirit allows 10KLF to continue supporting the community that hosts the event through the ‘Help Us Help’ campaign. Through this campaign, 10KLF will match each dollar donated by patrons when ordering tickets online. All of the proceeds go directly to worthy charities supported by the 10,000 Lakes Festival including: the Becker County Humane Society, The Rex Foundation, Conscious Alliance, Detroit Lakes Public Schools and more.

Event tickets, campground reservations and festival details are on sale now!
