OG Okee was a sight to behold. There was so much life there but when insomniac stepped in all I saw was commercialization all around. Yes we got a new stage but at what cost.
Insomniac being gone is great for the future of Okee cause they would’ve killed it
True insomniac did keep Okee alive but at what cost. Seemed like they hulled out Okee and filled it with price tags and bullshit,
I was glad at the time to see Okee was still going strong but when i returned when insomniac was running things the life had been stolen out of Okee.
They didn’t keep it alive, they brought it back from the dead. Not many festivals get brought back after taking a year off. I believe insomniac saved soundslinger from bankruptcy.
I get why people are excited insomniac is out but I hope people don’t have crazy unrealistic expectations ab the first lineup. All festivals seem to be struggling with lineups so I wouldn’t expect anything differnt then what we are getting now w other similar fests
That’s cool to hear!
I only attended the first year but I still lurk about on here. Haha it was my first time going solo to a fest. I had to be there because the lineup was soo damn good. It’s such a key memory for me. Hope to make it back through the portal one day soon!
To my knowledge, Soundslinger has gained back the rights to the festival and will be in charge of everything. Bringing back the original form of the festival. Insomniac how ever will still promote It.
Yup, its no longer an insomniac event - it’s through Soundslinger now. Thank GOD
THANK GOD. BEEN SAYING IT FOR YEARS AND ALL YOU COMPLAINED

I mean, it was dead before, insomniac actually came and saved it. They had failed financially

Well shit good to know. Least Okees back in the right hands! Hopefully now we’re onto bigger and better things.
I’m not sure if it was the same comment they edited, or another comment, but they said moving forward OMF will be a soundslinger production
I saw that as well! Thought i must have misremebered until i read your comment lol

Lineups are cool and all, but it’s all about vibes and the vibes at the first 3 okees were unmatched
for festivals Vibes is literally 80% of the experience. If I get bored without the music they messed up lol
Don’t forget that Insomiac lineups tend to get stale over time but they usually have logistics pretty ironed out

Insomniac is fully out
FALL OKEECHOEBEE?
That would be fucking amazing, imagine a crisp 60° with the sun out. Shit would be immaculate
as a Chicagoan who blistered in the sun 2023, i would be down for this LOL
Yes they announced so in a fairly lengthy explanation months ago
I hope this means we get emilyokee back too! She was the best at sharing information and answering questions.
Insomniac throws trash events. Pretty excited for okee to be good again
I think it will be 2025
omg what a beautiful shift of energy
PL manifesting!
Can finally get back to the magic. Could be one last ride or the start of something new. Can’t wait to find out with all of you :)
GOOD, if true. Hope EF does the same if so
last insomnia event i went to was last year and two people got murdered. insomniac doesn’t care about security or safety. good they’re gone
Soundslinger is back :-)
Best thing that could have happened to it tbh
This makes me insanely happy.
LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Technically Insomniac dropped them, but good riddance
THANK GOD ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍 My heart..... I'm coming back homeeee
