01-31-2024

(Giant Noise) Young The Giant, Midland, Shakey Graves, and Cory Wong have been announced as the headliners of the inaugural Landlock Festival, taking place May 3-5 at Waco Surf in Waco, TX.

Presented by Noise Frontier, co-founders of the iconic Luck Reunion and Waco Surf, the premier artificial wave and water park in Waco, TX, Landlock Festival will offer attendees a one-of-a-kind three day experience celebrating music and surf culture, all in an intimate setting.

Three Day General Admission Passes ($350+ fees), Three Day Premium Passes ($750+ fees), along with unique experience and accommodation packages are available beginning Thursday, February 1 at 11AM CST at www.landlockfest.com.

The incredible weekend will bring music and surf enthusiasts alike for world-class performances from over 20 artists across three stages, including Cannons, Arcy Drive, Colony House, The Inkcaps, Jupiter & Okwess, LA LOM, Lily Meola, Pachyman, Matthew Logan Vasquez, Durry, The McCharmlys, and The Nude Party, professional surf competitions from some of the biggest names in surf, destination-inspired culinary offerings alongside notable chefs, mixology activations, unique retail experiences and much more.

Landlock Festival unites both surf and inland American culture by offering live music and beachside experiences that are uniquely Texan. "We're excited to bring Landlock Fest to life at Waco Surf, which has already cemented itself as a mainstay in both Texas and the greater surf community, and celebrate this unique intersection of culture," says Matthew Bizer, Landlock Festival partner and co-founder of Luck Reunion. "Surf isn't necessarily the first thought people associate with Texas, but it's felt across the state and not just along the coast. There was no better place for Landlock Festival to call home than Waco Surf."

Pro surfers from across the country will battle it out with various contest formats throughout the weekend at one of the most prestigious artificial waves today. Ivy Miller, Matt Meola, Balaram Stack, Cam Richards, Eithan Osborne, Brianna Cope, Albee Layer, Emma Stone, and more will join the inaugural surf lineup. Additional surf details to follow.
