It was a bright and sunny weekend on the beach. The sky was blue and the air was salty but there couldn’t have been a better place to host a festival. All the bands rocked their hearts out to the energetic crowd. Sound fun? Well it was! December 2 & 3, 2017 on the shores of Fort Lauderdale Beach in sunny South Florida at Riptide Music Festival Powered by Ford! Featuring Cage The Elephant, Weezer, KC and The Sunshine Band, Boyz II Men, Lou Gramm – Founding Member of Foreigner, Portugal. The Man, Morris Day & The Time with a Tribute to Prince, Andrew McMahon in The Wilderness, Loverboy & MORE! Over 20 bands on stage in 2 days. This festival was not to be missed and SFLOnstage was there covering it all. The music floated through the air to concert goers who were relaxed on chairs or dancing up in front of the stage. Some were sunbathing and others just smiling listening to their favorite songs. The 2-day festival was energetic and fantastic. If you can catch the Ripetide Music Festival in 2018 be sure you do! SFLOnstage highly recommends it!
