2022 LINEUP — GASPARILLA MUSIC FESTIVAL (Feb 25-27)

by Mitch Foster • December 16, 2021

Gasparilla Music Festival 2022 Lineup has officially dropped! The 11th Annual Gasparilla Music Festival is returning to Tampa Bay’s Curtis-Hixon Park for three-days on February 25-27, 2022 (TICKETS HERE). Best New Artist Grammy® Nominees, Austin, TX’s Black Pumas will be performing Friday and alternative roots rockers The Revivalists bring their iconic show to the Main Stage on Saturday night. GMF crowd favorite Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue makes their triumphant and long awaited return to the festival on Sunday.

In our festival writer, Spencer Storch’s 2021 review, he mentions, “It’s hard not to gush over the Gasparilla Music Festival.” And, I couldn’t agree more. All the years of hard work culminate to provide an exceptional guest experience for us—the fans. The sound, the beer selection, the music, the art installations, and the food… omg the food, are all top notch. Not to mention, GMF is a non-profit music festival which aims to benefit a program called Recycled Tunes. It’s their mission to get musical instruments and education into the hands and minds of Tampa Bay’s youth. They even help teachers with instrument repairs, supplies, and moral support!

ABOUT Coppertail Brewing Co.
Coppertail Brewing Co. is an independent brewery and tasting room settled in the Ybor City neighborhood in Tampa, FL. It was founded with the desire to introduce more Florida-brewed beer to the masses, with help from the sea monster that lives in Tampa Bay – Coppertail. Coppertail prides themselves on giving back to the community, having involvement with many Tampa Bay organizations, such as Walk Bike Tampa, Ybor City Development Corporation (YCDC) and Goodwill Suncoast, to name a few. The brewery came to life in 2014, with 1,000 barrels of fermentation space with tanks ranging from 30 barrels to 200 barrels. Coppertail’s core beer offerings are brewed throughout the year and each tell a different story with quality ingredients.
