Those attendees who purchased tickets after String Cheese was announced last year, and prior to their cancellation in 2021, will receive free tickets to a Late Night Acoustic Taco Party with the band if they have tickets for this year’s festival, while other attendees this year will be offered the additional intimate experience with the band for a nominal fee if they choose to attend. The acoustic jam session will constitute a third performance essentially for The String Cheese Incident, as they plan to perform two headlining sets on the main stage Saturday.

The lineup release for the 2023 Backwoods at Mulberry Mountain Music Festival marks the 15th year anniversary for the event and the 12th festival to date. More than 25,000 people are expected to attend over the four days, with over 150 artists both visual and musical and 80 vendors.

Check out some of the last year’s silliness from the wranglers archives. Remember that wet ass pussy and The Year of the Goat. “Twas a party complete with glittery Kansas City thugs, non-stop genre crossing music, no-named goats and dick milk. This would be round the clock fun and rest and relaxation would not be allies for the foreseeable future. This was a sideways elevator if there ever was one and once again, it was time to lace up and get back into the fray.”
