Brooklyn: The Great GoogaMooga Music Acts And Restaurants Announced
It's ba-ack! The humongous food and music festival with the funny name returns to Brooklyn's Prospect Park May 17-19. This year's Great GoogaMooga will feature 85 restaurants from all over NYC, 75 beers flowing, 100 wines pouring (sommelier on-site) and 20 bands playing...but you never know who's going to show up. Best of all, this year it's three glorious days long! We'd expect nothing less from Superfly, the events team that brought the world Bonnaroo and Outside Lands.
We hit the festival hard last year and plan to do it up again just as soon as the weather gets warm. This year's headliners are New York's own Matt & Kim, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings and De La Soul, as well as indie sensations Cults and Sharon Van Etten. And that's just the lineup from our fair city — The Flaming Lips and The Darkness as well as a dozen other bands from all over the world will be in attendance as well. Did we mention 85 restaurants are slinging food?
Now some folks had qualms with a few of the festivals hangups last year (namely, how the hell were we supposed to Instagram everything with no cell service?) but rest assured Superfly has it covered. A better signal, more vegetarian options and abundant water (plus signs to, you know, help you find the thing) are all in the works for Round 2. Hey, throwing one of these shindigs is no easy task.
