Wahoo Music Festival plans its debut in Jupiter Florida

February 28, 2026 marks the debut of the Wahoo Music Festival — a one-day celebration set to transform the scenic Abacoa Amphitheater in Jupiter, Florida into a hot-bed of soulful songwriting and rising-star energy.

Founded by veteran talent-managers Noah Schwartz and Perry Avgerinos under their banner Sheesh Management, Wahoo isn’t just a concert — it’s a mission. The festival aims to elevate emerging artists, inject new energy into Florida’s music circuit, and channel proceeds toward cancer-research initiatives, honoring Schwartz’s own journey as a cancer survivor.

As Schwartz explains, Wahoo is “more than just a festival — it’s about connection, discovery, and giving back.” Avgerinos adds the event is designed to overcome Florida’s geographic touring barriers, offering a rare chance for indie and soul artists to reach fans across the peninsula without chasing multiple markets.

With a capacity of roughly 3,000, Abacoa Amphitheater promises a close-knit, community-driven vibe. The festival blends genres and atmospheres, spotlighting up-and-coming country, folk, and singer-songwriters alongside more established soul and roots acts.

On the bill so far: St. Paul & The Broken Bones and Josh Meloy headline, delivering soul-fuelled crescendos and stirring Americana. Supporting acts include Zinadelphia, Nick Folwarczny, Brady Brazeal, and Andrew Martinez — a lineup that leans into intimacy, storytelling, and raw emotion.

For Jupiter and the broader South Florida region, Wahoo could become a new tradition — one that blends beach-state ease with the kind of passionate performances usually reserved for major cities.

Tickets for the first-ever Wahoo Music Festival are on sale now, and additional info — from lodging suggestions to philanthropic partners — will roll out in coming weeks.
