Interview: Ethan Schwartz of Langerado

As many of you prepare to head down to "Hippie Spring Break," we thought we would check in again with Ethan Schwartz - one of Langerado's founders and promoters - about the move from Sunrise to Big Cypress, late-night sets, and two bands that his mom has actually heard of plus so much more...

Some Dude: Sunrise had been home to the festival for the past three years, why did you guys decide to make the move to Big Cypress? Was the switch in sites in hopes of being able to secure it for the long term, like Superfly has done with Manchester? Ethan Schwartz: We were limited to 15,000 attendees at Markham Park, and last year we reached that. We'd been in discussions with the Seminole Tribe for a few years, and last year they came out, loved what they saw, and invited us to our new home. We've got a lot of room to grow at the new site, but at our own pace. SD: What will the new site offer that you weren't able to in the past? ES: It's actually a lot easier for the attendees this year. Besides offering on-site camping for everyone, the late night shows will take place on site this year, so that will keep people from having to drive 30 minutes to downtown Ft. Lauderdale to see a late night show. Plus, there's no chance the late night shows will sell out, so no one misses anything. It's actually cheaper to attend Langerado this year, camp and do the late nights than it has been in the past. Read on for more of Some Dude's interview with Ethan Schwartz about Langerado...
