Playground is curated by alternative rock band Flipturn, who got their start in the local Gainesville music scene in 2016. Since then, the band has grown to international recognition, performing on legendary stages such as Red Rocks Amphitheater, and festivals like Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo.
The band works strategically with Heartwood Soundstage, Atlas, and Swamp Records (made up of UF students looking to gain experience in the music industry) to curate a lineup of musicians, visual artists, and local businesses to make this one-day festival a celebration of everything Gainesville has to offer.
This year, the lineup is made up of a mix of 10 nationally touring and local bands across 2 stages.
