SunFest announces music lineup changes, two big name acts switching days
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Two of SunFest's biggest acts will be switching days for the 2023 event.
Ziggy Marley, originally scheduled to play at 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, May 6 will now be playing at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, May 7.
The Dropkick Murphys, who were supposed to play at 3:45 p.m. Sunday, May 7, will now move to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, May 6.
SunFest organizers said the changes were the result of a scheduling conflict with the bands.
Ziggy Marley is an eight-time Grammy Award winner who has cultivated a legendary career that spans nearly 40 years and is the eldest son of Bob and Rita Marley.

The Dropkick Murphys are Boston's beloved, hard-charging rock 'n' roll underdogs who can whip any crowd into a good-time frenzy with Irish-infused classics like "Going Out in Style," "The Boys Are Back," "The Dirty Glass," "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" and some covers that will blow minds like "You'll Never Walk Alone." Seriously, just try not to sing along.
The rest of the SunFest lineup remains unchanged with headliners The Chainsmokers, Jack Johnson, The Killers and Flo Rida all scheduled to perform during the three-day festival along West Palm Beach's waterfront.
Other acts that will be rocking South Florida's coolest city will be 311, All Time Low, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Allegra Miles, ALO, Anabel Englund, ARDN, Charlotte Sands, East Harbor, Fedd The God, Gatlin, GVIN, The Hip Abduction, LAYA, Leave It To Us, The Nameless, Nostaljah, PLS&TY, PRATO, RazzaMoore, Soulpax, Surfaces, Surfer Girl and Vibes Farm.
Trimmed down to only three days this year and featuring two main stages instead of three, it is a slightly leaner, but still a talent-packed and potent SunFest for 2023.
Two other trims to this year's event are the art show, where vendors could display and sell arts and crafts, and the closing fireworks. Organizers said that they are "on hold for 2023."
