He is grinning broadly, holding a microphone in his right hand while his left hand rests on his hip. He sports a high-top fade haircut, a neatly trimmed beard, and striking thick-framed white sunglasses. He is wearing a dark, shimmering long-sleeved shirt that catches the stage lights, which bathe the scene in deep purple and magenta hues. The background is softly blurred, showing the dark stage environment and the faint glow of festival lights, capturing a moment of high-energy joy and charisma. — Cimafunk plays Cuban Club in Ybor CIty, Florida on Oct. 14, 2022.

Tampa Bay is officially a month out from Gasparilla Music Festival’s grand return. As of this morning, the full daily lineup—and one killer addition to the bill—for the weekend-long shindig has been solidified.

Afro-Cuban funk wunderkind Cimafunk—who made his Tampa Bay debut at the same festival four years ago—was confirmed for a Sunday night main stage slot, just before headliner, and fellow GMF repeat offender, Gov’t Mule takes over.

The 36-year-old born Erik Alejandro Iglesias Rodríguez hissaid to be in the process of working on his fourth studio album at Miami’s legendary Criteria Studios, with a little help from Emilio Estefan. While most details about the record are still hush-hush, it’s being recorded in an all-live format, and the likes of Billboard and Rolling Stone have hyped it as one of 2026’s most highly anticipated Latin albums.

Other new additions to GMF’s daily lineup include Georgia alt-rock outfit Hotel Fiction, Lovelytheband (stylized in all-lowercase), and Texas R&B group The Suffers, which played its first Tampa Bay gig since a 2018 slot at St. Pete’s short-lived Sunshine Music Festival. And helping headliner Two Friends continue an EDM trend started at 2024’s festival will be L.A duo Forester, and Swedish producer Kasbo.

Tickets to Gasparilla Music Festival at Tampa’s Meridan Fields starting Friday, April 10 are still available and start at $55 for single-day tickets. A three-day pass is also available for $125.
