“We are extremely excited about this year’s lineup. Not only are we personally fans of each act coming out, but we are also lucky to call many of them friends,” said the Luck Productions team. “The Luck family is growing every year, and we are proud to announce the newest additions.”
Between sets, attendees can sip craft cocktails in the Tito’s Handmade Vodka saloon and at the event’s several bars which will also be serving Lagunitas, the official beer of Luck Reunion.
