WMNF Tropical Heatwave Saturday at The Cuban Club in Ybor City
Tropical Heatwave is WMNF’s extravaganza of eclectic and exotic entertainment. WMNF 88.5, a stalwart in the Tampa community radio scene since 1979, is bringing 17 bands plus hip hop DJs to the Cuban Club in Ybor City May 4. As usual, the bands and performers represent a wide cross-section of the musical genres spinning weekly on WMNF shows.
Outside, the Cuban Club Patio will rock with great performers including Eddie 9V, Ruthie Foster, The Record Company, and the incomparable Say She She.
In the Cantina inside, there is more great music with Kristopher James Band, The Dollyrots, and more. Meanwhile, the Ballroom will be filled with EDM sounds before the incredible WAHH World Fusion Band closes down that stage. And 50 years of Hip Hop will be honored in the Theatre.
The entire program launches as the Gulfport Gecko Amalgamated Marching Band leads the procession beginning at 5:30.
