Earlier today we gave you extreme examples of ‘MURICA at this past weekend’s Stagecoach Music Festival. But Freedom loving country music fans we’re the only people enjoying the sweet sweet tunes of Toby Keith, Zac Brown Band and other stars. Nope, beautiful women from all across America donned their Daisy Dukes, cowboy boots and stars & stripes bikini tops in the desert sun.
This past weekend the top country music artists including Zac Brown Band and Toby Keith decended on Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA for Stagecoach Music Festival 2013 . This is the same venue that housed Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival earlier this month. At Stagecoach you can expect three things. Great music, beautiful cowgirls (more on that later today) and people fully embracing FREEDOM.
In five years since it’s inception, Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival has risen to become one of the most revered and prominent festivals in the country. The festival is known for three things: 1. World-class live music 2. Unique beauty of its Golden Gate Park surroundings 3. The best food and drink found at any festival on the globe

After a successful weekend event at MetLife Stadium last May Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) will be returning to the New York City area again in 2013. Watch a two minute recap of the 2012 event here >> EDC will bring a spectacular display of special effects, state-of-the-art lighting and sound. We’re also hoping they bring all the carnival rides again because the Zipper was arguable our favorite part of the entire weekend. “Based on the tremendous success of the first EDC New York in 2012, there was no question that Insomniac would return to the loyal fans in New York who truly enjoy the multi-sensory experience that we create,” said Insomniac CEO, Pasquale Rotella. Two-day general admission tickets will initially be priced at $159 with VIP tickets selling at $299 before service fees. We would highly recommend VIP if you can afford it because the minimum age is 21 and you don;t have to worry about teenagers hassling you to buy them beer. No word on when the tickets actually go on sale (keep following their website) but with last week’s Governor’s Ball announcement and today’s news on EDC 2013 will be a good year for music festivals in New more »
Mark your calendars. June 7-9th will bring to New York City one of the most impressive concert line-up’s in America. Just moments ago Governor’s Ball Music Festival, produced by Founders Entertainment, just announced their line-up it reads like a musical all star team. This year the Randall’s island festival will expand to three days and pre-sale tickets go on-sale on Januray 25th so get them while you can because anytime you get Kanye West and Kings of Leon on the same stage it will sell out quick.
“Burning Man festival is one of the world’s hippest and most mind-blowing gatherings. It’s not quite an art festival, not quite a desert rave, and not quite a social experiment, but something of all three.” says photographer Scott London. It is one of the coolest festivals in America and this experimental video called “A Burning Man for Ants” is a time-lapse video of Burning Man that, thanks to tilt-shift photography, gives the art event a whimsical miniature quality. The video was created by James Cole, Byron Mason & Jason Phipps.
On September 29, Neil Young (with Crazy Horse), the Foo Fighters and the Black Keys will headline the Global Citizen Festival 2012—a massive advocacy concert on Central Park’s Great Lawn. You need to be there, of course. Up until right now tickets were only available by entering the giveaway but now Urban Daddy is offering VIP tickets to Perks members so pick them up before they sell out!
In case you were busying doing other things than surfing the web this Labor Day weekend there is a chance you missed our Electric Zoo The Good, The Bad and The Ugly photo series. That’s ok. Hopefully you tried at least a few of our Hot Dog Festival recipes at your BBQ. Back to business though. You DO NOT want to miss these photos. Electric Zoo brought out some real freaks and also a ton of beautiful women is crazy EDM costumes. We compiled all the photos below along with a Spotify playlist. All I can say is there is no way I am missing Electic Zoo next year.
Electric Zoo 2012 finished strong on Sunday with performances from Tiesto, Skrillex, Zedd and several other world class DJs. The insane costumes guys and beautiful women were out in full force so take a look at what you missed below.
Yesterday we showed you the beautiful women looking good in funky neon clothes, a guy who shaved a bra into their chest hair and much more with the good, bad and ugly of Electric Zoo day one. If you’re busy with Labor Day bbq’ing and can’t make it out to the festival we’ve got you covered, here are the good, the bad and the ugly of Electric Zoo day two.
Some of the best DJs on Earth will descend on Randall’s Island this weekend for New York City’s premiere electronic dance music festival Electric Zoo. The festivities kicked off Friday night with David Guetta leading the charge on the main stage. As is with any EDM festival you have the beautiful women looking good in funky neon clothes and then you have the guys shaving bras into their chest hair. Say what you will about chest hair bra guy but I bet he is partying harder than anyone on the island and for that we say cheers. If you couldn’t make it out to day one of the festival we’ve got you covered, here are the good, the bad and the ugly of Electric Zoo day one.
Are you ready?
As the 2012 spring music festival series hits full stride we go from one end of the heat spectrum, Coachella in the dusty Palm Springs desert to the complete opposite, Snowbombing Music Festival in the snow-covered mountains of Austria. The festival saw snow bunnies and bros take the lifts up the mountain for a weekend full of great DJs, action sports and stiff drinks poured from bartenders manning bars cut right into the icy mountain. The visuals are stunning and promoters have already announced that the festival will be back in 2013.
The line-up for Lollapalooza 2012 has leaked online two days before it’s schedule April 11 release. I guess this could always be a hoax but the line-up looks pretty legit to me. Highlights include Red Hot Chili Peppers and Black Sabbath. There is also much of the same including The Black Keys who are turning out to be the go-to generic festival band of 2012.
Of all the summer music festivals to be announced in the New York City area Electric Zoo at Randall’s Island during Labor Day Weekend has to be the most anticipated. They announced the line-up and it has all the heavy hitters you would expect. 3 day passes are on sale now for $299 so obviously buy them immediately because the festival is sure to sell out and buying tickets on StubHub down the road is going to cost you an arm and a leg.
Ultra Music Festival took place in Miami two weekends ago so this is a little after the fact but we came across 48 beautiful photos from the festival that need to be shared with the world. If you considered attending Ultra but didn’t pull the trigger this may sway your decision for next year. Mark your calendar because next year’s festival takes place March 22-24, 2013.
We are entering a golden age for music festivals. This year there are incredible weekend long events popping off up and down the east coast, several within only an hour or two drive of New York City. Just today Firefly Music Festival at The Woodlands of Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware was announced and it might be the biggest and baddest of them all, that is, if you are an rock music fan. Not only are favorites The Killers, The Black Keys and Jack White headlining but the supporting acts including Death Cab, Flaming Lips, Passion Pit, Young The Giant, AWOLNATION, Grouplove, Cults, Imagine Dragons and several others are leading the ongoing alt-rock revolution. Early bird tickets for the three day festival are on sale now for $178 and camping is allowed so if you’re interested get on it now.
With Electric Zoo and Governor’s Ball coming back for another year and Bamboozle getting back to it’s roots with an all-star lineup down the shore it makes you wonder if there is there room for another summer music festival in New York City. My vote is yes and here is why. The inaugural two-day Catalpa Festival taking place on Randall’s Island, July 28th + 29th 2012. The producers of the event say, “we strive to provide not only the very best of the basic elements but also to create a visual and aesthetic overload that further enhances this already stunning setting by developing thought provoking art installations, bespoke event structures and enough unique elements to transform people out of the city and into a world more fantastic.” Sounds like East-coast Coachella, which I am all for! To continue the Coachella East theme The Black Keys and Snoop Dogg, who will be playing Doggy Style in it’s entirety, are headlining along with an impressive mixed line-up that is sure to please. Early bird tickets are on sale no for only $99.00, a steal so pick them up before they are gone.
Gloves, check. Snow boots, check. Fear of frost bite, check. Smart phone with camera, check. If you weren’t man (or woman) enough to brave the cold and attend the most unique music festival in America, the Snowball Music Festival in Vail Valley, Colorado we’ve got you covered. Here is a first hand account of the subzero temperatures and the musicians, snow bunnies and impromptu dance parties that thawed everyone out.
