Float Fest is coming up! The festival that combines everything Texans love, floating down rivers and music is finally upon us. This is such a unique festival just because you have the ability to float the river pre-festing.
Hangout Fest 2017
I’ve said before that Hangout Fest is one of my favorite festivals. I love the beach vibe, the billions of bros and scantily clad women. Okay, maybe not so much the bros, but the setting is so lovely and I LIVE for long road trips down the Gulf Coast.
Beale Street Music Festival 2017
Is there really a limit to how many times you can see MGMT, Snoop Dogg, and Wiz Khalifa? If you’re a regular attending Beale Street Music Festival, like me, the limit probably doesn’t exist.
Festival Essentials
Whether you’re heading to the beach for Hangout Fest or the campgrounds at Bonnaroo, you have to prep for festivals. Here are some of out favorite things to keep in our bags.
JMBLYA 2017
What happens when you get Migos, Lil Uzi Vert , Gucci Mane , Snow Tha Product and Chance the Rapper all in the span of 10 hours? You get JMBLYA. Pronounced just like the dish “jambalaya”, JMBLYA is just that, an eclectic hip-hop/EDM mix of musical meat and veggies that somehow tastes so good to your ears. While I have my issues with the way that some aspects of the festival played out, overall I feel satisfied. Not as full as I should have felt after I left, but satisfied. Instead of focusing solely on the musical acts of the festival, I’m going to go through some logistics and overall feel of the show.
Our Festival Fashion Favorites
Festival season is like a 4-5 month Christmas that comes every year complete with a new wardrobe, road trips, and magical moments. It is beautiful and stressful and nothing gives me more joy and panic attacks. We’ve rounded up the best festival gear from our favorite shops.
Our Entire SXSW Recap
I was so equally excited and nervous for SXSW this year. I think it is hands-down the most important music event of the year. The bands that are performing aren’t your usual festival round-makers, they’re up-and-comers, and there’s just endless possibilities to meet new people in the industry. All opportunities await!
Sound On Sound
Sound on Sound is the cool kid of the Austin festivals. If every basic you know went to ACL, you were there at Sound on Sound.
What Went Wrong With Meadows Fest
I think a better question would be what didn’t go wrong with the meadows? I mean seriously this was the worst festival I have ever been too. I will say this is the festival’s first year but they are owned by Founder’s Entertainment, the same company that also puts on The Governor’s Ball Musical Festival that was founded in 2011.
Austin City Limits 2016
This year as I overcame my constant social anxiety and journeyed to ACL, I couldn’t help but feel….frustrated. I love a good festival, I really do. This year ACL’s lineup seemed highly done before. I’ve seen most of these bands a good 4 or 5 times this year (except you Radiohead). However, the weather was nice, I had applied 10 layers of sunblock and was ready to hit the crowds.
