Minitek NYC
For the electronic music lovers in the New York area, you may want to consider checking out the first ever Minitek Festival going down on September 12, 13 and 14 in NYC. The festival is focusing on innovation in both music and art. Featuring musicians and artists that are using unique techniques to change the way we experience performances and exhibitions. The tickets are only $80 for the entire weekend, and with the look of the lineup of performers that seems very reasonable. Head over the their website for more info, full lineup and tickets.
Sasquatch Music Festival: May 26-27
Honestly, what could be better than a road trip with your friends to go see some of the most amazing bands and artists in the world at a beautiful outdoor music festival? I really couldn’t think of many better ways to spend a weekend. If you agree with me you may want to consider getting some freinds together and heading to the Sasquatch Music Festival at the Gorge in George, Washington. The line-up for the 2 day festival is amazing, including Bjork, the Beastie Boys, M.I.A., Interpol, Grizzly Bear, Aquaduct, Electralane and a lot more. With a line-up like that and cheap tickets, starting at only $55, this should be a no-brainer for anyone living remotely close to Washington.
Thanks for the heads-up on this one Steph.
M3 Miami ‘06
For those of you living on the East Coast unable to make it out to California for Coachella, you may feel a little left out. Well, the answer for you is Miami’s M3 Music Festival. M3, as I see it, is in many ways better than Coachella. I used to see the M3 festival as more of an event for your typical “club-goer”, but over the years it has become more eclectic. Featuring not only DJs and electronic acts, but also hip-hop and rock such as the Strange Fruit Project and She Wants Revenge. Advantages over Coachella would be that the event lasts for not two days, but four. It takes place on a sunny beach, not a sun scorched polo field. And the real advantage being that it costs half as much, tickets are onlt $99.
Things Heat Up in Miami
With all the hype about Coachella it my have been easy to overlook a music festival that is becoming one of the biggest parties in the nation – M3, or Miami Music Multimedia. The event is has an amazing roster of artisits, and although it may not be as eclectic as Coachella’s line-up, for the $179 ticket (if purchased before March 20th) you get six days packed full of madness rather than just two. I suppose the only downfall for us westerners is the plane ticket out there, but I am sure it would be worth it.
