Reasons to wake up early for Ultra Weekend One
With the prospect of a long day ahead, festivals can be tempting times for ticket holders to stay in bed a little bit longer. You're missing the opening acts, but hey, at least you'll have energy for the end of the night, right? Wrong. Showing up early to festivals have led me to some of my favorite sets in memory. Lines are shorter, stages aren't as crowded, and you have the opportunity to catch some of the most promising talent of the day. Artists opening festival stages feel a lot of pressure and tend to deliver far beyond expectations. With Weekend One of Ultra fast approaching, start planning your first sets of the day.
Bonnaroo announces its 2013 lineup featuring A-Trak, Boys Noize, Wolfgang Gartner and more
The 2013 lineup for the infamous Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee has been announced and will feature a host of electronic artists including A-Trak, Boys Noize, Wolfgang Gartner, and Pretty Lights. In total, 2013's cast of producers will nearly double from the five in 2012. From Porter Robinson to Four Tet, or Araabmuzik to Paper Diamond, Coachella's less flashy cousin continues to welcome in the entire spectrum of electronica, pitting some of the genre's top producers right alongside legendary bands like Tom Petty, Radiohead and the Beach Boys.
