Festival Review
Struck At LIB (And Wanting More!)
I want to begin by saying that I work pretty much every festival (with the exception of Okeechobee and Electric Forest) because most festivals and raves are relatively the same. However, after working media at LIB and being struck by its uniqueness, I will undoubtedly be attending this festival for years to come. I’ve heard…

The last weekend in April had me shook. As many of you know, both Shaky Knees and Sweetwater 420 Fest were the same weekend in Atlanta. I had a ticket to 420 Fest but was itching to hit up Shaky Knees just to see a handful of artists including King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard…

Until Next Year High Water!
I can’t believe festivals are already underway for 2022! I kicked off my festival season with High Water, and let me tell you that this festival was definitely one for the books.

Coachella Weekend 1 Recap: Harry Styles.
Let me begin by mentioning that I (Ellie, the journalist) don’t do well in the heat. If I could opt out of being in the heat, I would take any measure within reason to avoid it. However, Coachella is the one exception. People will say what they want to say about this fancy desert festival,…

My Spooky Time at Escape Psycho Circus
Welcome back to real life! Who would’ve thought that most of us could survive EDC AND Escape Psycho Circus back to back?! There was a time when I could.

My Experience Under the Electric Sky
Man, oh, man. Now that it has been two weeks since EDC and a week since Escape, I feel that I have finally decompressed and can write about my experiences. Now to say, I think having two back-to-back festivals is a horrible, horrible idea for me. I didn’t even have enough turn-around time to recuperate…
