Treasure Island Music Festival (TIMF) is excited to reveal today the daily set times and full performance schedule, the lineup of TIMF night shows and information regarding shuttles and transportation. Single day GA and VIP tickets are on sale now at www.TreasureIslandFestival.com, along with 2-day GA and VIP tickets.

TIMF will return after a year-long hiatus for its 11th edition with a weekend full of music and entertainment on October 13-14 in a new location and home for the future — Middle Harbor Shoreline Park (MHSP) — located just minutes west of downtown Oakland, California. The new location will continue to provide festival goers access to one of the most unique festival backdrops in the world, offering panoramic views of the Bay, downtown San Francisco and the Bay Bridge. Attendees will also enjoy an ever-changing, diverse mix of interactive art installations, roaming performers, and some of the best cuisine in the Bay Area.

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE

In an effort to continue the unique format the festival first created and has embraced since inception, as well as one that TIMF attendees have grown to love, the festival will again feature more hip-hop, electronic, dance and high-energy acts to kick off day 1 on Saturday with artists A$AP Rocky, Silk City (Diplo + Mark Ronson), Santigold, Pusha T and more. Day 2 on Sunday will close out the festival with a more laid-back vibe with a focus on rock and indie performers like Tame Impala, Lord Huron and Courtney Barnett. Both days will feature non-overlapping sets on the festival’s two stages — aptly named The Town and The City — ensuring fans can enjoy every moment of every performance.

The 2018 full performance schedule is listed below by day and stage. All performances are subject to change. Festival gates and box office open daily at 11:00 a.m. (PT), with music kicking off shortly after at 12 noon each day. To view the complete schedule, please visit www.TreasureIslandFestival.com.

Noise Pop Festival, the San Francisco Bay Area’s premiere indie music and arts festival, is excited to announce the first wave of artists scheduled to perform at the 27th annual festival, which is set to return to the Bay February 25 – March 3, 2019. Early Bird and Super Fan badges go on sale today, Wednesday, October 24 at 10 a.m. PT, although fans are encouraged to act fast as supply is limited and pricing will increase as the festival approaches and more is announced. Individual tickets to these artists just announced will go on sale at 10 a.m. PT this Friday, October 26. Noise Pop is also excited to announce the addition of a Super Fam badge – 2 premium Super Fan badges – which for the first time in festival history will allow any Super Fam badge holder the freedom to switch out their +1s. Previously each badge holder could be the only registered owner. Both badges and tickets can be purchased at www.noisepopfest.com.

Noise Pop Festival is an annual celebration of independent culture in the Bay Area, which over the course of a week, from Monday, February 25 to Sunday, March 3rd, transforms the Bay Area into festival grounds with multiple events taking place across the city each night. As with last year, access to film screenings and film events will also be included with the general Noise Pop badge, which in previous years had required a separate badge or tickets. This additional perk allows badge-holders to get more out of their festival experience than ever before.

The first round of music artists confirmed to perform at Noise Pop 2019 includes Beirut, who have announced their fifth LP, Gallipoli, to be released February 1st; legendary guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Bob Mould, previously of Hüsker Dü and Sugar; beloved Scottish rock band Teenage Fanclub, who have been going strong since their debut album in 1990; and singer-songwriter Caroline Rose, who released her latest album, Loner, earlier this year. Also announced today is guitarist, singer and songwriter and member of The Strokes Albert Hammond Jr., who released his fourth solo album this past March; Jason Lytle, who is known as a singer-songwriter for the band Grandaddy in addition to his work as a solo artist; California electronic musician Baths; and many more.

Although the full music lineup will be announced in waves between now and February, the first phase of music acts confirmed to perform at the 2019 festival can be found below.

 All badges grant access to all general admission (non-seated) music concerts, badge-only happy hours, NPHQ and some very special events soon to be announced. Badges are non-transferrable with age-restrictions for some events, and badge-holders must arrive within 60 minutesafter club door times to guarantee entrance. All badge-holders will also have access to any film screenings and film-related events throughout the weeklong festival.

In addition, a limited number of Super Fan badges are on sale as of today for $399, a price that will remain the same until they are sold out. The newly announced Super Fam (+1) badge will also go on sale today for $850. Super badge-holders will experience the true red carpet treatment at the festival, where they receive guaranteed entry to all festival events, a special merch package, complimentary drink tickets to select events, and a personal Noise Pop concierge available for assistance throughout the weeklong festival. For any badge related questions, contact Noise Pop directly at [email protected].

Tickets to individual festival performances from these artists just announced will go on sale this Friday, October 26 at 10 a.m. PT. Noise Pop Festival badge-holders will once again have the option of a specialized waitlist-service for sold-out shows in case they were unable to purchase tickets in time.

Additionally, Noise Pop Festival is proud to announce that artist Kristin Farr will create the official artwork for this year’s festival.

Last year’s Noise Pop saw the festival’s highest attendance to date, hosting over 30,000 attendees during the week-long celebration of music, film, art and culture. The festival sold more tickets than any other year to date and sold out of all badges in advance. The 2018 festival played host to 180+ music artists across more than 25 Bay Area venues, with events including concerts, film screenings, art shows and more.

Stay tuned as additional music acts, as well as the film, art and event lineup will be announced in the months ahead.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and Brandi Carlile will headline the 2019 Old Settler’s Music Festival, the festival announced today, with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit performing an intimate acoustic set.  Central Texas’s only spring festival offering bluegrass, folk, and Americana performers on three stages over four days, Old Settler’s Music Festival has released the first glimpse of the 2019 lineup, slated for April 11-14 in Tilmon, TX.  Early Bird tickets to the festival have already sold out, and advance tickets are available now at www.oldsettlersmusicfest.org.

2019 will mark the festival’s second year in its new home of Tilmon, Southeast of Lockhart, TX, and conveniently located less than an hour from Austin and San Antonio, and approximately two hours from Houston.  

Four-time Grammy Award winner Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile lead the 2019 bill, with support acts ranging from bluegrass icons the Del McCoury Band and Texas supergroup “Los Legends” featuring Flaco Jimenez, Augie Meyers, Rick Trevino, Y Amigos, to up-and-comers like 2017 Americana Music Emerging Artist of the Year Award-winner Amanda Shires.  

Old Settler’s Music Festival has made a name for itself as a discovery ground for future roots, Americana, and folk artists:  Texas’s own Shakey Graves got his name at the festival, and festival alumni include this year’s headliner Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Allison Krauss, Lake Street Dive, and many more.  

Longtime festival favorites Shinyribs will return to Old Settler’s in 2019 to play two shows, and other performers include Galactic, Hayes Carll, Wild Child, Penny and Sparrow, Mandolin Orange, The Steeldrivers, the James Hunter Six, Robert Ellis, Paul Thorn, John Moreland, Paul Cauthen, The Last Bandoleros, Sarah Grace & The Soul, Wood & Wire, Ben Hunter & Joe Seamons, Jeff Plankenhorn, and Feeding Leroy.  Additional artists will be announced soon.

In 2019, the festival will collaborate with independent Texas concert promoter Kessler Presents for the first time.  With historic venues like The Kessler Theater (Dallas) and The Heights Theater (Houston), Kessler Presents has built a reputation for curated live music in unique environments.

Old Settler’s Music Festival Executive Director Jean Spivey said of the collaboration, “Old Settler’s chose to collaborate with Kessler Presents because they fully understand what makes our festival such an incredible experience. Their excellent reputation not only in Texas, but nationally allows us to reach a level in terms of artists and festival growth we never thought possible.  With our new location, we have the space and ability to grow our family of regular and new Old Settler’s attendees and campers for 2019 and beyond.”

“Old Settler’s has always been my favorite Texas music festival,” said Kessler Presents owner Edwin Cabaniss.  “Through its 31 years it has become a community of real music fans seeking discovery and authentic performances presented with the best of Texas hospitality.  Like all of Kessler Presents’ projects, we want to preserve the history and culture that makes the experience so special, while also helping take the festival to the next level.”

With a diverse group of activities for all festival-goers, Old Settler’s Music Festival will again offer camping (which often includes impromptu jam sessions); Camp ShhhTimes, a completely unplugged late night listening area; a youth talent competition; a juried arts and crafts fair; and many kid-friendly activities.

Noise Pop Festival, the San Francisco Bay Area’s premiere indie music and arts festival, is revealing today the second wave of music acts confirmed to perform at the 27th annual celebration of independent culture, music, art and film set to return to the SF Bay Area on February 25 – March 3, 2019. General Admission, Super Fan, and Super Fam badges are on sale now at www.noisepopfest.com, in addition to tickets for individual shows including each of the newly announced acts.  

The initial wave of music announced for Noise Pop 2019 includes a great mix of established and exciting up-and-coming music acts like Beirut, Bob Mould, Teenage Fanclub, Caroline Rose, Albert Hammond Jr, Jason Lytle, Baths, and many more. And this new round of Phase 2 artists released today continues this selective curation with more than 30 performers hailing from around the country and internationally.

Phase 2 includes New York-based rapper Princess Nokia, who released her last project, an emo-inspired mixtape called A Girl Cried Red, this past April, and French DJ and music producer Petit Biscuit, who continues to perform in support of the smash hit “Sunset Lover” from his 2017 debut, Presence. Petit Biscuit’s performance at the festival will include a 6-piece live band and will mark one of his only shows currently scheduled for all of next year.

British producer and songwriter Tourist, who has sparked buzz for his songwriting/producing credits for notable UK acts Sam Smith, Jessie Ware & Låpsley; 2000s blog-haus singer/rapper Uffie, who has begun this year releasing a variety of new music after a seven-year hiatus and whose festival performance will mark her first SF Bay Area headlining show since 2006; and Canadian indie electro-pop band Men I Trust will help round out the Phase 2 music lineup.

Other notable new acts include Daughters; Darlingside; Yves Tumor, who just released this fall the critically acclaimed album Safe in the Hands of Love; and The Marías, founded in 2016 as the psychedelic-soul lovechild of LA native Josh Conway and Puerto Rican-bred María; among others. There are also several Phase 2 acts who are making their Bay Area debut performances at Noise Pop Festival 2019, including Chynna, Hana Vu, Partner, Ouri, and MNEK, an acclaimed London-based singer/producer whose writing and production credits include work for superstars like Beyoncé, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Dua Lipa, and Diplo.

Noise Pop is also launching today a special contest in partnership with DoTheBay that offers two lucky Bay Area musicians the opportunity to perform at the 2019 festival. Local music acts are encouraged to visit dothebay.com/p/play-noise-pop-festival-2019-contest and submit their best tracks for consideration, beginning today. Once submitted, the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorites until 11:59PM on February 5, 2019. From there, the Noise Pop booking team will pick on February 8 two Bay Area acts to perform at this year’s fest.

The full music lineup will be announced in waves between now and the festival in February, with the next batch of music acts being announced in early 2019. The most current music lineup can be found below.

Lights All Night, the longest running end of the year party, is excited to officially reveal a new partnership with DreamHack. DreamHack is the world's largest computer gaming and lifestyle festival, and will soon offer a video game experience and lounge onsite at this year’s Lights All Night, which is returning to Dallas Market Hall in Dallas, Texas on December 28 and 29 of New Year’s Eve weekend. Tickets are on sale now at www.lightsallnight.com.

In a continued effort by the Lights All Night team to elevate the onsite experience for all festival-goers, the festival has secured a new partnership with DreamHack, the world's biggest gaming lifestyle festival known for hosting popular esports and computer lifestyle festival events around the globe and commonly referred to as the “Coachella of gaming”. This is the first partnership of its kind for DreamHack, marking one of the first major endeavors to provide esports entertainment outside of a computer gaming-driven event as well as at a major music festival.

At LAN 2018, DreamHack will be bringing a 50-person freeplay zone featuring an extensive variety of today’s top video games, including popular titles like Fortnite, Rocket League, PUBG, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and many others. Both GA and VIP festival attendees are encouraged to participate in the FREE activation, which will be open throughout festival hours and will be housed in a dedicated second-floor lounge providing an expansive 180-degree view of the Supernova main stage.

“I couldn’t be more excited about the partnership with DreamHack and all of the esports offerings at this year’s fest,” said Scott Osburn, Lights All Night Co-founder and Executive Producer. “This only continues to elevate the onsite experience for all festival-goers, and it really will be the cherry on top in making this year the best Lights All Night we have ever created. I’m hopeful that these additions will not only be a new thrill for our returning fans but also bring an entirely new audience into the Lights All Night festival family.”

This news also corresponds with the announcement that the first-ever DreamHack Dallas will take place from May 31 to June 2, 2019, at Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in downtown Dallas, Texas with various ticket packages on sale today at www.dreamhack.com/dallas. Lights All Night attendees will have access to a special code for 20% off tickets to DreamHack Dallas, which will be emailed to all ticket-buyers shortly after the year-end event. DreamHack Dallas 2019 will feature all the core content of a DreamHack festival, such as the BYOC LAN, esports tournaments, cosplay, live music, an expo area and much more. Plus, the 2019 event will include CORSAIR DreamHack Masters, which will bring together 16 of the best teams in the game "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" for a large-scale arena tournament, with a $250,000 prize pool.

DreamHack Dallas 2019 will mark one of only two events in the United States in 2019, and the only in Texas. This will also be the first time DreamHack has hosted an event in Dallas after outgrowing the original Texas location in Austin after three successful years. DreamHack Dallas will also mark the first-ever combination of DreamHack and DreamHack Masters at one of their signature festival events.

“As we debut our gaming lifestyle festival and esports arena event in Dallas in May, there’s no better way to start embracing the community than partnering with Lights All Night, said Justin Burnham, Global Creative Director at DreamHack. “The spirit of their event bringing people together to celebrate music is one we admire and practice ourselves. We look forward to further developing this relationship through the years and helping them make Dallas even more of an awesome destination point.”

Since its inception in 2010, LAN has sought to bring attendees a festival experience unlike any other, featuring a highly curated selection of the world’s most sought-after electronic, dance, and hip-hop music acts with FOMO-inducing performances and larger-than-life production for a truly memorable event to celebrate the end of every year and welcome the new year to come. This year’s event will once again return to Dallas Market Hall, located just minutes from downtown Dallas, after first playing host to LAN in 2015. After a successful and well-received update to the festival layout last year, the event site in Dallas Market Hall will expand once again to now feature five stages total, including the return of the fan-favorite silent disco.

Attendees on Day 1 will experience headlining sets from Diplo; Kaskade; and Rezz; along with 1788-L; Anti Up (feat. Chris Lake and Chris Lorenzo); CharlestheFirst; Chee; Digital Ethos; Jai Wolf; Lick; Mr. Carmack; Nora En Pure; and Oliver Tree, among others. The acts closing out the year-end festivities on Saturday for Day 2 will include Tiësto; Excision; and Atlanta’s most beloved trap-rapper Gucci Mane; in addition to Carlyle; CHUURCH; Ekali; Funtcase; Grensta; Eprom B2B (back-to-back) Bleep Bloop; and more.

In total, more than 40 music acts from across Texas and around the globe are set to perform at this year’s ninth annual event, which will feature two main stages (Supernova and Intergalactic), and three additional stages (Planet Prime, Galaxy Disco, Space Station).

Neon Desert will also bring to West Texas some of the biggest artists in Latin music today, which include Latin Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter Kali Uchis, whose debut studio album, Isolation, was released last year to widespread acclaim; Puerto Rican reggaetón artist Don Omar, who is oft-labeled as the “King of Kings of Reggaetón Music”; LA-based psychedelic, soul, funk, tropicalia band Chicano Batman; and Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter Ximena Sariñana, who previously performed at Neon Desert in 2015.

Float Fest, the only festival in the world to combine the Texas tradition of floating the river and live music, will offer attendees a highly curated mix of alternative, rap, indie rock, and EDM performers. Float Fest will be hosted in a new venue at Gonzales, TX, with two main stages and offer fans a chance to catch every moment of main stage action with non-overlapping sets.

Other artists include Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Grouplove, Big Boi, Jungle, St. Lucia, Houndmouth, G Love & Special Sauce, Missio, The Floozies, Goldfish, Sego, and Cowboy Diplomacy.

“We’re excited to bring back Float Fest for its sixth year and host some of the nation’s most talented artists to produce a unique experience in Gonzales,” said Marcus Federman, founder of Float Fest. “We’re thrilled to be moving to a new city and keep the tradition of our fest going. Gonzales is known as the birthplace of Texas independence and we can't think of a better place to celebrate a festival rich in Texas traditions such as live music, floating the river, and camping.”  

Gates to float the river will open at 8 a.m. and tubing tickets can be purchased separately online (you must have a concert ticket to float the river). Held on the sprawling Guadalupe River on a private ranch (2855 South US Highway 183. Gonzales, TX 78629) the festival grounds are quintessential to Central Texas. The festival features ample on-site parking and immediate access to the Guadalupe River. Float Fest will also have over 35 local unique food vendors for attendees to enjoy – stay tuned for more details.

Float Fest will still include all the amenities of floating the river, camping, and live music, with the property being three times larger than past festivals. With river access to float being on-site at this year’s festival, no more shuttles are needed, which means immediate access to the water upon arrival. The campgrounds are on a pecan orchard, with beautiful 200+ year old trees that provides tons of shade right by the Guadalupe River as well as larger camping sites with 20x20 spaces available. The festival also includes Improved traffic flow with multiple exit points.

Lockers for storage

And more!

Each year, Float Fest also organizes a river cleanup project, Keep the River Clean, through partnerships with local businesses. Float Fest cleanup efforts include mesh biodegradable trash bags available for free with tubes for floating, River Wranglers on canoes to help take trash bags, trash receptacles available after tubing at shuttle pick up stations, and the Float Fest crew cleaning up the river before, during, and after the festival with divers and boats to ensure a safe and clean zone.

“Floating the beautiful river is a Texas tradition that we’d like to keep, but with respect. Festival-goers will be able to enjoy in doing so while listening to their favorite artists,” explained Federman. “Each year, we work hard in maintaining the river clean by offering resources for visitors like providing biodegradable bags for disposal items, having our team out there collecting items from floaters, and having divers do a deep cleaning after the fest. We partner with local community members that share our same vision.”

Lights All Night, one of the longest running end-of-the-year parties in Dallas and across the country, is excited to officially announce the music lineup for the 10th annual music festival returning to Dallas Market Hall near downtown Dallas, Texas on Friday and Saturday, December 27 and 28 of New Year’s Eve weekend. Two-day GA tickets, as well as various VIP packages are on sale this Thursday, August 22 at www.lightsallnight.com.

MUSIC LINEUP:

To help celebrate the milestone anniversary, Lights All Night (LAN) will look to welcome to its stages some of the world’s most sought-after dance and electronic music acts - several of whom are repeat performers and festival alumni - for a truly memorable year-end celebration to help close out 2019. On Day 1, LAN will play host to perennial chart-topping producer Skrillex, who continues to tease new music as a solo performer, in addition to new projects from his collaborative side projects with Diplo and Boyz Noise, who he joins to form Jack U and Dog Blood, respectively. Just this summer, the producer has also released a wave of new music featuring artists like Ed Sheeran, Ty Dolla $ign, Lykke Li, and TroyBoi, among others, with more likely soon to come. Also hitting the stage will include critically-acclaimed and 2019 GRAMMY Awards nominee DJ Porter Robinson’s side project and alter-ego, Virtual Self, an homage to the 90s and 2000s-style electronic music that inspired Robinson to first produce music, while he also continues to tease new music as a followup to his alias’ self-titled debut project in 2017.

Festival alumni and oft-labeled “Godfather of bass music” Bassnectar will take the stage to headline and close-out the festival on Saturday, December 28 after just releasing Part 4 of the Reflective EP series this past spring. Also set to headline Day 2 includes Chicago-based DJ and production duo Louis The Child, who continue to prep for the release of their long-awaited debut album and who most recently partnered with X Games to create the event’s official new anthem, "Big Time".

Other notable performers currently announced includes Austin’s own DJ duo Tritonal, considered by many to one of the biggest DJ acts to ever hail from the state of Texas and who just released their third studio album U & Me this June; UK-born dubstep producer Zomboy; Las Vegas-based electro-house DJ 3LAU; and up-and-coming DJ/producer Slushii, who just released his third album Dream this past December; as well as Kayzo; San Holo; Herobust; Elephante and more.

 EXPERIENCE, LOCATION & LAYOUT:

Since its inception in 2010, LAN has sought to bring attendees a festival experience unlike any other, featuring a highly curated selection of the world’s most sought-after electronic, dance, pop and hip-hop music acts. With FOMO-inducing performances and larger-than-life production, Lights All Night has become one of the country’s premier year-end celebrations to welcome the year to come with over 500 music performers and 300,000 guests having attended the music festival since inception in 2010.

LAN celebrated its ninth year last NYE weekend with a fourth consecutive year at Dallas Market Hall and more than 30,000 fans in attendance at the two-day sold-out event in Dallas. In 2018, LAN once again offered festival-goers of all ages access to some of today’s top electronic and hip-hop acts across the globe, including Kaskade, Tiësto, Diplo, Gucci Mane, Rezz, Excision and more.

Having played home to Lights All Night since 2015, Lights All Night is excited to once again return for a fifth year to Dallas Market Hall, located just minutes from downtown Dallas, Texas. This year’s event will see the return of the festival’s two main stages, which will continue to provide fans with countless awe-inspiring moments as the Supernova stage features a world-class LED screen production spanning the size of a football field and the Intergalactic stage designed to mirror a European-style and intimate club environment, in addition to the return of the fan-favorite Silent Disco (Disco Galaxy).

The festival’s two other stages are being transformed into hyper-intimate outdoor themed stages being taken over by some of today’s top dance music record labels and collectives including the Night Bass Takeover featuring Night Bass Records, which was founded by 2019 performer and returning Lights All Night act AC Slater as he looks to shed a light on under-represented acts in the UK Garage, Grime and House sub-genres. The second special stage takeover features GRVDNCR, a Brooklyn based artist management company founded by Eric Silver from noted electronic music label System Recordings.

Several upgrades made last year will return including a massive outdoor area featuring fire pits and some of the best local food trucks in the DFW area, as well as multiple free water stations throughout the mixed-indoor/outdoor facility. More details regarding Lights All Night ever-evolving layout and design, including information surrounding art installations and stage production, will be revealed closer to the festival dates.

Two-day GA and VIP tickets will soon be available for sale this Thursday, August 22 at www.lightsallnight.com.

Indie folk band The Head and the Heart and soul octet St. Paul & The Broken Bones will headline the 2020 Old Settler’s Music Festival. Friday night will also feature country music icon Tanya Tucker ahead of St. Paul & The Broken Bones.  Tucker’s latest album, While I’m Living, received four Grammy nominations last month and was produced by last year’s Old Settler’s headliner, Brandi Carlile, and Shooter Jennings.  A partial lineup by day is included below.

Central Texas’s only spring festival offering bluegrass, folk, and Americana performers on four stages over four days, Old Settler’s Music Festival has unveiled much of its 2020 lineup slated for Thursday-Sunday, April 16-19 in Tilmon, TX, less than an hour from Austin and San Antonio and two hours from Houston. A limited amount of discounted Early Bird tickets are still available now via https://oldsettlersmusicfest.org.

2020 marks the festival’s third year in Tilmon, the fourth home of the 33-year-old festival.  Ranked in the top 5 by USA Today’s “10 Best Music Festivals in North America,” Old Settler’s has spent decades cultivating a vibe and experience that sets it apart from its festival contemporaries. “Old Settler’s Music Festival isn’t your typical music festival,” said country music site The Boot last year. “The festival’s laid-back, chill vibe draws three generations to its spacious, 145-acre site of rolling meadows and shady areas.”

Other artists announced today as part of the 2020 lineup include Southern soul-rock band J.J. Grey & Mofro, Father of Newgrass Sam Bush, UK indie pop darling Jade Bird, recently Grammy-nominated traditional bluegrass band Po’ Ramblin’ Boys, festival favorites Shinyribs, and Grammy-winning, bluegrass mainstays The Travelin’ McCourys.  A list of artists is below and more will be announced soon.

With a reputation as the ultimate music-lovers’ festival, Old Settler’s Music Festival has traditionally been a discovery ground for the future of Americana and roots music. Past performers who appeared early in their careers included Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, who returned last year to headline; Alison Krauss; Billy Strings; Trampled by Turtles; and Patty Griffin, who also returned in 2010 to headline.

This year, in line with the non-profit festival’s mission to honor and sustain Texas’s musical roots, The House of Songs will hold a songwriters’ camp the week prior to the Festival, giving songwriters from around the globe an opportunity to partner with Texas artists. The participants will showcase their collaborations on the final day of the festival. The Festival’s Youth Talent Competition returns for its 18th year; in 2002, Sarah Jarosz, now a multiple Grammy-winning artist, won the inaugural competition. Entries are open now here. For more information on both, visit the festival’s site.

With a diverse group of activities for all festival-goers, Old Settler’s Music Festival offers camping, including glamping packages (details to be announced soon), an unplugged late night show, a juried arts and crafts fair, a wide selection of gourmet food and craft beer, and many kid-friendly activities.

Noise Pop Festival is excited to unveil the third wave of artists being added to the 2020 lineup for the annual indie music and arts festival returning to San Francisco's Bay Area February 24 – March 1. Tickets to newly announced shows will be available for purchase at www.noisepopfest.com beginning this Friday, December 13 at 10:00 a.m. PT, although previously announced individual shows, as well as GA, Super Fan, Super Fam, and Student badges are currently on sale now. 

The new wave of 25+ music artists being announced to perform at the 2020 festival includes San Jose's own indie and space-rock pioneers Duster, who are releasing their third self-titled studio album next week on December 13 after a 19-year hiatus since 2000; San Francisco-based indie pop foursome Imperial Teen, who just released their sixth studio album Now We Are Timeless this past July after a seven-year hiatus from recording music and who might be best known for their live performances in which all four members switch off between instruments; rapper/singer Kilo Kish, who just released her highly-anticipated project Redux EP this December; and indie-pop/folk act Florist, the project of Emily Sprague, who released her third studio album Emily Alone this past July to rave reviews including being named "Best New Music" by Pitchfork.

Other notable performers recently added to the 2020 lineup includes solo artist and guitarist in the popular California group Bane's World Michael Seyer; up-and-coming Australian-based indie-rock duo Good Morning, who released two albums this past year; and alt-rock band from southern California The Red Pears; among many others. In total, over 20 new acts were added to the 2020 lineup with the Phase 3 reveal.

Noise Pop Festival 2020 is also excited to announce it will for the first time ever host a special four-night series at SFJAZZ Center's Joe Henderson Lab featuring Chicago-based jazz-fusion collective Resavoir, who will be making their Bay Area debut; Bay Area-based producer and recent signee to Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder record label Salami Rose Joe Louis, who just released her latest album Zdenka 2080 this past August; an all black female six member music ensemble The Onyx, who just released their self-titled debut EP project earlier this year; and acoustic SF-Based international septet Barrio Manouche – each of whom transcends genre lines by blending elements of jazz, R&B, electronic, and world sounds.

The new additions to the festival lineup join the first and second wave of artists previously announced, which include Grammy Award winner Raphael Saadiq; internationally renowned DJ and producer Maya Jane Coles;    LA rock duo Best Coast; Latinx avant-pop artist Helado Negro; the electronic jazz of Shigeto Live Ensemble; activist and poet Jamila Woods; Arizona hip-hop trio Injury Reserve; Australian electronic duo Bag Raiders; indie-pop group Lower Dens; and more than 50+ other performers from across the country and beyond.

"This year’s music lineup is reflective of our mission to support independent music, regardless of genre and geographical borders. This year we're proud to present a diverse, eclectic lineup of artists, many who have Bay Area roots, including Raphael Saadiq, Duster, Imperial Teen, Salami Rose Joe Louis, and so many more from across numerous genres,” said Niki Bodemann, Noise Pop Talent Buyer.

“Beyond all of the local talent, we’re also very proud to host a handful of talented acts making their Bay Area debuts, including Resavoir, the Chicago-based jazz collective founded by Whitney’s Will Miller; Canadian Polaris Music Prize 2019 winner Haviah Mighty; Nashville-based R&B musician Bren Joy; Atlanta rapper Tony Velour; and Brooklyn indie-rock outfit Pom Pom Squad. Our strong belief is that Noise Pop Festival will be the last time fans will get to see these up-and-coming acts in small clubs,” said James Lopez, Noise Pop Talent Buyer.

The final lineup additions of national music acts will be announced in mid-January, with the full slate of local SF-based acts being announced shortly thereafter. The most current lineup can be found listed below and online at noisepopfest.com:

Fortress Festival is proud to unveil the full music lineup for the fourth annual music festival, which is set to return to Fort Worth’s iconic Cultural District on Saturday and Sunday, April 25-26 after a successful sold-out weekend event last spring. Weekend GA and VIP passes are available now for purchase at fortressfestival.com.

In partnership with the internationally acclaimed Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Fortress Festival will again offer music lovers from North Texas and across the country a boutique multi-genre festival experience celebrating acclaimed music acts and international art. This year’s festival will offer festival-goers its most diverse lineup yet, including several Hispanic artists of international fame in its tradition of offering a variety of today’s most sought-after music acts.

Grammy Award-winning DJ and record producer Diplo will help to headline this year’s event. In the past year alone, the perennial chart-topping producer released his own four-track EP, Higher Ground, as well as a special collaborative project with Labrinth and Sia, LSD, in addition to receiving the 2019 Grammy Award for “Best Electronic Dance Recording” for his work with Mark Ronson—all while he continues to prepare for the upcoming release of Major Lazer’s fifth and reportedly final album, along with a new solo album and highly anticipated follow-up project with Jack U-collaborator Skrillex.

Fortress Festival will also welcome a variety of acts with strong ties to Latin America, including 2020 headliners, like R&B singer/songwriter Miguel, who will perform in support of his latest projects, including his first-ever Spanish-language EP, Te Lo Dije, which was released last April, and War & Leisure, which was nominated for “Best Urban Contemporary Album” at the 2019 Grammy Awards; and singer-songwriter Cuco, who just released his critically-acclaimed debut album, Para Mi, this past July, further solidifying him as one of today's top up-and-coming national performers.

Other notable worldly and Latin-influenced artists in this year’s lineup include Mexican-American rapper Snow Tha Product, who has strong ties to Fort Worth having lived in the city for several years; and Combo Chimbita, a quartet of first-generation, New York-based musicians with Colombian ties who just released their sophomore project, Ahomale, this past May, featuring their unique blend of psychedelic and futuristic sounds with funk and soul.

Additional notable performers set to take the main stages include Mississippi-native and critically-acclaimed emcee Big K.R.I.T., who released his latest studio album, K.R.I.T. IZ HERE, this past summer; Dallas’s own rising star, 18-year-old Kaash Paige, who recently signed to the iconic Def Jam record label and released a new EP, Parked Car Convos, which fuses elements of trap and R&B; celebrated singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten, who released her fifth studio album, Remind Me Tomorrow, last January; London-based trio Kero Kero Bonito, who look to offer festival-goers their unique indie rock sound that also features singing and rapping in both Japanese and English; R&B/soul outfit The Free Nationals, who might be best known for their work alongside Anderson .Paak and just released their long-awaited debut self-titled album this December to rave reviews from fans and critics alike, and Brooklyn-based indie-pop band Wet.

Similar to years past, the festival will also be playing host to a variety of acts from the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area to help showcase North Texas’ incredible and diverse musical talents. Notable D/FW performers include post-punk band Rosegarden Funeral Party; electro-pop duo Prizm; singer/song Tippy Balady; indie-pop singer Remy Reilly; high-energy jazz fusion group Kwinton Gray Project; and Son of Stan, a pop-rock project from Jordan Richardson, who won a Grammy Award for his previous work with Ben Harper’s Relentless7. Plus, there is a healthy mix of top local rappers set to perform, including Rakim Al-Jabbaar (Dallas), who just released his last album, Underground God, this past fall; Renizance (Ft. Worth), best known as the founder of the underground rap collective Immortal Soldierz; and the oft-labeled “godfather of Fort Worth hip-hop,” Smoothvega (Ft. Worth).

We are incredibly saddened to share that Old Settler's Music Festival will be postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. Caldwell County officials have made the tough but right decision to prohibit public gatherings of over 500 people at this time in order to protect the health of its citizens which means that we must postpone the festival. The well-being of Old Settler’s community of loyal festgoers, musical artists, sponsors, volunteers and vendors is truly our first priority.

We plan to reschedule Old Settler's for the fall, and the date will be announced as soon as its confirmed. Per our ticket sale policy, we cannot issue refunds, but will honor all tickets already purchased for the rescheduled show. In the meantime, Old Settler’s will continue in its mission to bring American roots music to new listeners and preserve the music’s culture and community and to support like-minded charitable organizations.

Thank you to our Old Settler’s family and to Caldwell County for their ongoing support. We look forward to seeing you at the Homestead this fall.

Lights All Night, one of the country’s longest-running end-of-the-year parties and premier electronic music festivals, is excited to announce a new partnership with Pollen as it expands to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico this coming November 4-7. All-inclusive ticket packages go on sale next Thursday, May 20 at lightsallnight.com.

LAN will soon offer attendees from across the globe a new and highly curated travel experience featuring some of the world’s most sought-after electronic music acts and nestled among the idyllic sandy beaches of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The new international event will be a much more intimate experience compared to that of the flagship music festival that regularly hosts 30,000+ guests every New Year’s Eve weekend in Dallas, Texas because an extremely limited number of tickets are being made available for purchase.

Music performances at the inaugural destination event in Puerto Vallarta will include a headlining DJ set from the Grammy Award-winning French electronic music duo Justice.

Additional performers include Russian-born electronic music producer and techno powerhouse Nina Kraviz, as well as the critically-acclaimed Parisian DJ Tchami, who is widely considered as one of the pioneers of future house. Stay tuned as several more music performers will be announced in the coming days.

“The Lights All Night team is thrilled to announce this partnership with Pollen to provide our fans a unique boutique experience in Puerto Vallarta,” says Lights All Night Owner/Founder Scott Osburn. “I’m personally very excited for this lineup and the timing of this event next fall. It's going to be a great way to get us back to the live experiences we’ve missed over the last year while gearing up for the return of our Dallas event this coming New Year’s Eve.”

In addition to all the incredible music performances on Puerto Vallarta’s white sandy beaches, the LAN team has worked closely with Pollen to create a highly curated weekend itinerary that goes beyond the typical Mexico beach party and is sure to leave attendees with lasting memories for years to come.

All guests will be treated to an exclusive beach party on Thursday with live music performances to help kick off the festivities. Other unique experiential offerings range from outdoor activities like deep-sea snorkeling excursions and meditative yoga to culinary adventures like visits to a working tequila farm and private dinners on a pirate ship, among others. Those interested should be on the lookout as the full itinerary of weekend events will be released early next week.

A limited number of all-inclusive vacation package options go on sale next Thursday, May 20 at lightsallnight.com. Patrons can secure their spot with a small deposit of just $30 and then pay the rest monthly on a payment plan.

The two hotel partners helping to host LAN attendees in paradise this fall will include the all-inclusive Krystal Puerto Vallarta Hotel and Hilton Puerto Vallarta Resort. With world-class amenities and expansive outdoor pools, both of these award-winning hotels are also located on the golden sand beaches of the Bay of Banderas and near the majestic Sierra Madres mountain range.

"It means so much to be able to work with Lights All Night to put together an incredible trip that everyone deserves after the past year,” said Pollen’s Strategic Accounts Director Jason Gerali. “Puerto Vallarta is a gorgeous tropical destination and the lineup has all-time greats playing right on the beach. We can’t wait to see everyone dancing together again this fall."

Since its inception in 2010, LAN has sought to bring attendees a festival experience unlike any other, featuring a highly curated selection of the world’s most sought-after electronic, dance, pop, and hip-hop music acts. With FOMO-inducing performances and larger-than-life production, Lights All Night has become one of the country’s premier year-end celebrations to welcome the year to come with over 500 music performers and 350,000 guests having attended the music festival since Year 1.

After a brief hiatus in 2020, the flagship music festival is now scheduled to return to Dallas, Texas for its 11th anniversary this coming New Year’s Eve weekend on December 30 and 31. The full music lineup along with ticket on-sale information for the Dallas music festival will be announced later this year at LightsAllNight.com. Although this new destination event in Mexico looks to offer fans an intimate fall getaway, be on the look for more details surrounding the return of the larger-than-life year-end festival this coming December.

Additional performers include LA-based producer/DJ Tokimonsta, who recently released her latest project Oasis Nocturno that served as a follow-up to the Grammy Award-nominated album Lune Rouge; and house music producer Dombresky, who has in fact collaborated with his fellow Frenchman and LAN Puerto Vallarta performer Tchami several times in recent years; as well as another Grammy Award-nominated producer Mat Zo, who recently released his latest album Illusion of Depth last fall to rave reviews from critics and fans alike.

Perennial LAN performer AC Slater will be bringing more acts down to Puerto Vallarta from his record label for a Night Bass Takeover. Expect to see these special artists and several others announced in a Phase 2 lineup coming soon.

Lights All Night, one of the country’s longest-running independent music festivals, is excited to announce the initial performance lineup as the dance music festival returns to Dallas, Texas for its 11th year on December 30 and 31. GA and VIP ticket packages to the New Year’s Eve event will go on sale next Tuesday, June 29 at LightsAllNight.com.

After a sold-out 10th anniversary celebration in 2019, Lights All Night (LAN) will make its triumphant return this coming December with performances from some of the world’s most sought-after dance and electronic music acts. 40,000 attendees over two days are expected at this year’s event, which will again return for a sixth year to Dallas Market Hall located just minutes from downtown Dallas.

This December, LAN will help ring in the new year with headlining performances from a number of festival alumni including a pair of Grammy Award-winning DJ/producers and perennial honorees on DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs list - Above & Beyond (2013, 2016) and DJ Snake (2014). Additional headliners include Denver-based producer Illenium (2017), who has become one of the industry’s hottest crossover electronic acts while being named as one of Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Artists of the 2010s; Parisian producer and singer/songwriter Madeon (2012) who was most recently nominated for a 2021 Best Electronic Album Grammy Award; and Philadelphia-born dubstep DJ Subtronics (2019), who has taken the heavy bass music scene by storm with the growing popularity of his mixtape series Now That's What I Call Riddim.

A number of other in-demand dance music acts are also set to grace the LAN stage for the very first time this December including Los Angeles’s very own heaven-trap duo SLANDER; UK-born bass house DJ/producer JOYRYDE; and rising dubstep producer SVDDEN DEATH, who is perhaps best known for the smash hit single “Sell Out" featuring fellow festival alumni Marshmello. Plus, several other acclaimed Canadian acts are also set to perform such as former Juno Award winners Loud Luxury; and three-piece dance group Black Tiger Sex Machine, who are perhaps best known for their mesmerizing live shows that incorporate illuminated tiger helmets.

“Texas’ most popular New Year’s Eve Party is back! We could not script a better way to end 2021 than to be back at our home in Dallas, Texas at Dallas Market Hall. This year, we have something for everyone and I cannot wait to see all of our LAN family join us back out on the dance floor this coming December,” said Lights All Night Founder/Owner Scott Osburn.

Starting next Tuesday, June 29, two-day GA and VIP tickets will become available for sale at LightsAllNight.com. For those looking to take their year-end celebrations to the next level, fans are encouraged to contact LAN directly at [email protected] to learn more about several Bottle Service Packages available for purchase starting at $1,500.

Partners and sponsors responsible for helping to make this year’s event possible include Mike’s HARDER Lemonade and Reign Total Body Fuel from Monster Energy.

This year’s official charity partner is once again DFW Rescue Me – a foster-based pet rescue nonprofit based in the Dallas area – for which LAN will be donating a portion of proceeds from the 2021 New Year’s Eve event to support the local organization.

Stay tuned as additional music performers and festival details surrounding the year-end music event will be announced in the coming weeks, including the single-day lineup and performance schedule, as well as the lineup of vendors, merchants, and visual artists slated to be onsite throughout the weekend.

For those eager to experience LAN beyond December hits, the festival has also partnered with Pollen to offer fans an extremely intimate and curated vacation getaway before the larger-than-life year-end music festival looks to return to Texas.
