Is it just me, or are new festivals popping up right and left? I mean, I’m certainly not complaining (my bank account, on the other hand, isn’t quite as thrilled), and I’m super excited about the themes and lineups of some of these brand new festivals. I’m particularly excited for is Ubbi Dubbi. This brand new springtime event will take place Saturday, April 27th and Sunday, April 28th at the Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth, Texas.

Happy 2019! I hope everyone is having a great start to 2019. Now that we're back to our daily routines, is anybody else missing the magic of NYE?! I know these January blues are definitely making me miss Countdown 2018. What a great way to end 2018 and start 2019. It might’ve been a little windy but it was worth the chill for a night that was out-of-this-world. It was one of a kind alien abduction that I hope to return to next year (although, maybe without the wind). Each set, performer, stage and light were awesome as it should be on NYE! Continue Reading

I find that when I combat this stereotype with the obvious, “you know that’s not what EDM shows are all about, right?” I’m often left with eyebrow raises and silent screams of, “yeah, right." I wanted to dive deeper into the topic of sober raving and look past the lens of my own personal experience. So, I decided to dig up some truth and have open and honest conversations with active festival goers. Continue Reading

I can’t really think of a better way to end one year and begin the next than at a massive music festival. Being surrounded by the best music and vibes helps me reflect on the past year while setting my sights on the future, all at the same time. It was for these reasons that I chose to spend a couple of my last days of 2018 at Lights All Night, a festival I’d been wanting to make it out to for a few years now. Continue Reading

Another amazing year of festivals has finally come to and end, and I am so thankful I got to sign off 2018 at Get Together this year in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. I got to spend the final week of 2018 with two insane nights filled uplifting vibes, killer performances, some new pals and a perfect memory to add to 2018’s memory lane. This event held an extra special place in my heart because it was the first time my boyfriend, Jake, would be returning back to the music scene.  Continue Reading

Vujaday Music Festival first appeared on the scene last year for its inaugural event. I was easily enticed last year to look into it after learning it’s organized by Canada’s premier music festival agency, The RKET. Plus, not to mention, the fact that it’s hosted on an island in the Caribbean. Continue Reading

It’s almost time to wrap up this year and ring in 2019! What better way to do so than at Decadence CO for their annual NYE festival December 30th and 31st at the Colorado Convention Center? This year is crazier than ever, with a completely stacked lineup featuring some of the biggest artists such as Bassnectar, Eric Prydz, Above & Beyond, Skrillex, Illenium, and many more. Not sure who to check out? Here are some sets you should definitely check out at Decadence! Continue Reading

Can you believe that Countdown NYE is less than 2 weeks away?! I’m definitely counting down the days to this event. This year, Countdown will be held at National Orange Show Event Center or NOS in San Bernardino, CA on Monday, December 31st! Prepare to be abducted into this night of music, which will be worth the loss of sleep. The mixture of artists is out of this world and I’m hoping to catch as many sets as possible! Here are five sets you CANNOT miss during the event.

Get Together is a two-day festival, held in the heart of Alberta’s capital city on Thursday, December 27, 2018 and Friday December 28, 2018. There are a TON of reasons why I’m jazzed about this year's event, but I am definitely most excited about the killer lineup! This event has a diverse mixture of artists that cater to Edmonton’s love for bass. Here’s my list of 5 sets you won’t want to miss.  Continue Reading

As 2018 comes to a close, I'm starting to look ahead to 2019 and setting goals for the new year. In 2019, I'd like to attend bigger events next year that I haven't had the chance to attend in the past. One of these events that I had been strongly considering was EDC Mexico. EDC Las Vegas was my first electronic festival and remains my favorite to this day, and I’ve always wanted to try attending an EDC in another country. Then, Insomniac and OCESA released the jaw-dropping EDC Mexico lineup this week, and I knew this festival had to be one of my next stops!

Normally, Thanksgiving is a weekend gathering with family and friends and eating good food. However, instead of a traditional Thanksgiving this year for me, it was “Trancegiving” at Dreamstate SoCal in San Bernardino. I got to spend two days with amazing ravers and a weekend full of one of my favorite subgenres of EDM: trance music. This year’s lineup was stacked with some of the best trance artists out there, such as Gareth Emery, Ferry Corsten, Giuseppe Ottovani, Bryan Kearney, and many more. Continue Reading

The end of 2018 is quickly approaching, and the time has come to find the perfect event to sign off your year with one last epic weekend. For all my Alberta ravers (and all those who want to party Canadian style), that ultimate year-end bash is Get Together in Edmonton, Alberta. Get Together is a two-night event, providing back-to-back parties on December 27 and December 28, 2018. Here’s a full rundown on what you need to know. Continue Reading
