All Day I DreamTickets

 

The brainchild day-into-night event of the legend Lee Burridge makes its way to one of the biggest and most beautiful metropolitan parks in the country. After starting on a Brooklyn rooftop nine years ago, this experience has garnered a cult following of people who want to get away from their day to day for the outdoor party of the year. Having been hosted in Ibiza, Moscow, Dubai, New York, London, Mykonos, Tulum, and more, it’s no secret why they choose these special locations for such a unique vibe. Be sure to get tickets from the link above and listen to Lee Burridge’s Essential Mix that came out a couple months ago.

Northern Nights Music FestivalTickets

 

Remember the days of sneaking cannabis into festivals? Yea…we don’t either. Luckily, come July 19th we no longer need to have nightmares about the days we never had. Thanks to our favorite boutique festival, Northern Nights, the Tree Lounge returns with the added feature of cannabis concessions. Already touted as being one of the most forward thinking fests in the circuit, they’ve really stepped it up since this move. Don’t forget to hug your farmers! Less hassle (do you sweat bullets when people ask to check your spare tire space?) means more fun. To top it off, there’s an experience of music, art, relaxation, human nature, community nature, and nature nature rounding out the weekend-long lazy river smoke out.

 

All jokes aside, this is a big deal. Finally, those in the trenches of the “Wellness” work and their consistent pushing of the needle have shepherded us into what we hope will become the regular modality for healthy and mindful development options at music festivals. With top-tier music from the likes of Zhu, Big Wild, The Desert Hearts Fam, Sacha Robotti, The Funk Hunters, Dance Spirit, Minnesota, and on, and on, and on, and on; alongside sky-caressing Redwoods, soul-stretching yoga, and mind-bending art adding that extra splash of good ol’ routine breaking fun that we all know is necessary for positive growth, Northern Nights has again reminded us why Cook’s Valley is a home away from “home”. So, let’s go home – we’ve missed ya.

With up to 20 years of playing music together under their belt, the familial union of these talented musicians can not be understated. This brass infused wonder band is packed with jam sessions that will satisfy even the biggest Phish fans. They have been back and forth through the years in the eyes of the media as far as whether or not they will stick together, but these guys just like to chill and go at their own pace.

 

Well they are back with a vengeance and at the Fillmore TONIGHT! There could not be a more perfect, historical venue to house this experience for not just them, but us, the fans. Be sure to grab an apple on your way in. It’s part of the Fillmore experience, and they’re delicious.

If you’ve ever seen Tennis live before, you might be surprised to know that they are, in fact, a duo. In all their years touring, they have been backed by a band. The fun thing about being a traveling musician is that you can experiment and play with different formats to keep things interesting…Not just to provide variance for the fans, but to shake things up on your own creative pursuits. That’s why I commend Tennis for taking on this challenge and embracing the imminent growth that will come from the SOLO IN STERO tour.

 

Also, were you ready to take a trip down to Nostalgiaville? Because we’re going there, baby. Tennis is taking none other than Matt Costa with them on this unique tour! Two heavy hitters coming together under the intimately eery roof of The Chapel in SF. Tickets are sold out, but I’m feeling lucky for you on their event page.

Treasure Island Music FestivalTickets

 

The amazing, wonderful, glorious, view-tastic, no-set-overlaptstick festival is back! You’ll have to excuse our excitement. After a two year hiatus, while on the hunt for a new location that could shed a light on the beautiful views of Treasure Island, the easily lovable festival returns. This is also despite hitting unruly waters in 2016 that unfortunately left a bitter taste in many mouths, even though it wasn’t the festivals fault at all. Those who were in attendance will forever remember the unique experience of everyone coming together literally in puddles and rivers, in sorrow over cancelled acts, or rejoicing over surprise DJ sets (Thanks Tycho!).

 

In 2018, they’re back with a vengeance of a lineup that has everyone over the moon to return to their beloved festival, regardless of the location. While TIMF boasts the most wonderful feature of staggered set times so attendees never have to miss an act, there’s still much else to do by way of exploring or silent disco-ing. That said, we highly recommend you find a good spot for the following acts. Also, remember to bring a jacket or a thick beer coat – it gets windy past sundown.

TicketsEvent Info

 

One of our favorite crews and vibe setters are ditching their desert dwelling ways for one night, and that night is this Sunday at the Great Northern in San Francisco. Over the years, the Desert Hearts family has blazed a trail of pounding bass lines and beautiful people. As their cult following continues to grow, so do their parties. This Sunday will be no different. In their words:

 

The music, theme camps, art installations, performers, the food, the people, the LOVE ???? – taking over the FULL BLOCK where the iconic The Great Northern sits (plus the main and upstairs rooms).

 

This is going to be a party for the books at the Great Northern. The whole place turns into a proper block party, and there’s not a chance we’d miss it. Peep the Desert Hearts crew closing their fest below:

Tickets

 

Australia is in no shortage of musicians that shake the world with their musings. While Tame Impala has led the charge for the country’s psychedelic rock scene, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have been holding their own. Hailing from Melbourne, the eccentric group has managed to release 13 studio albums since 2012. Are they machines? TBD. Their style or the way they produce their songs reminds me a lot of what I love about Thee Oh Sees.

 

Your chance to see their energetic live performance, where they get much of their acclaim, is coming up if you’re in the Bay Area. They come to the historic Warfield Theater on Saturday June 2nd.
