Fireworks, Grilling, Apple Pie, and some good American music sounds just what the doctor ordered this 4th of July and we’re getting things started a night early! The next installment of the Life is Beautiful Downtown Las Vegas Music Showcase is going Americana this Wednesday night as we invade the parking lot at Park on Fremont for an evening of sweet music. Homegrown festival act, Beau Hodges Band will headline a great night of music also featuring Justin Mather, Easy 8’s, Kalsey Kulyk and Megan Barker! Hope you can make it, going to be a fun one! Also if you’re one of the first 50 people in attendance you’ll be able to snag one of these schnazzy posters designed by local artists Hernan Valencia.
Come one, come all! Tonight we are filming our announcement video for Life Is Beautiful and need all your beautiful and smiling faces to be a part of the action! Details below but come make some history with us and don’t forget, the Festival takes place October 26-27 in Downtown Las Vegas!.
If you read the blog last week you’ve already seen who’s playing at Lollapalooza this August but if not, below is the lineup poster. Should be another solid three days/nights in the Windy City and I have to say, nice to see The Dunwells on here again as their set was washed out in 2012.

Well the wait is over and after nearly an hour of Weird Al’s telethon style releasing on Bonnroo365, here is the first portion of the Bonnaroo 2013 lineup. Get ready for the Farm, June 13-16. and a word to the wise, head in as early as you can because you don’t want to miss a full Thursday.
Here we go, Coachella released the 2013 lineup tonight! Give a look and see who made it this year. Will be dropping some more thoughts later but take a look at the smaller acts, some real gems set to perform. And can we just say J U R A capital S another S I C Five MCs in the flesh…… Jurassic 5 on the lineup!
Just a shade over three weeks away and Bonnaroo is coming together more and more each day. Today even more artist additions were announced (they actually leaked on the site last week) including The Dirty Guv’nahs, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Penguin Prison, GZA anda handful more! You can view the whole artist lineup HERE.
Also the exciting news is that the schedule was released which means the agony of trying to figure out what bands you are going to see, miss, run from to another, etc. can begin as you plot and plan how to attack this incredible lineup. You can view the whole schedule HERE.
Personally I can’t wait to get the 2012 festival underway with Tennessee’s own, The Dirty Guv’nahs!
This is a band I can’t wait to see at Bonnaroo. While they have been around for a long time, they really came to my attention after opening for O.A.R. and I’ve been hooked since. I mean who doesn’t love reggae music? This is going to be the perfect band that I can see pulling an early time slot to get the good vibes flowing throughout the grounds.
I take it back to November 2010 when I first heard Fitz & The Tantrums and I encourage you to read what I wrote on the blog back then, it’s all true. In the year and a half since, they have seemingly blown up playing just about everywhere you could imagine and now make their appearance at Bonnaroo. Having seen this group more than a handful of times I encourage you to experience their live show for yourself which will certainly be one big, hot and sweaty dance party in the Tennessee sun.
A tip of the hat to Superfly for their clues to the Outside Lands 2012 festival lineup. If you’re on Instagram, follow Ranger Dave at OUTSIDE_LANDS where they’re dropping an album cover each day until the line-up is released in full on April 17.
