Countdown to Life is Beautiful: 23 Days – twenty one pilots

1 Sep

Back at the inaugural Life is Beautiful we brought a little known band in for and early afternoon set. Fast forward two years and twenty one pilots have quickly ascended up the ranks and are becoming a force with millennial music fans. We’re pumped to be able to bring them back in much bigger spot and for a much bigger show. Expect a huge crowd when they take the stage so come early, stay late and you may just see Tyler Joseph climb the stage structure, crowd walk or even pass out!

Countdown to Life is Beautiful: 25 Days – BØRNS

30 Aug

You’re going to want to say you saw BØRNS at Life is Beautiful this year. Bursting on to the scene in 2015, Garrett Borns is an indie-pop star in the making. If you’re a fan of Passion Pit, Priory, Saint Motel and MisterWives, you’re going to love BØRNS. I got my first live glimpse at BØRNS at SXSW this year and have followed his performances since, boy are you in for a treat at Life is Beautiful! When we drop the schedule be sure to add him to your schedule and let him just take you on a dreamy set while you bask in the Vegas sunshine! 25 days; see you soon!!

Countdown to Life is Beautiful: 27 Days – X Ambassadors

28 Aug

27 Days and counting! Bring on the heat, music, food, art , learning and of course the party!

If you listen to the radio or watch TV it’s a given you’ve heard “Renegades” the hit single by X Ambassadors. The song has been charting all summer long and paired with a massive add campaign by JEEP using “Renegades,” the Ithaca, New York alt rockers are surging in popularity. Back in 2014 “Jungle” spiked the band’s popularity and where you may know them from. Having gotten a chance to see them out on tour earlier this summer I can attest that their live show is one you won’t want to miss. Catch them at Life is Beautiful on Friday, September 25.

The amount of additions, announcements and special surprises when you walk in the gates are starting to add up but I can’t forget about the music!

You’ll be energized, captivated and most definitely “Feel The Lightning.”

Well fast forward to present, omit Valentine from the band and the remaining four renamed the group PHASES and released three new tracks this spring including the below, “I’m In Love With My Life.” #TrueStory

Leon Bridges’ Coming Home out today!

23 Jun

Music fans, if you buy one album this year make it Leon Bridges‘ Coming Home which is out today! The smooth and sly 25 year old has already been compared to Sam Cooke and Otis Redding with his old-school soul sound and while his studio stuff has all the chops to become album of the year, it’s his live show that will have you weak in the knees. So do two things this new music Tuesday, go buy the album and go find yourself a Leon Bridges concert to attend.

Peace + Love + Music

Check out his performance last night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
