Friday is the Identity Festival and even if you are all
danced out from the Global Dance Festival you still are going to want to muster
up whatever energy you can and make your way to the Elektricity Festival
Grounds. There are too many acts to list but the headliners include: Eric
Prydz, Excision and Audrey Napolean, and if you didn’t know yet, JDEVIL
(Jonathan Davis from Korn) may even be there (but it doesn't look like it). Plus a number of our local DJs will
also be DJing or spinning or turning various knobs.
Last year ID Fest was at GTE as an over-bloated affair that
honestly wasn’t well attended. I’m expecting Elektricity Festival Grounds (or
Phoenix Center) to be the perfect site for the show, with a relaxed atmosphere
and I’m also predicting perfect weather. I haven’t seen a list of set times of
even a layout of the stages (are there 3 or 4?), but I do know you want to
leave early because the start time is 2pm. MCB will be there talking to artists
and taking photos of the people gettin’ down to the sound. Tickets are still
available but you’ll need to tap that ATM a little harder as they start around
$40. (Or you can try and win tickets from MCB - see here!) There are after parties at both Crofoot and Elektricity so be prepared for
another late summer night.
