Moonrise Festival

I've played a few shows with Shiftee in the past few years, and to be honest, it's pretty unfair. Not unlike Lebron as a teenager, it's embarrassing t

It's about a year and change overdue, but after waiting and waiting, the East Coast is about to get the festival it really deserves: Steez Promo's Moo

It used to be that festival season wasn’t year round. Now it is. With EDM’s explosion into a truly global-sized phenomenon, festivals spring up all over the place like a whack-a-mole game. This coming weekend (Saturday August 9t-10), Steez Promo and Glow DC are hosting Moonrise Festival in Baltimore, Maryland.

Moonrise Festival isn't set to touch down until August 9-10, but we already have the first phase of their lineup, and they definitely are coming witht

It was one year ago that the 2013 Moonrise Festival was canceled after receiving word that their final permit would not be approved. That was roughly

We're four days removed from the abrupt cancellation of the Moonrise Festival, and we're honestly not sure what to say. With any influx of cash and eyes on the dance music scene, you have to expect woes to move alongside the wins, right?

The Moonrise Festival already amazed us with Phase 1 of their line-up, which featured everyone from Flosstradamus to Flux Pavilion. Phase 2 has just hit the 'Net, and things just got real. Yes, you definitely see Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Lion) at the top, with artists like Eric Prydz, Nero, Crookers, Borgore, Krewella, DJ Craze, Mayhem, Sabo, and plenty of others being added. Things are getting SERIOUS!

Starscape's been replaced by Moonrise, and the Moonrise Festival has a SERIOUS line-up going down on June 8-9. Included in the flier below are Flux Pavilion, Pretty Lights, Alvin Risk, Dieselboy, Flosstradamus, UZ, Doctor P, Porter Robinson, Paul Van Dyk, Nadastrom, CRNKN, Tittsworth and SO much more, including the GZA performing Liquid Swords LIVE!
