MAY 3+4
Shabang will have their tenth anniversary this year and the lineup is certainly one to celebrate. It will take place at Dairy Creek Golf Course, 2990 Dairy Creek Rd – San Luis Obispo, CA.
Some great artists to check out (excluding headliners): ZAHN, Couch Dog, Swede & Skogen, Kate Bollinger, Sun Room.
May 22 – 27
Lightning in a Bottle will occur at Buena Vista Lake at the Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational Area in Kern County, CA. This is an amazing mid sized festival that has something for everybody. Some acts to keep an eye out for (excluding the headliners): Maria Tambien, Miss Dre, Glass Beams, La Lom, Justin Martin, Of The Trees.
Make sure to bring a bandana and lots of sunscreen! Dusty and sunny (its May in Bakersfield after all), but well worth it.
June 28 – 30
Tucked in the hills of Live Oak Campground in Santa Barbara, CA, Lucidity brings a very unique experience to the area. Usually great backdrops due to the green hills and there is plenty of room to dance at each stage.
Can’t miss these artists (excluding headliners): Luna Jay, Elsyian Moon, Bix King, Häana, Kr3ture.
