Pharell’s Something In The Water Lineup Announcement
After two years of cancellations, Pharrell Williams’ Something In The Water Festival will finally happen. Initially set to take place in his hometown, Virginia Beach, production has moved to the Washington D.C. National Mall from June 17-19.
Pharrell chose this weekend in June so that the festival aligns with the nation’s newest federal holiday, Juneteenth. The three-day weekender boasts an exciting lineup of world-class hip hop, pop, EDM, and R&B artists. Notable names such as 6lack, Ashanti & Ja Rule, Calvin Harris, Chloe x Halle, Lil Baby, Ozuna, Run The Jewels, Tyler, the Creator, and Usher will be taking over the nation’s capital all weekend long. The lineup art also showcases Pharrell & Friends and “some people we can’t announce,” which we look forward to discovering.

Electric Forest Sell Out & Wristband Exchange Announcement
As one of the most sought-after music festivals this year, Electric Forest is officially sold out.

Electric Forest 2022 will be in Rothbury, MI, from June 23-26. The wristband exchange program will allow both ticket holders and buyers to purchase and transfer their passes until the festival's last day.
