GRiZ’s Triple Rainbow Fest
Earlier this week, funk and bass producer GRiZ tweeted about always dreaming of putting on his own festival someday, only to discover that his dream was already manifested into reality just a few days later. Scheduled to take place from Sept 16-17, GRiZ is proud to present his first-ever Triple Rainbow Fest at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin.
Previously acknowledged as a legendary rock and jam-band heavy venue, GRiZ will be producing the first electronic-only show at Alpine Valley. The venue has hosted prominent acts like the Grateful Dead, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Rush, Phish, and two editions of Lollapalooza when the festival traveled to pop-up locations in the 90s.
Aside from two headlining performances by GRiZ himself, the debut festival will host like-minded musicians like LSDream, CloZee, Tripp St., Minnesota, EAZYBAKED, Chee, Noah B, and Tape B. Fans can expect GRiZ to perform a unique set each night filled with unreleased material, standout classics, and unforgettable live takes on tracks off his most recent Rainbow Brain album.
