*Enjoy amazing live performances on the Main Stage hosted by KCRW’s Jeremy Sole & Anthony Valadez featuring the modern-day deep funk sounds of LA’s own Connie Price and the Keystones with Wildchild from the LootPack and MC Daakir/Soup of Jurassic 5. Additional live performances include the quintessential soul sounds of The Rebirth, the Afrobeat, spiritual jazz and dubbed-out dancefloor beats of Jeremy Sole’s Musaics, the Classic Funk and Soul stylings of BabyStone, plus golden era inspired sounds from the live hip hop bands Simple Citizens and E Reece and Core Elements.
*50+ DJs from some of LA’s top underground clubs will be serving up a diverse array of sounds throughout 6 music areas – soul, funk, reggae, hip hop, latin, jazz, and more – taking you on a worldwide trip of infinite soundscapes.
*Visit the curated Vendor Village where you’ll find quality and unique apparel, accessories, artwork, one-of-a-kind goods & more featuring some of the most creative individuals in Southern California. The Vendor Village is an extension of Flock Shop’s philosophy of supporting the independent artist.
*Watch as over 25 artists create amazing works of art right before your eyes in the Art Walk/Gallery Area curated by The Hive Gallery, with select pieces available for purchase. Get immortalized in pictures at The Holy Vampire Photo Booth!
