Scottsdale, AZ (August 27, 2013) -
True Music Festival, a brand new festival experience coming to
Scottsdale, Arizona, is pleased to announce the first round of
performers for the inaugural event, which will be held at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on December 14, 2013. The
performer lineup at the multi-genre festival includes: wildly engaging
EDM producer and DJ, Bassnectar; rock stalwarts, The Flaming Lips;
hip-hop impresario, Wiz Khalifa; the indie-pop duo, Capital Cities; and
indie-folk band, Lord Huron. More artists will be announced in the
coming weeks, building off of these and other genres. In addition to a day of performances featuring a range of musicians, from nationally recognized artists to local favorites, the festival will also include a wide array of vendors, art installations, roving performers and more.
"We
are incredibly excited to bring this level of talent to Arizona," says
festival founder Jarid Dietrich. "This first round of artists should
give people a glimpse at the direction we are headed and the unique
experience we want to bring to the state."
Leading
the charge at True Music Festival, Bassnectar spans the spectrum of
sonic style. Drawing inspiration from every genre imaginable, he shows
no hesitation when it comes to fusing the familiar with the strange or
the classic with the cutting edge. Genre bending in their own right, three-time
Grammy award winners The Flaming Lips are known as much for their music
as their ostentatious live shows. Utilizing costumes, balloons,
puppets, video projections, complex light shows, confetti and just about
anything else the band can find; The Lips set will be one not to miss.
And, Best New Artist at the
2012 Billboard Music Awards, Wiz Khalifa has established himself as one
of the brightest young stars to watch. His music is loaded with pure
rap bangers and smash pop hits, adored by his loyal fan following across
the globe.
Holding
to True Music Festival's pledge of presenting a multi-genre event that
would appeal to all, the final two artists provide an indie blend of
music not immediately noticeable in the previous three artists. With a
hit single that quickly shot to #1 on modern rock radio and is currently
climbing the Top 40 charts, it’s hard to believe that Capital Cities’
duel frontmen were once jingle writers who met on Craigslist. This Los
Angeles-based indie-electro team creates music with an upbeat mesh of
programming and melody primed for stardom. And while being equally as
indie as Capital Cities, Lord Huron crafts a blend of folk-rock,
that may be most appealing to fans of My Morning Jacket. With songs
characterized by the wide open spaces of the mythic American West, Lord
Huron creates a rootsy foundation layered with ingenious sonic
dimensions.
The
multi-stage festival, which is a first for the area, will be held at
the Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. Centrally located between
Phoenix and neighboring Arizona State University, the venue is a part of
a new 140-acre state-of-the-art
A
limited allotment of pre-sale tickets will go on sale Tuesday, August
27 for $60, before moving to $70 for General Admission. Tickets will be
available online at www.truemusicfestival.com/
