If you’ve attended III Points since year one, you know how integral LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy has been to the festival’s success. He DJ’ed the first year when the festival’s fate was still very uncertain. Of course, there was also the time Murphy was supposed to perform as LCD Soundsystem in 2016 but was forced to cancel the band’s appearance after a near-scare from Hurricane Matthew.
“There’s enough festivals in the world showcasing bands already well known and successful. We wanted to create a space where people who really love music can come hear new sounds and take those sounds home with them to expand their listening horizons,” Snarky Puppy bassist Michael League says of his original intentions for GroundUp Music Festival. “I wanted this to be a festival that only booked artists that aren’t just wonderful, but wonderful live.”

Country music is steeped in female voices, from Patsy Cline to Reba McEntire, Shania Twain, and Faith Hill. But not since the Dixie Chicks burst onto the scene in 1998 has an all-female trio experienced such widespread success. “It really happened organically for us, and the timing was just right,” Runaway June lead…
New Order has a bit of a crush on Miami, and based on the response at last night’s sold-out show at the Fillmore, the feeling is mutual. The influential British New Wave group responsible for enduring dance-rock masterpieces such as “Blue Monday” and “Bizarre Love Triangle” announced a Miami stop on the heels of a rescheduled Chile tour date in early December. Within days of going on sale, tickets to the January 12 show had sold out.

Despite more than 400 shows on its roster since its inception four years ago, Atlanta’s three-piece Chew consistently delivers a high-energy live performance laden with spacey psychedelic instrumental sounds that reverb off the walls and straight into your brain.
