III Points Reveals Gorillaz As 2017 Headliner

Our friends at III Points Festival are back at it with their fifth year celebration taking place October 13th - 15th, 2017 in Miami, Florida. We have been a part of the III Points movement for some time now and are absolutely blown away that not only the Gorillaz announced a North American Tour today but giving the Florida exclusive performance to III Points Music, Arts, & Technology Festival is the best thing we've heard all year.

This is a big hairy deal people, as history will be made this year. This will also be the last official date the Gorillaz have set on tour, so the experience will be special to everyone involved, most importantly the fans.

III Points has always set the bar high with innovative styles of live performance in unique settings. Gorillaz headlining this beast of an event, is just yet another example of why III Points will be always be for the people.

Prophet Passes are currently SOLD OUT but a limited amount of 3-Day General Admission and Foresight VIP Passes will go on sale THIS Friday April 21st at 12:00 AM midnight EST. Make sure to get all your friends on board with your ticket options HERE! 

Pre-order the Gorillaz seventh studio album, Humanz, taking over and coming your way Friday, April 28th HERE.

Stay in tune with Holiday of Music for ALL III Points related news including the anticipated full lineup coming very very soon!

Listen To Mac DeMarco's New Track "On The Level"

Our favorite indie goofball, Mac DeMarco, has released his third single off the upcoming album, This Old Dog, due for release Friday, May 5th via Captured Tracks. We're beyond stoked for what is to come of this record, as the first two singles "My Old Man" and "This Old Dog" have both already been engraved in our noggins.

We had the pleasure of shooting Mac last month, and let us tell you, these guys' live performance is something else at the moment. Truly inspiring to see the musicianship of the band grow stronger and more tight over the years, as each song literally sounded BETTER than the records.

The Kooks Release New Music Video "Be Who You Are"

United Kingdom based indie group, The Kooks, are some of our all time favorite artists from their first album release, Inside In / Inside Out, in 2006. Ever since, we have been hooked on every release these guys have come out with.

Although we were not too fond of the latest album, Listen, we still hold The Kooks very close to our hearts. It has been officially announced that the band will be releasing a Greatest Hits based album titled, The Best Of.... So Far. The album is currently available for pre-order here and will be ready for the public's ears on Friday, May 19th via Astralwerks Records.

Before we go into full Kook celebration mode, come peep the brand new music video for a recently released track titled "Be Who You Are" below.

Why Brooklyn Steel Could Be The Next Premier NYC Venue

Brooklyn Steel is a much anticipated new music venue brought to us by the Bowery Presents team and the beautiful city of Brooklyn, New York. The doors to what can certainly be the next hip place in NYC opened on Thursday April 6th and are still open for a special FIVE NIGHT run with experimental legends, LCD Soundsystem.

Bowery Presents is NYC's primary venue management and concert promotion company responsible for places like Terminal 5, Mercury Lounge, Music Hall of Williamsburg, and many more top joints. The foundation of the venue itself is an old steel manufacturing plant and offers a unique mixture of relativity and authenticity giving the name, Brooklyn Steel.

The entire plant from the steel bars to the windows have been repurposed accordingly to create a safe environment for the upcoming concert goers. With heavy hitting names like The Decemberists, Two Door Cinema Club, Tycho, Father John Misty, Whitney, The Pixies, Vulfpeck, along with so many more, we are certain that Brooklyn Steel is 100% going to be the place to hang for artists and attendees alike.

Brooklyn Steel offers a perfect sized capacity set venue with New York's only moveable stage, shifting into three different positions to fit accordingly to the audience and performer. You can expect to see capacities of 1,200, 1,500, and 1,800 people which gives the perfect in between balance of Terminal 5's 5,300 capacity venue and Mercy Lounge's 250 cap. Trust us, close to every act you know and love is going to be booked at this already historical venue.

Keep your eye out for huge acts coming in the very near future with the full calendar here. Check out the photo gallery brought to us by Jenny Regan and an interactive time lapse construction video by BrooklynVegan below!
