Why You're Going To Riptide Music Festival

Riptide Music Festival will be taking on their second annual celebration December 2nd - 3rd on the gorgeous sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach, Florida. We're astonished at the amount of talent Riptide is bringing to the table this year and here's exactly why you should be too.

Powered by Ford and brought to you by South Florida Radio Stations 104.3 The Shark, 102.7 The Beach Miami, 790 The Ticket, and 101.5 Lite Miami, Riptide Music Festival is making their comeback bigger than ever with two days full of stacked music, live art installations, local / national vendors, a wine garden, sports oasis, unique food options, and positive vibes all in a family friendly environment on one of the most iconic beaches in the world.

Heavy hitting headliners for this year's extravaganza include Cage The Elephant, Weezer, KC & The Sunshine Band, and Lou Gramm (of Foreigner). The fun doesn't even come close to stopping there with our highlighted acts including Portugal. The Man, Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness, Iration, Salt-N-Pepa, Saint Motel, PVRIS, Mondo Cozmo, New Politics, Loverboy and seriously so many more that the artists alone are more than enough of a reason to attend the South Florida party of the year.

Riptide also offers tons of amenities including something they call the Underground Village. Here is where you can experience secret sets, pop-up shows, and chances to win exclusive packages like backstage meet-and-greet passes to your favorite artist performing.

We're most jazzed about areas Riptide is bringing like the Wine Garden and Sports Oasis. The Wine Garden is where you can really sit back in the shade and relax for as long as you need, with some of the nation's best wines and spirits. The Sports Oasis this year is powered by Yuengling and 790 The Ticket where you can watch all of sports needs, kick it in Tahiti daybeds, unwind, and snap photos to score from free swag.

You can also be a part of Ford's Blue Lounge which includes premium on-site giveaways, pop-up performances, and chance to see Charlsey Miller up close and personal. Make sure to stay hydrated and come prepared, but if you absolutely need, Riptide will even be providing phone charging stations to avoid missing any documentation!

The absolute best part of Riptide in it's entirety is the extremely affordable and low pricing tickets. Single-Day tickets for only $60 while Two-Day passes are going for $100. It's honestly very surprising to see such astronomical talent for prices like this compared to other festivals.

Tame Impala's 'Lonerism' Released Five Years Ago Today

Renowned Australian psychedelic rock group, Tame Impala, released their second studio album, Lonerism, exactly five years today ago via Modular Recordings. These guys have moved us beyond belief and have personally shaped many of our group's lives to this day.

It's hard to believe Lonerism released only five years ago, because I am certainly for one still fully invested in the future based production, experimental sounds, and the catchy simplicity this album is heavily known for. The man behind the music is lead guitarist and singer, Kevin Parker, who personally produced the entire album on his own making a huge impact on what is possible in today's music industry.

Kevin's ways of bending the rules is what put Tame Impala on the global map with a complete DIY mentality, with hit songs including their first international single "Elephant". Soon after this day five years ago, artists from all necks of the woods began to take notice that Tame Impala was certainly a truthful way of expressing a love for music from legends such as Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Ringo Starr, Arcade Fire, Jack White, along with almost every name in the book.

Although Lonerism released October 5th in Australia, the U.S. release date was indeed today October 9th, 2012 leaving a legacy of opportunity for themselves and many new artists alike. Currently, the genius behind songs like "Be Above It", "Mind Mischief", "Apocalypse Dreams", and "Feels Like We're Only Going Backwards" has producer credits for your favorite artists including Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Run The Jewels, Solange and so many more. 

Celebrate your day with Tame Impala's Lonerism and if you haven't had the pleasure of giving this glorious record a listen, now is the perfect time! Currently Tame Impala is taking a well deserved break in the process working on their upcoming fourth studio album.

Happy Fifth Birthday Lonerism!
