Tired of the $130 event passes, the flash downpours, the mile-long lines for lukewarm water, and corporate festival overcrowding? Skip the sunburn and get under the neon lights, because we have your cure. BUMMERFEST, a two-night independent, alternative anti-festival taking over Mad Planet for a massive double-header video dance party weekend. No never-ending lines, no $45 rain ponchos, just pure dancefloor energy.
Night 1 (Friday, June 26th), Goth Barge presents Dead Stars
Dance Commandr, XDOMINIONX, and DJ Falken team up to bring you a heavy dose of futurepop, industrial, EBM, darkwave, and goth. They'll be spinning tracks featuring music videos by VNV Nation, Covenant, Assemblage 23, Seabound, Wolfsheim, Beborn Beton, Icon of Coil, Apoptygma Berzerk, KMFDM, Rotersand, Nine Inch Nails, Front Line Assembly, and more.
Night 2 (Saturday, June 27th), the energy shifts to Post Modern Sleaze
Dance Commandr and DJ FernGully bring you a night of indie sleaze, electroclash, blog house, and dance-punk, dropping the ultimate nostalgic soundtrack featuring LCD Soundsystem, Justice, The Rapture, Klaxons, Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco, Mstrkrft, Boys Noize, Cut Copy, MGMT, Daft Punk, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bloc Party, Hot Chip, CSS, and Ladytron.
Both nights kick off at 9:00 PM and run until 2:30 AM at Mad Planet. Entry is just a $7 cover at the door each night, and these are 21+ events. Ditch the mega-fests, support local nightlife, and heal your festival fatigue on the dancefloor.
