No lineup announced yet but I highly recommend going...Being in the LA Colosseum for this last year was absolutely insane...70,000 people, 5 stages, carnival rides, and ALL the LA freakshows...Thievery Corporation, Pretty Lights, Boys Noize killed it....Don't miss it.

(By far the most stacked out of all the line ups...Big names and lots of different styles of music...For 155 bucks, this one is definitely worth it...)
I know its early but we'll put up individual reviews of each of the festivals when they get closer...Keep these in mind as your strugglin though finals, summers gettin close....Stay sucka free. Peace.
