Earlier this year I caught wind that the Phoenix area was going to host a large-scale festival at some point during the winter, and I have some family down there so my ears perked up at the chance of catching a major music festival while staying for free on my cousin’s couch. Turns out this major music festival has huge plans in their inaugural year and they swung for the fences by booking top headliners like Bassnectar, The Flaming Lips and Wiz Khalifa. It’s called the True Music Festival, and at first glance I think this has potential to be a big one in time. It’d be great if they roll out a solid second-tier set of artists to round out the top of the list, but people travel for Bassnectar alone at this point and the lineup they’ve announced so far will definitely be an interesing day of music to the eclectic fans’ delight. Tickets will start at about $80 pre-Ticketmaster charges.
