True Music Festival is a brand new, multi-genre music festival making its debut this winter in Scottsdale, Arizona at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick Resort. The festival, which will be taking place on December 14, 2013, is already packing some major heat in terms of headlining artists.

First on the list is the always eccentric and EDM favorite, Bassnectar. With his new album out and Immersive Music Tour already underway, Bassnectar will be wrapping up his year by bringing his huge sound and incredible light show to the Scottsdale area.

The next headliner is one of the most influential and genre-bending bands in rock ‘n’ roll: The Flaming Lips. The three-time Grammy award winning band is known not only for some of the most thematic tracks ever written, but more importantly for their amazing live shows including elaborate costuming and visuals, and lots of toilet paper. Don’t forget about Wayne Coyne crowd surfing in a a giant balloon.

The next big name to take the stage at the True Music Festival is hip hop mogul Wiz Khalifa. Khalifa, who has also been busy with an international tour, is sure to be a huge bringer for hip-hop fans across Arizona. Wiz is best known for his tracks “Black and Yellow,” “Young Wild & Free,” and “No Sleep.”

Sticking to their motto of having a “multi-genre” music festival, the final two artists on the headliner list give attendees a true blend of indie and folk rock. Capital Cities, known best for their smash dance single “Safe and Sound,” and Lord Huron who have been making waves in the indie community since 2010, will be bringing the perfect mix of grooviness to an already stacked lineup.

First tier general admission tickets are on sale now, while VIP and other packages will be available within the next coming weeks.

Be sure to check back soon for more information on additional artists, tickets, and more!

This year’s event was one of the best of its kind to date; from some incredible up-and-coming acts to the world’s biggest and best DJs, Sound Wave was the place to be this past weekend. Incredible artists and an awesome energy filled both the outside street stage and inside the Maya Day + Night Club as thousands of people from all across the valley came together for one fun-filled day.

One of the first artists we got to check out was Arizona native Brazzabelle who had everyone at the Maya stage dancing for her entire set. As the sun beat down on attendees, Brazzabelle kept the party going playing some of the best big-room house, and lead right into another JNTM favorite, DJ Craze. 

Craze was definitely a surprise to most of the Scottsdale crowd as he dropped the biggest and boomiest trap and hip hop tracks this audience had ever seen. He was also a great artist to watch as he was able to get the whole crowd to react to his set.

While Craze was killing it inside Maya, we also got to check out Miami favorites and artists on the rise, Brass Knuckles who are making some pretty big waves (no pun intended) in the EDM community by combining a traditional electronic setup with live instrumentation. They’re known for calling themselves a “band” rather than just another DJ group — which could not be more true. These guys completely dominated the street stage with their huge drops and sick guitar solos.

As the sun began to set and the audience continued to grow, another JNTM favorite took the Maya stage by storm. Drezo wasted no time with his performance at Sound Wave. Dropping some of the best deep house tracks including Brodinski’s “Nobody Rules the Streets” and his own secret weapon, “Rogue,”  Drezo had the Scottsdale crowd blown away.

Finally, as the opening acts were coming to an end, Porter Robinson took to the stage in his first performance in AZ since his stop in Tempe for his Language Tour in 2012. Simply put, Porter was one of the hardest hitting acts of the entire day. Playing a lot of his stuff featured in this year’s Ultra performance, it was no surprise that he had EVERYONE dancing and jumping in the streets.

Of course, what Sound Wave would be complete without a performance from a world-wide legend. Last year, the festival headlined with Kaskade, who was recently awarded by DJ Mag as America’s Best DJ. This year, Scottsdale was lucky enough to get the world-renowned and EDM legend Tiesto to end the festival. One of the best parts of Tiesto’s set was the fact that he played some of his older tracks like Elements of Life. Like Porter, Tiesto had the entire block party jumping and dancing well into the night.

As the night came to an end and everyone shuffled out of the venue with their ears still ringing from a day full of awesome dance music, there was hardly anything to complain about. All in all Sound Wave was a smooth running event that definitely put Scottsdale on the map as a hot spot for DJs around the world. We look forward to seeing what Disco Donnie Presents and Steve LeVine Entertainment have in store for the future!

Steve LeVine Entertainment & Public Relations and Disco Donnie Presents are teaming up to bring you one of the biggest EDM music festivals in Arizona for the fourth year in a row. Taking place both inside Maya Day + Nightclub and between Indian Plaza road and Saddlebag Trail (just south of Camelback Road) in Old Town Scottsdale, this year’s Sound Wave is going to be one for the books.

Talent

With artists from all over the world busting out some of the biggest tracks of today, Sound Wave promises to be one of the best shows to celebrate the end of summer.

The headlining acts alone are enough reason to check out this show: Tiesto, who has spent this year headlining shows like Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, and a sold out show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, returns to Scottsdale along with Porter Robinson who has also been killing it around the globe (especially with one of our favorite sets of Ultra 2013). Other notable artists to watch out for at this year’s Sound Wave include Amtrac, Treasure Fingers, and Cave Creek native Brazzabelle.

UPDATE: Sound Wave has just announced that our good friend Drezo will be performing at this year’s event, along with DJ DECiPHA, Jerry Wang, DJ Soulman, Arizona native Pickster One, and many more!

Packages

Since the show is taking place in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, the good people behind  Sound Wave are hooking you up with some exclusive packages at the W Scottsdale. The package includes two tickets per bed, two SIP tickets per registered guest, and obviously a fantastic room at one of the hippest hotels in Scottsdale. Get your packages here.
