SNOWBALL MUSIC FESTIVAL March 2-4th in Avon, Colorado!

Snowball Music Festival is unlike any other festival out there. You get to go see your favorite electronic artists, in the SNOW. Who doesn't love bundling up for a snow day? Well you get three days of fun at this specific festival. My best friends and I headed up to Avon, Colorado this past weekend where we froze our butts off and enjoyed every moment of it!
Major Lazer at Snowball Music Festival 3/2/12
On Friday night my favorites were Major Lazer and Rusko. Major Lazer was absolutely AWESOME. Every single one of my friends was jumping up and down during their entire set. Major Lazer is so unique and has a jamaican side to their shows. Diplo, a well known electronic music artist, is also a member of Major Lazer which I think a lot of people don't realize. It was really cool to finally get to see him in person as I've heard so many good things about his music over the last year. Check out two videos I took of them at Snowball on Day 1. (Remember to mute my music playlist).



Rusko was a blast, as always! He gives off so much energy during his sets that I swear it effects the crowd positively. I also almost didn't recognize him in the huge snow jacket he was wearing! Check out my video of him below.


On Saturday my favorites were Break Science, Ghostland Observatory, and Snoop Dogg! Snoop Dogg was so much fun. I didn't think I knew that many Snoop Dogg songs until his show started and I knew every single one. Everybody was dancing and singing during his whole set... and also cracking up at the adorable old man dancing on stage that you can see in the beginning of my video! Haha, check it out.


On Sunday, my favorites were Minnesota and obviously... Bassnectar!!! I missed Beats Antique and The Motet for Bassnectar because I was already camped out at the main stage about 3 hours early. Because of this, I got to check out Leftover Salmon, the "secret guest" of the weekend, and they were pretty fun and funky. Right before Bassnectar was supposed to be Afroman, which was a complete disaster. He was extremely late and Snowball had to get other people to fill in for him. He claimed his van broke down but at least the two songs he did get on stage and sing were decent. We got to see "C-1" and "C-Way" rap and then some kind of high school band came on stage with their drumline and that was actually pretty entertaining, but everyone was just dying for Bassnectar to come on anyways. As soon as I got to the main stage I ran into a bunch of Bassnectar family (BNF as we call it) and one of the guys picked me to make the famous "Bass Front Property" sign ...which I drew with joy!

Bassnectar at Snowball Music Festival 2/4/12
Bassnectar's set was magical! He played so much new music and I was so happy to be there in that moment. As my blog readers know, I'm a huge Bassnectar fan, and believe his music is the best of it's kind. I took two videos during his set that you can watch below. I am so excited for his new album "VaVa Voom" to come out in the next couple of months!



This music festival was so much fun and I highly recommend it to people in the future. There really is nothing like the experience you have at this festival. There is just something about being bundled up in layers upon layers of clothes and being in 10-30 degree weather that just makes the experience weird and different yet fantastic and so much fun!

Thanks so much for reading! Talk to you all soon.
