Couple Turns Wedding Into Two-Day Camping Music Festival
Planning a wedding is ambitious enough. Now imagine a wedding crossed with a camping music festival. That is precisely what Jamon Deaver and Joey Lawton were able to pull off in Berea, Kentucky. The couple held their event, titled Wonder Woods, on a 40-acre plot owned by Deaver’s family. At first, they expected the idea would be a hard sell. Preparing for pushback, the couple prepared by crafting a pitch deck and formal presentation for Deaver’s family, but in the end they didn’t hesitate to go along with it. “They were 100 percent in from the first second,” Deaver recalled. A story published by the The New York Times notes the couple brought 230 guests to the property and 125 of them camped for two nights. Together, they built a stage and DJ booth ...

Amid COVID-19 Protocols, Mexico’s Baja Beach Fest Returns With Ozuna, Karol G & More
“We’ve been working with every state and city department to make sure that Baja Beach Fest is as safe as possible,” BBF founders Aaron Ampudia and Chris Den Uijl said in a press release. “We’re excited to show the world that live music can come back in a way people can feel comfortable with.” On a similar note, a local policeman on the ground, who asked to remain anonymous, told Billboard, “Mexico continues to enforce strict laws about not letting the public enter inside establishments without a mask.

Cardi B, Don Omar, Steven Van Zandt React to 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake Near Haiti
Omar also addressed the disaster, tweeting in Spanish, “In times of tragedy we have been a united people who have managed to move forward, now is the time to unite and help in this tragedy #Haiti.” Van Zandt, meanwhile, replied to a fan’s tweet about not discussing politics over the weekend. “NONE! Let’s send some positive energy to Haiti! Man that country is cursed,” the musician wrote.

Saturday’s devastating earthquake also arrives at a time when Haiti is experiencing a political crisis following the...
