Colorado Drive-In Rave to Feature Headlining B2B Set by Virtual Riot and Barely Alive
The lethal duo of Barely Alive and Virtual Riot are reuniting for a B2B set of epic proportions. The dubstep fan-favorites are performing at “Amplitude 500,” a socially distanced drive-in rave scheduled for this Saturday, October 3rd.

You Can Win Free VIP Tickets to Lost Lands or Bass Canyon by Checking Your Voter Registration
Someone who just launched a new record label with 118 songs, headlined a major virtual music festival, and trended on Twitter doesn’t usually have the time or energy to focus on other projects. Excision, however, isn’t just anyone. In a new interview with Forbes about the launch of his new Subsidia Records banner, Excision waxed poetic about a number of intimate topics. In addition to delving into highlights from his career, advice he’d give to his future self, and the inspiration behind Subsidia, he also stressed the importance of voting ahead of the impending federal election. “I really want everyone who reads this to register to vote. This goes for every country in the world,” Excision said. “There is so much discussion over changes that we want to ma...

Pendulum Take Their Show to the Middle of the Sea In One-of-a-Kind Live Performance
Livestreamed and recorded sets during quarantine have seen artists taking their performances to a variety of new locations, from being submerged in a backyard pool to towering above the Grand Canyon. Now, Pendulum has taken their live show to similarly uncommon ground, in the middle of a strait that separates the Isle of Wight from England’s mainland. The iconic drum & bass group recorded a set on Spitbank Fort, a Victorian military complex isolated off the coast. Prior to the recording, which included a full pyrotechnic setup and lasers, mariners were warned ahead that a robust visual performance would be taking place in the area.
