@delunafest We Lost Linkin’ Park (Video & MP3)

Noooo! Due to injuries sustained by Chester Bennington, I regret to inform you that Linkin’ Park will no longer be able to perform at the DeLuna Fest on Sunday night. The DeLuna Fest is offering Sunday refunds for those who bought a one day ticket but what would you rather do: stay at home and play x-box 360 or have this gigantic version of Sunday Funday (Plus, why miss URB featured artists like Cut Copy and K.

Taking most attendants away of the hustle and bustle of the city and the workweek, L.A’s Historic Park became the getaway site to celebrate this year’s Labor Day weekend.

Five Reasons Tomorrowland Trumps EDC

Early Monday morning, Belgium’s Tomorrowland Festival drew to a dream-like close after attracting record crowds (the final numbers showed nearly 200,000 attended over three days this year). Sporadic rain could not and did not deter Dutch, French and Belgian fans of electronic music who flocked en masse to the event, which is quickly emerging as Europe’s answer to the Electric Daisy Carnival and now firmly established as a global DJ circuit “must” for fans and industry alike.

But the truth is Tomorrowland is in many ways better than EDC.  Here are just five reasons to hit this sensorial experiential extravaganza next year (start saving up now, tickets sold out early this year and will again in 2012). …MORE
