SnowGlobe Festival: NYE 2012 in Tahoe

Sometime today the official headliner announcement is going to come down from the team at SnowGlobe Music Festival, a New Year’s Eve three-day music festival celebration in South Lake Tahoe, CA that just jumped on my radar. I am all over this festival, though, so I was quick to jump in with their PR team and ask for the deets ahead of the rest of the general public info leak.

Thanks to their team getting me the info just in time for the release of the morning Tahoe papers, I’ve got it on proper and official authority that Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, Thievery Corporation and Glitch Mob are all set as headliners for the three day event. For any Bay Area fans that are looking for the untz that weekend, the team putting on this festival is bound to deliver a full-on rager of a lineup with at least 40 more bands scheduled to be announced.

We’ll be rounding up all the details on New Year’s Eve shows early next week to make sure everyone knows where they should be planning to rage face. Some decisions seemed easy before and now they seem more difficult…

Update: here is (likely) the rest of the lineup…

Kraddy
Blockhead
Dillon Francis
Mux Mool
NastyNasty
Antiserum
Big Gigantic
Porter Robinson
Ill-Esha
Eliot Lipp
Fishbone
The M Machine
Tipper
Run DMT

Matisyahu Fall Tour Dates and Eight-Night Festival of Light in NYC

Everyone’s favorite Hasidic Jewish reggae-rapper, Matisyahu, is touring heavy this Fall and will once again be hosting his “Festival of Light” Chanukah celebration this December. The eight-night run will include four shows each at Webster Hall and at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, with a different opening act featured each night, including: Glitch Mob, RANA, Dub Trio, John Brown’s Body, Brothers Past, Kid Koala and Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes).

You can grab a sample tune off of his latest album Light from this little widget:

One interesting thing about Matisyahu’s tour is that they’ve teamed up with Posse.com, an Australian start-up that seeks to involve fans as online promoters and just recently launched in the U.S. With Posse.com, fans can get involved in actually promoting bands’ shows and earn rewards for their viral marketing efforts. Although it has a bit of a “pay-for-play” feel to it, it’s certainly an interesting and innovative approach to the ever-evolving realm of online concert promotions. It’s also very “Live Music 2.0,” which we dig around these parts.
