Live The American Dream With LCD Soundsystem, Find Out If You’re Saint Motel’s Type And Learn About The Music Biz At The Dallas Music Conference.
Remember Starfest Music Festival? You know, the pop-up musical that was originally scheduled for September with Lil Wayne as a headliner. It seems like Starfest doesn’t want you to remember it either.
Exactly one week ago, the official Starfest Music Festival Facebook page deleted the public event for the festival, now scheduled for November 10 and 11. It was really the only indication left that Starfest was still on — even if we all kind of knew it wasn’t.
Since September, the official website has had the same message about a “GREAT” announcement coming soon and nothing has changed on social media — apart from the Facebook event’s deletion. And at this point, we’re not really sure we’re every going to know what Starfest’s fate will be.
But if you’re looking for things are indeed still happening, then look no further because the list below is full of things that are going down this week. Use this guide to plan accordingly. — Obed Manuel
