UR1 Festival to be at Bayfront Park by the looks of it.

not sure if im liking this idea... ART BASEL is my fav event in miami... i feel its gonna take away from all the galleries n exhibits...

The team is interesting. David Glass is a good name to have on the art side. And nothing needs be said about Emi.

I don't think it will detract from any of the Basel activities. I mean, for people who want to go to this, great, they can go. If someone wants to skip it and hit the fairs, instead, that's good, too.

I think it is cool because it is likely to introduce new people to visual art, if they do it well, which they likely will, given David's involvement. Obviously, music is a form of art, so it really all fits. The trick is in the execution.

i'm excited but i'm still wondering what exactly it's going to be lol.

i'm guessing some sort of interactive music festival with art displays, etc? kind of reminds me of the ENTER. concept richie hawtin has going in space ibiza this year - different rooms with different things going on in each of them (one where you can download an app that lets you control the lightning of the room, one with more underground music, etc etc).

All that matters... I did suggest Rizzle Kicks to them but typically people ignore my ideas...

I totally agree with you Honky. All they need for the festival to be
a success is one or two big name, national acts. If they don't have
a good lineup I can see them going the way of the Future Classics
Festival.

Nobody gives a fuck about the lineup, they want to know that every other partier in the country is gonna be there.

i'd have to disagree with you. the only reason IDentity is selling tickets this summer is because of eric prydz.

the only time line up doesn't matter is for a huge, established big time festival like sensation or EDC.

but if you're new and trying to establish yourself like UR1, IDentity, etc. i don't see anyway around being successful without a great line up.

i'm hoping UR1 is a tech/minimal show

i've heard rumblings of DC10/Circoloco djs being part of this.
