Tips to navigating the Stagecoach crowd this weekend: 🤠 1. Plan ahead and avoid areas near the festival grounds during peak traffic times. 2. Check the festival schedule and plan your activities around the times when music is not playing to avoid large crowds. 3. Go to local parks, museums, or other attractions less likely to be crowded. 4. Stock up on groceries to avoid busy restaurants that may be overwhelmed with festival-goers. 5. Utilize public transit or ride-sharing services to avoid parking headaches near the festival grounds.

Last weekend TWICE's return to Mexico took place. Exceeding more than 100 thousand attendees in a show with two dates in one of the most iconic spaces, Foro Sol. TWICE's visit in Mexico shows many things: 1. The Mexican market is eager for more and more K-pop. In 2023, Mexico saw more than 100 concerts by solo artists and K-pop groups, according to Kmagazine numbers. 2. TWICE went from having its first show in 2019 with 11 thousand attendees to having 110 thousand sold-out. 3. It is the second K-pop group to perform at one of the most iconic venues in Mexico, Foro Sol, having staged memorable shows from artists such as Madonna, Paul McCartney, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, and recently, BLACKPINK. 4. In an era where there is an excessive supply of K-pop groups, TWICE demonstrates the growth of the Latin American market and its significance compared to the United States and Asia. Finally, I share this collaboration between Korea Times and Kmagazine for our first coverage of #Kpop in the Mexican market. Photo by Kat HB and text by Aura Resendiz.

We need more stories like this. Our perception of intangible heritage should not be limited to well established tradition. Music, dancing and most importantly, the spaces that house them, are vital to the culture of a nation. While German techno isn't for everyone, think of the Hacienda in Manchester, now just a block of apartments, and that venue's contribution to the UK's house and rave culture. We shouldn't be putting plaques up to the memory of something: instead they deserve the recognition while they are thriving to protect that heritage and to recognise the limitless impact it can have. https://lnkd.in/efz3x2qE

New Post: How and Why La Onda, the Latin Sister Festival of Bottle Rock in Napa Valley, Was Born - https://lnkd.in/dwjzrXrR - Ten years after its conception, the Bottle Rock festival in Napa Valley, California, will have a sister in 2024. Its name is La Onda, a new annual event focused entirely on the Latino audience. On June 1 and 2, with a multigenerational lineup headlined by Maná, Fuerza Regida, Alejandro Fernández y Junior H, attendees will enjoy two days of music, food and celebration from another cultural perspective: the Mexican culture. Until now, Northern California, despite its growing Latino population, did not have an event of this type and magnitude, which is why the company Latitude 38 Entertainment took on the task of planning and developing a new challenge with the same proven foundations of the Bottle Rock festival. “As promoters we are celebrating 10 years,” says Dave Graham, CEO of Latitude 38 Entertainment, to Billboard Español. “In the beginning, like everything, we didn’t know what was going to happen when we started with the company. However, everything has turned out better than we could have thought, wished, or expected. Now we are ready to do something for our Latino community.” The eclectic lineup of La Onda by BottleRock, which will offer pop, rock, cumbia and regional Mexican on three stages, also includes Farruko, Eslabon Armado, Mon Laferte, Los Ángeles Azules, and many others. (For more details, click here). Maná, in fact, is also headlining Bottle Rock, which will be held just a week earlier, from May 24 to 26. Both festivals are already sold out, and Graham said they expect a total of 150,000 people for the three days of Bottle Rock and 70,000 for the two of La Onda. Below, Graham answers questions about the planning, production deployment, the challenge of holding both festivals with just a few days apart, and the expectations for La Onda’s first edition. Why did you decide to create a Latin music festival? It’s very important for us. We have been thinking about doing this for a long time. The percentage of Latinos who go to Bottle Rock is 14%, and every year they had been asking us to do one. Was there a need for such an event in the area? If you live in Northern California, to go to a festival you have to travel to Tijuana, Rosarito, Los Angeles, or even Las Vegas. Moreover, the population here in Napa is 40% Latino, mostly Mexicans, and the rest of the Bay Area is 30% , so it’s time to celebrate Latin music, Latin food, and that culture in general. Why the name La Onda? Most of the people who will come to La Onda are Mexicans, and although everyone in Latin America knows what “onda” means, it is more identified with Mexicans. Everyone has their own meaning for the word “onda,” but in the end, it has to do with movement, with something fun, and ultimately when we got to that point

The arts can range from plays and galleries to music concerts and festivals. They all add a special touch of class to any occasion. Each requires adherence to specific behavior norms and expectations.   At-home entertaining offers a unique cultural experience, reflecting the host's interests and lifestyle.
