Red Bull Music Festival is gearing up to host two festivals in November 2019; first there is the debut Atlanta festival and second, there is the return of the Chicago fest.
Similar to Lollapalooza, Red Bull Music Festival has been making a name for itself by combining content creation and branding with brand-congruent artists and lectures. For both cities, in addition to traditional concerts, local artists will curate exhibits, immersive experiences such as house parties are on the schedule and there will be lectures on the histories of music (house and trap respectively) in each town.
Here’s what else you need to know.
Red Bull Music Festival Atlanta runs from November 1 through 15, while the return of Red Bull Music Festival Chicago runs from November 17 through 30.
The Chicago show reflects the tastes of the local community and local artists, including a concert featuring Lupe Fiasco bringing us all back to his classic album Food & Liquor. The Atlanta show features Teyana Taylor and her memorable songs and dance moves. Tickets for individual performances and lectures at a variety of venues can range from $15 to $30; some events are free but each event’s separate registration page lists specific prices and registration instructions. A number of popular, intimate venues are on the location list.
