Festival Pass for Thursday, Oct. 31

Happy Halloween! I’m back from my Hawaiian vacation (where I didn’t take any tikis but I did gain some sweet ukulele skills) and we’re rolling right along into the late fall festivals.

This weekend’s big event is part music festival, part mall of the future. It’s ComplexCon, which returns to Long Beach with some cool exclusive merch and performances from Kid Cudi and Anderson .Paak. And now there’s a panel on the fashion of Lil Kim, which is pretty rad, and she’s been added to the lineup.

Other big news this week is that there’s a new fest coming to the Coachella Valley, Countdown NYE tickets are on sale and KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas is on the move. Read on!

Where sneakerheads and hip-hop heads unite

What makes ComplexCon so unique is that it’s kind of like a comic-con with panels and art plus sneakers and other exclusive street wear to buy. And then there’s a killer music lineup to boot. Richard Guzman has more on what you need to know for ComplexCon 2019.

Outside Land Rovers

Have you ever wanted to go to a music festival and learn how to fly fish at the same time? What about doing it in in the desert? The new 4xFAR festival in Thermal is being put on by Land Rover and will have a bunch of outdoors activities as well as music from the omnipresent Anderson .Paak, Young the Giant, Kurt Vile and more. See the full lineup and find out how to get tickets.

Acoustic Christmas is on the move
