Pop Press International has previously reported about the unique experience of UTOPiAfest, which provides attendees to watch high quality bands in an intimate camping environment. With tickets capped at 1,800 and selling fast, this year’s festival promises to be the best yet, featuring headliners like Dr. Dog and Ben Kweller, staple Austin acts like Dana Falconbery, and up and comers such as Houndmouth. Now, UTOPiAfest is giving you the opportunity to hang with their crew, enjoy some complimentary beverages, see live music, and win some prizes.
On Friday August 3rd, UTOPiAfest will host an official pre-party from 7-9PM at the Onion Creek Productions offices at 2708 S. Lamar Blvd. #400 (behind the main building). Real Ale Brewing, the official beer of UTOPiafest, will provide beverages as well as sponsors Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Honest Tea, Texas Music Water, Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, Buffalo Trace Bourbon & Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka.
The event will also feature a performance by UTOPiAfest 2012 artist Sour Bridges. The laid-back folk/country five-piece will be performing an acoustic set. As an added bonus, UTOPiAfest will be giving away tickets and merchandise to some lucky winners, so come early and stay late. We’ll see you there.
