“Red Bull, the energy drink company, has also established itself as a bona fide, largely unobtrusive patron of the arts. This month-long music festival at venues across Los Angeles features au courant headliners… and hand-picked up-and-comers.” – The New York Times on 30 Days in LA
CHICAGO, IL (OCTOBER 23RD, 2017) – Red Bull Sound Select is bringing it’s 30 Day festival to Chicago every night in November 2017. Previously held in Los Angeles for the last three years, the month-long music festival will feature 70+ can’t-miss artists in venues throughout Chicago, exclusive to Red Bull Sound Select members.
Long time Red Bull Sound Select curator Fake Shore Drive has announced an incredible line-up celebrating the who’s who of Chicago’s hip hop scene as part of the iconic site’s 10th Anniversary show. In a historic reunion- Big Tymers (Birdman & Mannie Fresh) will join the bill. The New Orleans duo released their last album in 2003 and Big Tymers’ Billboard #1 hit, “Still Fly” was released the year prior. Additional special guests will join Big Tymers and previously announced artists Tee Grizzley. The Chicago based hip-hop blog has been an integral part of the scene as an early champion of artists such as Chance the Rapper, Chief Keef, Mick Jenkins, Lil Durk and Vic Mensa. In 2013 Fake Shore Drive founder Andrew Barber joined Red Bull Sound Select as a curator for the Midwest, helping to elevate the careers of up and coming acts.
