Around Coachella time, we find ourselves searching for the most bangin’ parties. In the previous years, FILTER Magazine, Anthem Magazine, MLF, Vice, Ace Hotel, and many others hosted some of the wildest parties.

It’s a special year for FILTER Magazine as they celebrate the publication’s 10 years of operation. FILTER is hosting their 10th Annual Coachella Kick Off Party, held at the Corona Yacht Club in Coachella. The line up that is currently announced features DJs like Dam-Funk, Theophilus London, Active Child, and Fat Lip. Fliers and more info coming soon.

Stay tuned for more info!

We have some exciting new shows coming up in the next month. From September 29 to October 1, LA’s 3rd annual OohLaL.A. Festival will take place at the El Rey Theatre. Check out Parisian acts such as Ed Banger’s Feadz, Chateau Marmont, DJ Cam, Birdy Nam Nam, and many more! Get your tickets HERE!
