No joke. Accord- ing to event promoter Atomic Logic Audio, the outdoor electronic dance music party will go down at Buckeye Hills Regional Park, 26699 Buckeye Hills Drive in Buckeye, which is a good 45-minute drive from downtown Phoenix. For EDM fans who are into unique rave-like dance events boasting an enor- mous lineup, however, it will definitely be worth the lengthy trek. The otherworldly-themed festival will feature an array of bands, musicians, and DJs from across several genres (including rock, EDM, and hip-hop) performing on multiple stages during the two-day affair, which happens on Friday, March 8, and Sat- urday, March 9. Artists and acts scheduled to perform include drumste producer Mo- mentum (a.k.a. Mozrt), space rock band Space Pharaohs, violin/dubstep producer Josh Teed, drum ’n’ bass mixmaster Det- cord, post-apocalyptic metal group Th3 N9n3, and hip-hop lyricist Noxious. Locals like Nasty Humanz, Excell, Fairydvst, Mor- gain Laine, Blakeland, and DJ Sid will also perform. Meanwhile, there will be fire-spinning ac- tion by the AZ Firebenderz, various work- shops during the day, and live art sessions from such artists as Marsh Sale, Zhoni of the Earth, Andy Adel, and others. The festival kicks off at 6 p.m. on Friday night. Admis- sion is $20 at the door on Friday and $15 on Saturday after 7 a.m. See cosmicfestival.info for more details.
