Chicago S First Red Bull Music Festival Is All Over The Map With Pusha T Makaya Mccraven Merzbow And More

Festival season ain’t over till Red Bull says it is. The energy drink’s music operation has so far thrown six festivals in New York and one in Los Angeles, and in November it’ll host a similar event in the midwest for the first time. (Last year’s 30 Days in Chicago—one big show every night, with Red Bull’s muscle and money allowing for relatively inexpensive tickets—was a different beast.)
