Just when you thought we might make it through a summer without a new festival promising a “truly authentic, fresh and unique musical experience” with decent food, Burning Man-like art installations, and DJs performing inside a “mind-blowing spire that shoots giant 30-foot flame balls from its peak,” the first-ever Catalpa Festival has done just that. Set to invade Randalls Island on July 28-29, “the year’s most unique and original music and lifestyle event” (their words, not ours) will feature sets from the Black Keys, TV on the Radio, AraabMUZIK, the Big Pink, and a host of others that happen to hit that elusive Coachella-on-a-budget demographic. Oh, and Snoop Dogg will be performing Doggystyle in full, ATP style.
