Waiting to speak to Simian Mobile Disco backstage at the Hoxton, I got to meet Chris, Diplo‘s tour manager who gave me this pithy hair advice. “Dude, it’s like a mushroom cloud on the sides but I wanna see it more nuclear on the top! You need MORE volume!”
What a perfect way to lead into this huge announcement!! This summer marks the fifth installment of the incredibly successful cross-country phenomenon that is the MAD DECENT BLOCK PARTY, this year presented by Puma®. Tearing through the USA with stops in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and new addition Toronto Mad Decent is joining forces with Puma, Red Bull, Heineken and SPIN to provide a day of musical performances with FREE admission, delicious food, carnival games and a party for families and club kids alike! Every block party will have a completely different lineup with surprise guests popping up in each city.
