Re-live the magic and excitement of the Road to SONIC BLOOM kickoff event from Chicago, IL last month. Kalya Scintilla & Eve Olution headlined a bill that included Mr. Bill, ill-esha, Plantrae, Spankalicious, Defunk, and more at the beautiful Copernicus Center. Tomorrow, April 30, the Road to SONIC BLOOM returns to the Abbey Pub in Chicago for Rd 2 with Andreilien, kLL sMTH, and AtYyA.

The Road to SONIC BLOOM tour marches on from Chicago to the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in Wappinger Falls, NY, the site of Alex and Allyson Grey's psychedelic music retreat. Then Andreilien and crew turn their attention to New York City, NY at Sono on May 5, and a new date was just added May 10 at District N9NE in Philadelphia, PA. Kinnection is still on the agenda, as are dates in Boston and Newark, so make sure you get on board with those events.

The tour all leads up to the 10th family reunion SONIC BLOOM, christening a new location in Rye, CO from June 18-21. Massive acts are on the bill like STS9, Shpongle, Emancipator, Random Rab, Talib Kweli, Desert Dwellers, The Trancident (4 members of String Cheese Incident reinterpreting beloved SCI songs with an electronic twist), Bluetech, and too many to mention. Festival passes will increase May 4 at 11:59pm, so make sure that you sneak in at the incredibly low price while it lasts.
