After months of teasing fans with vague references to The Untz Festival, we at TheUntz.com are thrilled to announce that our inaugural festival will be taking place June 3-4, 2016 at the Mariposa County Fairgrounds in beautiful Mariposa, CA. A special pre-party will kick things off on June 2nd, deep in the heart of gorgeous northern California.

Because we have cultivated such a strong fan base of festivalgoers and music snobs, it took us at The Untz quite a while to get into the game of throwing our own big event. We wanted to wait until we found just the right partners, just the right venue, and lined up just the right musicians. At the end of the day, it's all about the music. Our focus for this festival is to cultivate a sound that is uniquely our own, and also fits the sensibilities of our audience. For that reason, expect a ton of livetronica, glitch-hop, psychedelic bass, future funk, downtempo, and that electro-soul we love to love.

While the focus is on the music, there will be plenty of attractions for attendees of The Untz Festival, including yoga, workshops, and trips to Yosemite National Park, which is just an hour away from the event site. For fans of ours who have been looking for an excuse to get out to California and experience the wild wonder of some of the natural world's greatest beauty, this is your big hint.

Start getting your finances and schedules in order, because our Phase 1 lineup will be dropping before the end of the month. We'll also be putting tickets on-sale with that initial roster of artists, at ridiculously low price points, we might add, so be prepared. Space is limited for this camping festival, so we encourage everyone to jump on the early bird discounts and secure their spot for our historic, inaugural festival.

And remember, it's all about the music.
