SPILL FEATURE: VUJADAY MUSIC FESTIVAL @ BARBADOS - FESTIVAL PREVIEW

VUJADAY MUSIC FESTIVAL @ BARBADOS – FESTIVAL PREVIEW

APRIL 4-8, 2018

From April 4-8, the stunning Caribbean island of Barbados joins the international destination festival circuit. The debut of Vujaday, a new electronic music festival and the first of its kind to grace the sandy beaches of Barbados, is dubbed “an entirely new experience” that is “like nothing you have ever seen or felt before.”

Vujaday curators consist of the Toronto A-Team of electronic music events like Digital Dreams Music Festival, Electric Island, World Electronic Music Festival, All Day I Dream, Footwork Nightclub, Coda, The Hoxton, The Velvet Underground, and Further Future (USA).

The phase-one lineup for Vujaday is swoon-worthy: Toronto electronic legend Art Department, All Day I Dream founder Lee Burridge, Chicago house hero Green Velvet, San Francisco resident and Dirtybird favorite Justin Martin, Life and Death founder DJ Tennis, Crew Love members Wolf + Lamb, Lonely C (Soul Clap), Nick Monaco and The Fitness & Pony, Hot Creations founder Lee Foss, Brooklyn duo Bedouin, Mikey Lion and Lee Reynolds from Desert Hearts, Berlin-based Korean artist Peggy Gou, Italian electronic DJ Francesca Lombardo, UK house duo Solardo, up-and-coming house DJ Lauren Lane, and Nottingham tech-house producer Latmun.

While venue details are still mum, the festival is selling quickly. Events over the five days will be held in different island locations, including the exquisite Farley Hill as well as on the southern and westerly coasts of the island. Saturday boasts the largest Vujaday event for the savvy festival-travelers.

Those interested in purchasing tickets or learning more about this exotic destination, visit Vujaday’s website. Accommodation packages with local hotels are currently on sale and can be found here. It’s going to be one for the books!
