5/6 – Dada Life @ Talking Stick Resort
Normally I would never condone violence, but the ‘Happy Violence’ Dada Life promotes is a little different. The only fights are pillow fights, and the arguments are over who’s raging harder. Dada Life is a DJ duo from Stockholm. They’ve released two albums and a large collection of singles since their musical debut in 2006. They’ve become known for their upbeat tunes and fun lyrics that almost create a genre of their own. They throw record-breaking parties; in 2013, Dada Life broke the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest pillow fight and in 2015 they broke another world record for the most people dressed as a fruit in one place. They’re bringing the party to Talking Stick Resort for a day rager like no other.
