YetepSummer is here and that means it’s time to enjoy the finer things in life. Lounging poolside, fruity drinks with paper umbrellas, and most importantly, BBQs. How do you elevate the generic backyard BBQ? Add some equally delicious beats. This Summer Dirtybird has got you covered! The crew announced their 2018 BBQ series featuring the “smell of smoked meats, the refreshing taste of a cold beer on a hot summer day, and the sound of your favorite beats banging in the distance.” Sounds pretty good, right? This year you can catch the show in Austin, Oakland, and now L.A., which was the city vote winner of 2018.

Joining head dirtybird Claude VonStroke is a whole flock of talent including Justin Martin (Austin & Oakland), J.Phlip, Christian Martin, Worthy, and Ardalan. Plus Los Angeles gets a special treat with newly formed super-duo WAJATTA (Reggie Watts & John Tejada), Justin Jay, and a B2B with Dateless and Lucati. Additionally, a little bird tells me the L.A. stop will be more food festival than just BBQ. With this impressive lineup of dope house music and food, it’s time to leave the sweltering heat of AZ and get down with the Dirtybird crew.
