From The Yuma: Max Styler's 'Freaky 1' Hits Different
In less than two months, the Rawhide Riverwalk is transforming into Arizona Roots. A reggae festival experience from the same people who created the California Roots festival. Arizona Roots will feature two days of euphoric and smooth music from some of the biggest reggae bands in the world. If you’re on the fence about grabbing tickets, here’s 5 reasons to check out the inaugural Arizona Roots festival.
The Lineup
The inaugural lineup for Arizona Roots is stacked to the brim with some of the biggest names in reggae music today. Artists like Rebelution, Katachafire, and Stick Figure have been making music for decades. Their sound is perfected and is sure to be powerful in a live setting. With over 15 different artists, there’s a little something for everyone.
A Different Festival Experience
It’s always a nice change of pace to go to a music festival not entirely focused around dance music. Expect to see and experience different people and different energy in a venue us Arizona festival-lovers hold close to our hearts. Arizona Roots is the perfect chance to discover new music.
2 Days of Music
What’s better than one day of music? 2 full days of music of course! Arizona Roots is taking over Rawhide on Saturday, February 9th and Sunday, February 10th for a weekend full of surprises, fun, and great music.
The Perfect Time of Year
The weather in Arizona in February is always perfect. It won’t be too hot or too cold. It’s perfect outdoors weather and a great time to kick off Arizona’s festival season. Although the actual forecast for the weekend won’t be available until closer to the event, expect a beautiful and comfortable weekend.
The Tickets
One of the best things about Arizona Roots festival is the price for tickets. They’re not too expensive, sitting at only $100 for a general admission ticket for the weekend, and between $45 and $65 for single day tickets. VIP tickets are also available in Saguaro and Camelback packages and include express entry, premium restrooms, and access to special VIP viewing decks depending on the package.
