[Video] Jambalaya Fest Recap

Last month's three-day Jambalaya Fest in Texas featured an amazing lineup of Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, RL Grime, Zeds Dead, Big Boi, and G-Eazy. The promoters for the event, Score More, recently released a small video recap of the shows. The festival sounded amazing for Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt alone, but with big names like Big Boi and RL Grime attached, the shows must have been extremely memorable for everybody that attended. Hopefully the "traveling festival" will come to Chicago soon.

Jambalaya Fest Austin Changes Venues from The Backyard to Austin Music Hall
Jambalaya Fest, a three date, three city festival in Texas, is featuring a stellar lineup including EarlWolf (Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt's collaboration), Zeds Dead, Big Boi, RL Grime, and G-Eazy. The festival originally featured AraabMUZIK, but he had to back out due to unforeseen circumstances. Bigger news, however, involve a venue change in Austin, TX from The Backyard to Austin Music Hall.
So for Austin readers interested in attended Jambalaya Fest next week, schedule your plans accordingly. The official press release is below. BUY TIX HERE
"Our lineup for Summer 2013 was scheduled to play 3,000 capacity venues, but because Austin Music Hall had a previously confirmed event we looked to make an exception for Austin with The Backyard. However, when the Music Hall became available it made sense for us to make a move to downtown Austin to keep the similar model we've applied in the other markets. We love The Backyard and look to produce an event there soon."
