The UNTZ Festival

If you are a festival goer interested in a new festival to dive into this festival season i would encourage you to look into a fest called the Untz festival.  The Untz festival is an up and coming music festival located in California.  The festival is one similar to that of the south by southwest festival located in Texas that just recently took place.  The festival prides itself on bringing it's attendees the newest and most up and coming artists and performers in the electronic music world.  Much like the south by southwest festival which provides mostly up and coming rap, it is a fairly cheap entry ticket to see some of the coolest sound that will be entering the festival world in the next few years.  Also it gives its attendees a big opportunity to see many self-proclaimed artists as well as performers across the grounds.  These performers are basically hired by giving them free entry to the fest so that they can show you their special talents, and it keeps the festival costs low because the Untz are not actually paying these performers, rather just giving them free entry into the festival.   One of the very cool aspect of this festival is that it takes place in the mountains.  This gives attendees almost a guarantee of terrific weather to flounder around in, as well as gorgeous view from the campsite as well as all the stages.  The festival features an exclusive swimming lake that is provided for those who chose to go VIP into the festival.  It allows attendees a much needed break and relaxation opportunity after the festival closes, or before it opens in the afternoon.  For those of you interested in the event i will post a picture of the festival lineup as well as a comprehensive list of packing items that the people hosting the festival would suggest bringing.
