Our good friends over at 88 have released some juicy details about this year’s Forward Festival programming. It’s been confirmed that the five day DC mini-festival, now in its fifth year, will host two label showcases — Jus Ed’s Underground Quality and SF-based Frite Nite — as well as a back-to-back DJ set from Detroit legend Rick Wade and his former label mate Dan Bell. Festival goers will also be treated to the bass heavy sounds of Distal and what should be a very special Jeff Mills hybrid Live/DJ/AV performance at U Street Music Hall. As has been the case in previous years, the festival will also include various workshops, art installations and auxiliary events. For more details check out the full announcement here.
Festival passes are currently $90 – the price will be going up soon so grab yours today if you haven’t already.
