ALL MY FRIENDS–the new major music festival coming to downtown Los Angeles this Weekend. Joining the fest’s previously announced ‘Big Six’ headliners RL GRIME, GUCCI MANE and JHENE AIKO (Saturday, August 18) and M.I.A., JAMIE XX and ARMAND VAN HELDEN (Sunday, August 19) are: ABRA, ANNA LUNOE, BARCLAY CRENSHAW, CHRIS LAKE, CHRIS LORENZO, CLAPTONE, CUT CHEMIST, DESTRUCTO, DEUX TWINS , GODDOLLARS, GOLF CLAP, GRANDSON, JASON BENTLEY, JUBILEE, JUSTIN MARTIN, LA LEAKERS, LITTLE BOOTS, MIKE B, MONTE BOOKER, MOON BOOTS, DJ NU-MARK, PETE TONG, PHLEGMATIC DOGS, RAVYN LENAE, SHECK WES, SMOKEPURPP, SOUL CLAP, SPLIT SECS, THEM JEANS, WAX MOTIF and YO GOTTI.   

ALL MY FRIENDS’ inaugural festival will be situated on the edge of Downtown Los Angeles’ Arts District at ROW DTLA, a creative space and shopping destination. Its three stages will be immersed in the industrial backdrop of one of Los Angeles’ major produce markets and former home of American Apparel (whose slogan‘Made In Downtown LA’ still is prominently displayed on one of ROW DTLA’s main buildings). The revitalized historic setting makes a unique location for LA’s only major music event happening in the city this summer.

Here music fans will get to experience the true sounds of what is cool and current. The ALL MY FRIENDS line-up highlights hip-hop acts Yo Gotti, Smokepurpp and Sheck Wes, R&B artists Ravyn Lenae andDarkwave Duchess Abra, cutting-edge producers Claptone, Soul Clap, Jubilee, Monte Booker and Grandson, A Club Called Rhonda founder GodDollars, and LA favorites Jason Bentley, Cut Chemist, DJ Nu-Mark and LA Leakers just to name a few. Festival curator Gary Richards (aka DESTRUCTO) recently told Hilary Hughes of Billboard (5/18), “It isn’t on ’10’ the whole time. People can come and relax; they’re not wound up from beginning to end.”   He adds, “All the cool people in my life, I know through music… ‘All My Friends’ really has a deep rooted meaning.”
