Turnstyle Productions and Riot Fest Presents Cultivate Festival, Chicago’s First Festival Celebration of Cannabis Culture, August 25-27th at new outdoor venue in the West Loop, The Nursery! This 3-day celebration of cannabis culture includes a diverse line-up of rock, hip-hop, reggae, and punk, with Crumb, The Record Company, GZA, Graveyard, Julian Marley, Pharcyde, Fishbone, Earthless, and more (full lineup below). The festival will feature well-curated food trucks, cannabis education and a shuttle to local dispensaries.
Fast on the heels of last years’ successful festival debut of Riot Pop!! and The First Inclusive Drinking System™, Riot Pop!! Is debuting another first in the beverage space, a new Riot Pop!! CBD + Terpenes drink that includes strain-specific mood enhancing terpenes. Two unique versions will be debuting and available at the fest: Cherry Limeade with Super Lemon Haze terpenes, L-Theanine, caffeine and electrolytes, and Blood Orange with Pineapple Express terpenes with electrolytes.
Cultivate Fest’s bands strike a range, from Crumb’s hypnotic psychedelic rock to Andy Frasco & the U.N.’s reckless blues rock to The Record Company’s punk-inflected rock and Black Lips’ nihilistic garage, to The Pharcyde’s legendary sample-heavy LA hip hop and GZA’s live performance of Liquid Swords with The Funky Nomads to reggae from Julian Marley & the Uprising and Fishbone’s funk, ska, punk and soul. Swedish metallic rock legends Graveyard will perform an exclusive US appearance at the fest. Another highlight is Brant Bjork, former vocalist of the desert rock cult faves Kyuss.
Other features at the festival include vendors, cannabis education and curated food trucks with an eye towards innovation. There will also be a local dispensary shuttle leaving from The Nursery.
Tickets are on sale for the supremely economical initial price of $99.00 per 3-day ticket, about 5 bucks per band, while supplies last. Bundles with tickets and Riot Pop!! CBD and merch will also be available.
