After a monumental sellout 10th anniversary celebration last year, SONIC BLOOM returns to Hummingbird Ranch in beautiful Spanish Peaks County, Colorado for another highly anticipated year. Boasting a lineup with two nights of Tipper, Bonobo, The Opiuo Band, EOTO, and so many more, this boutique festival has long been a breeding ground for talent in the underground electronic music scene.

In order to spread the vibe far and wide, Bloom puts on a special circuit of shows each spring leading up to The Unified Field, which comes to southern Colorado June 16-19. Already this year, the festival has held two monster pre-parties in Fort Collins and Denver, as well as a highly successful campout in Omaha, Nebraska last weekend.

This weekend, Desert Dwellers Live Experience and Kalya Scintilla & Eve Olution Stage Show head to Taos, NM to put on a StarTribe mini-festival featuring acts from around the region in addtion to the two big theatrical shows and Bloom fan favorites. Long a stronghold in Colorado, SONIC BLOOM has now expanded its reach across the greater southwest with the help of smaller factions like New Mexico's StarTribe.

There are a pair of shows highlighting Bloom acts past and present next weeend. Kaminanda and Love and Light take to Cervantes in Denver, CO for a night of glitchy goodness. Simultaneously, Phutureprimitive will be supporting the brand new live act from multi-instrumental master Russ Liquid. Fans who haven't seen The Russ Liquid Test are in for a treat, as the acts hit The Parish in Austin, TX on May 28th.

There are still tickets available for SONIC BLOOM. Visit www.sonicbloomfestival.com to snag your tickets, as the event is likely to sell out once again, this year.
