Miami: LargeUp Presents Mr. Vegas + More Live At Rice & Peas x WMC [3/21]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Yes, the LargeUp crew is invading Miami for Winter Music Conference this week TONIGHT and the sands are already vibrating from the dancehall tsunami that is about to descend on this sleepy little beach town. After cutting their teeth, cool events-wise, with the recent NY premiere of Storm Saulter's film Better Mus' Come, LU is bringing dancehall superstar Mr. Vegas out again to show Miami what they missed. They are also bringing the entire DJ collective from Manhattan's number one reggae event Rice & Peas--comprising Max Glazer, DJ Maya, Orijahnal Vibez and DJ Gravy & Micro Don--down to make the R&P X WMC tagline a reality. Then there is Miami (p)resident Walshy Fire (Black Chiney/Major Lazer), renowned DJ/producer Dre Skull (Vybz Kartel) and Mad Decent's soca expert Jillionaire. And on top of all that, it will be the LP release event for Vegas' new LP Sweet Jamaica. CHEEzus christ, this is going to be a good party. All I'm saying is, if you're planning to go, I would start stretching your muscles for maximum flexibility right now. If you're already limber...start driving. Buy tickets via Ricochet and get full details via LargeUp.
