Foo Fighters and Kacey Musgraves will be among the headliners at the inaugural Intersect Music Festival at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on Dec. 6 and 7.
Presented by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and produced by Production Club, the festival celebrates the intersection of inspiring musicians and storytellers, innovative art, technology and community.
The idea for Intersect stems from the massive after-party for AWS' annual re:Invent conference, held in Las Vegas since 2012.
The full lineup includes Anderson.Paak & The Free Nationals, Beck, Brandi Carlile, Leon Bridges, H.E.R., Jamie xx, Toro Y Moi, Sophie, Kelsey Lu, JpegMafia, the Black Madonna, Weyes Blood, Snail Mail and Japanese Breakfast.
In addition to the music, Intersect will boast a million square feet of games and activities, including a video arcade, a dodgeball stadium and a ball pit with more than 200,000 balls. The futuristic indoor/outdoor environment will feature lasers, video screens and immersive art and design.
Visual artists from around the world, including Nonotak, Kyttenjanae, Beeple, Ouchhh, and Mike808, will share work throughout the festival, including a six-story video tower dubbed the Monolith.
The festival will also feature Uplift, a drone light show celebrating women in technology. Musgraves will provide creative direction for 500 Intel drones programmed and flown by a female-led team.
Wolfgang Puck, Best Beverage Catering and Backyard BBQ will be among the caterers.
"We've built a pretty amazing and unusual live music experience at our annual AWS conference that attendees have loved; and with Intersect, we're excited to extend this unique event into a two-day, public music festival," said Ariel Kelman, vice president of worldwide marketing, AWS.
