After the great success of last year’s inaugural Santa Cruz Music Festival, event organizers promise a second festival next April jam-packed with a diverse and stellar roster of acts. But in advance of the main event, organizers are priming the pump with an official pre-party at the Catalyst. Featuring Far East Movement, the Gaslamp Killer, Dimond Saints, Two Fresh, Gladkill and many more bands and DJs, the two-day party aims to get the masses moving and stoke the flames of excitement about our very own multi-venue music festival.
