Why Levitation Finally Filled the Fun Fun Fun Fest-Sized Hole in My Heart
I have so many thoughts on Levitation Music Festival. What I’ll start with is this: when I saw the location and lineup, it felt like the first fest that could finally fill the hole in my heart that Fun Fun Fun Fest left behind. The very first outdoor show did just that. There’s something magical about our city skyline behind a stage.
As the weekend went on, bouncing easily between two stages with sunshine outside and arctic AC inside, surrounded by incredible art and top notch vibes, I stopped chasing what I had been missing and started appreciating Levitation for everything it truly is.
I was able to bring Ez with me on Friday thanks to the simple logistics ($10 garage parking next door!). I discovered La Femme, who is now joining my music rotation that’s remained relatively untouched since 2013. And I danced my heart out to one of my all-time favorites, TV on the Radio, who somehow make every show feel like the first time.
Huge thanks to Levitation for the media credentials that let this shortie take it all in up close. You have made yourselves a super fan!
And for anyone who is over the mega fests (I feel you), Levitation is absolutely worth a shot next year.
