The Classic West and The Classic East
(July 15/16) and (July 29/30)
Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY
“1 Ticket, 2 Nights, 6 Legendary Bands”
Los Angeles & New York are staged to host THE concert event of the Summer. The Classic West and The Classic East will be the first time these six iconic bands have ever played together on the same stage in two of America’s greatest cities for rock & roll. If clients didn’t feel like trekking all the way out to the Coachella Valley last year for “Desert Trip”, The Classic West & East provides another opportunity to be part of history.
The Eagles, Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers will play both Saturdays (July 15 & 29). Fleetwood Mac, Journey and Earth, Wind & Fire will play both Sundays (July 16 & 30).
The Classic West will be held at Dodgers Stadium, and The Classic East will be held at Citi Field.
Panorama Music Festival
July 28-30, 2017
Randall’s Island, New York
Panorama is celebrating its second anniversary July 28-30, 2017, at New York City’s Randall’s Island Park. Put on by Golden Voice, the same promotion company that has grown 17 tremendously successful years of Coachella, Panorama promises a powerful lineup, well-organized experience on the ground, and interactive arts and technology installations. This year’s line-up features heavy hitters such as Nine Inch Nails, Frank Ocean, Solange, Tame Impala, alt-j, and A Tribe Called Quest.
What does this mean for travel consultants? For starters, Events 365 is offering 3-day and 1-day passes to the festival, both of which are offered at General Admission and VIP levels. Secondly, music festivals of this caliber draw featured artists to music venues around the city during the weeks leading up to and following the event. Reserve tickets for clients at venues around the city to create the ultimate experience in large stage and small stage performances.
Here’s a tip: Hop on the phone, open the Events 365 portal, and give clients the inside scoop on who’s playing where. Showing that you can access these tickets and effortlessly put together an unforgettable program will remind clients to think of you when planning their next show or festival.
Lastly, Unlike Coachella, Panorama does not offer on-site camping, which means that clients traveling from outside New York City will also need transportation and hotel accommodations. Get ahead of the ball by figuring out the logistics of the trip so that your clients can start getting excited about the experience of a lifetime. Better yet, suggest catching a baseball game before or after the weekend of music.
Music festivals have been around for ages, but the experience is constantly evolving and increasing in popularity, especially amongst millennials. Learning about the endless number of festivals and shows that take place year-round, and offering to take the effort out of this event-based travel is a sure-fire way to stay relevant.
