Last night, Virginia Beach was absolutely LIT.

Even though severe weather and tornado sightings cut the festival short, the vibes were unstoppable at Elevation 27 for the Clipse Family Afterparty. Pusha T and No Malice straight-up dominated the stage, while Gabe Niles set the tone flawlessly, wrapping up the festival with the ultimate energy and vibes.
