Here we go again folks! In just a couple of weeks the good people from DC to BC bring you their second annual Trillectro Music Festival. Combining Hip-Hop and EDM acts to bring you a day filled with good music, and a line-up that is headlined by hometown heroes Wale and Nadastrom, don’t expect a sophomore slump from these guys. The rest of the line up is no joke either; it includes some heavy weights from both genres including DJ Sliink, Carnage, Salva, A$AP Ferg, King Chip,Travi$ Scott , and Casey Veggies who is the only artist besides Tittsworth returning from last years inaugural festival.

Another big act coming out is Gent & Jawns who are responsible for this year’s biggest trap hit “Turn Up.” Lets not forget that one half of the duo is RVA’s own Long Jawns. The rest of the line up includes Phil Ade, Venus X, Shy Glizzy, Two-9, RDGLDGRN, New Retro, Alex Young, Ghost Beach, Misun, and Goldroom. If you missed out on last year’s show, don’t make the same mistake twice and be sure to be there on August 17 that the DC Fairgrounds.

But wait it gets even better! RVA Mag and DC to BC are teaming up to give you the opportunity to win two tickets to one of the most anticipated shows of the summer. All you have to do is enter below for a chance to win. Hope to see you all there!
