WIUX AND BCEC PRESENT CULTURE SHOCK 2014
Full Lineup and Festival Activities Announced
BLOOMINGTON, In.--WIUX and the Business Careers in Entertainment Club (BCEC) have come together to present the 2014 Culture Shock Music Festival on Saturday, April 12 in Dunn Meadow.
Culture Shock has traditionally been the largest event held by WIUX since 1986, and with the help of BCEC, Culture Shock 2014 is anticipated to be one of the best festivals yet. This year’s headliner will be the up-and- coming indie artist Mac DeMarco, who was named “Best New Music” by Pitchfork in 2012 and who’s newest album, Salad Days, will be coming out April 1. The lineup will also feature Royal Bangs, Tunde Olaniran, and the local Bloomington artists Drekka, Sleeping Bag, and Little Timmy McFarland of Flight 19.
Along with its variety of musical entertainment for the day, this year’s Culture Shock will also feature a philan- thropic aspect. Guests will be encouraged to make donations at the festival with all proceeds going directly to Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard to help their efforts in providing health food options to the entire Bloomington community.
Culture Shock is a free music festival for all ages. Festivities will begin at 12 p.m. and last until 10 p.m. Food and drink will be available for purchase at the festival along with a variety of artwork.
Promotional events will be held weekly until the date of the festival that will offer opportunities to win free Culture Shock merchandise and a chance to meet with the musicians. Information for After Shock, the Cul- ture Shock’s nighttime musical supplement, will be available within the coming weeks.
