Heineken_House_Coachella_2017

The interactive experience Heineken House is making its return to 2017 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which will take place April 14 to April 16 and April 21 to April 23 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Fresh off his work on Kendrick Lamar’s latest album, George Clinton & The Parliament Funkadelic will play a full two-hour set on April 15 only. Other Heineken House exclusive performances include Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, TWRK, Chris Lake, DJ Sliink, DJ Nu Mark and BJ the Kid.

The following is an excerpt from a Heineken press release:

The Heineken House, open to festival goers ages 21 and over, is more than just unforgettable and legendary musical performances and experiences. For the second year in a row, the House boasts a Sustainable Dance Floor powered by the movement of the attendees during each set. Kinetic energy created when attendees bust a move will be converted into electricity used to power the LED lights of the floor, creating a unique party atmosphere. The more house-goers dance, the more the house will light up.

When not listening to music, a Digital Art Wall inside the Heineken House is dedicated to bringing to life the creative spirit of the festival. The interactive simulation area that allows House visitors to create custom art with a selected stencil, or tag a selfie with a spray can. Coachella attendees will then be able to email their artwork as a souvenir or share on their social channels.

New this year to the Heineken House at Coachella is “This One Is On Us”, an initiative launched in the United States for the first time in March. Consumers can visit a water bar in the Heineken House to receive free cups of water throughout the entire duration of the festival. By encouraging moderate drinking, we can enable festival attendees to get the most out of their festival experience, compliments of Heineken.

“This One Is On Us” debuted for the first time in 2016 and is part of Heineken’s commitment to Brewing a Better World, by offering initiatives that make responsible consumption and sustainable practices easier, accessible and more relevant to our fans.”

Heineken Cold Storage returns to the Festival camping ground this year with its enhanced delivery service format. With Cold Storage On-Demand, campers’ cold beer will be stored for them and then delivered directly to their campsites by messengers when they are ready for it. Taking advantage of Heineken Cold Storage also makes campers eligible for other on-site perks including prizes, beverage tickets or front-of-line access during a performance of their choice at Heineken House.

To participate in Heineken Cold Storage, campers aged 21 and up can drop off their beverages and register for the text message based service. Beverages will be delivered daily from 12-7p.m. and all requests must be submitted no later than 6 p.m. They can also schedule ahead of time by visiting this website.

Live Nation makes deal to build an interim amphitheater in Irvine, California

March 15, 2017

On March 14, 2017, Irvine City Council unanimously approved a plan between Live Nation Entertainment and Five Points Communities Management to build and operate an interim outdoor amphitheater next to the Orange County Great Park to replace Irvine Meadows Amphitheater, which closed in October 2016 after 35 years in operation. The site of where Irvine Meadow Amphitheater used to be is being redeveloped as a residential area. The site of the new interim venue is less than two miles from the now-removed Irvine Meadows. The opening date for the interim venue has not been announced, but Live Nation plans to stage the first concert there later this summer.

According to a Five Point Communities Management press release: “Music fans and community stakeholders, many wearing red ‘Save Live Music Irvine’ T-shirts, filled the council chambers with the overflow crowd watching on closed circuit TVs elsewhere in City Hall. Speakers from all segments of the community, including business, labor, education and the performing arts, as well as several longtime Irvine Meadows season ticket holders, asked the council to approve the plan for the interim venue and accelerate action on a permanent amphitheater on city-owned land in the Great Park. When the council voted 5-0 to approve the proposal, the crowd inside the chambers erupted in applause and cheers.”
