Escape Music Festival Goes To Governor’s Island

ESCAPE MUSIC FESTIVAL TO CHANGE LOCATIONS TO
GOVERNOR’S ISLAND BEACH CLUB

UPGRADED FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE TO INCLUDE FREE FERRIES,
LATER CURFEWS AND YOUNGER AGE LIMIT

Due to circumstances beyond the control of festival organizers, Escape Music Festival is now being held at Governor’s Island Beach Club. Still taking place on the same weekend as originally planned, Oct 11-12, the new location has allowed organizers the unique opportunity to upgrade the fan experience, from offering free ferry service from 10 South Street in Manhattan (adjacent to the Staten Island Ferry) to extending the event curfew to midnight each night to lowering the age limit to 18+. Festival organizers would also like fans to know that this venue change has significantly decreased the supply of tickets and recommends that fans buy theirs in advance.

“We definitely turned a potentially unfortunate situation into something amazing,” said Balearic Entertainment’s Merritt Quirk. “Once, we were given the chance to bring the festival to Governor’s Island Beach Club, we all quickly realized that this was actually a blessing. The new venue allows us to give so much more to the fans. We always knew it was going to be a good event. Now we know it’s going to be an incredible one.”

Escape Music Festival’s lineup is masterfully curated by Brooklyn’s The Most Definitely and San Francisco’s Beautiful Buzzz. The Most Definitely is a dedicated advocate of indie music culture. Based out of Brooklyn, The Most Definitely is a music blog, record label and live event producer devoted to the early stage development of our favorite indie artists. Beautiful Buzzz is a new music blog and event production company based out of San Francisco, CA. Their goal is to expose up-and-coming artists who they believe are on the cutting edge of indie pop, electronic, and dance music.

Sunday’s Elrow stage is presented by Barcelona’s Elrow, a landmark institution in the Spanish and European dance scene. The stage will be transformed with Elrow’s immaculately constructed visual theme and lineup. This marks Elrow’s first excursion into the USA.
