IMAGINE MUSIC FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES VENUE & NEW DATES FOR 4TH ANNUAL EVENT IN ATLANTA

Imagine Music Festival, a 3-day camping electronic dance music festival in Atlanta, Georgia, has released that they will be returning to the Atlanta Motor Speedway with a new date for the 2017 event. After listening to feedback from attendees, the festival has moved into the weekend of September 22 - 24th, 2017. The addition of camping in 2016 and new site were a hit for the festival, which doubled in attendance yet again with over 60,000 attendees. Located on 887 acres and less than 15 miles south of the airport, the landmark Atlanta site includes: capacity for over 110,000 per day; infrastructure well suited for inclement weather; lush grass fields with trees for the festival’s camping options; shower and bath houses with plumbing, onsite parking; abundant RV spaces with and without full hookups; premium RV spaces overlooking the festival grounds; sky boxes, and more. In short, Atlanta Motor Speedway provides Imagine Music Festival with the infrastructure and amenities yet to be seen by a music and camping festival of its size in the U.S. and is ideal to support the rapidly growing event.

“Last year was a big leap for us” says Iris Presents founders Glenn and Madeleine Goodhand. With so many big changes, it was imperative to listen to our customer’s feedback and involve them in shaping the future of the festival. The #1 request was to move the date away from the Georgia Summer heat in August and the first week of college classes. With Atlanta Motor Speedway’s support we are thankful to be able to fulfill this wish and believe the new dates will make for an even more enjoyable and magical experience.”

Imagine is an all-encompassing, 360-degree sensory experience that blends music, circus troupes, performers, dancers, transformational village, art, workshops, classes and more. Imagine will continue its immersive aquatic fairytale with an abundance of performers, live acts, unique atmospheres, amusement rides, vendors and The Imaginarium’s variety of sacred teachings, ceremonies, and transformational workshops.

This year attendees will also see many improvements including more free water stations, more shade structures, better signage, transportation between stages inside the infield, new VIP programming, more art installations, more splash pools, additional water features with more mermaids, and much more. Stay tuned for the massive Imagine lineup coming this Spring.

Tickets are available now starting at $125 + shipping and fees for a 3-day pass. VIP passes, with additional comforts and luxuries are available starting at $299 for a 3-day pass. Festival with Camping packages are now available to purchase as well with prices starting at $229. Customers who participated in early pre-sales will be able to purchase camping as an Add-On. Tickets are available online at www.imaginefestival.com. Imagine Music Festival is an 18 and over event.

Seven Lions & Ricky Mears remix "Coming Home” in new festival mix

Earlier this year, Seven Lions released the acoustic track “Coming Home” on his Creation EP, a standout for the electronic producer as he continues to prove his prowess over multiple genres of music.  Always dynamic, Seven Lions has now teamed up with Ricky Mears to create a festival mix of “Coming Home” that retains the integrity of the original version but is completely at home on the festival stage - and the dance floor. Seven Lions on the mix: "I wanted to add Coming Home into my sets so I decided we really needed a festival version to bring it into the realm of my shows. I think it keeps the acoustic vibes of the original but definitely makes it more friendly for the dance floor. Ricky came up with some great chords and it was a fun song to hype up into a festival mix.”

The unique style of Ricky Mears has already earned him collaborations with stars like Beyonce and DJ Mustard, and now he lent his signature touch to “Coming Home.”  Says Myers, "I've been a fan of Seven Lions for so long, working with him has been surreal. I can't wait to see what people think about this record!”

With festival season in full swing, you can expect to hear the “Coming Home” festival mix on a stage near you very soon. Make sure to catch Seven Lions at his upcoming festival performances at EDC Las Vegas, Digital Dreams, Lollapalooza and more this summer.

Another major point of recognition was when The International Advertising Association Romania (IAA), the most important national representative of the marketing and communication industry, awarded the festival with the Brand of the Year title. For this year the festival wants to outdo the high expectations after their impactful debut in 2015.

Pay with Blood: An original “Pay with Blood” marketing campaign was initiated by the organizers for the first edition which turned out to have a very big and most of all positive impact on the community. In addition to generating awareness for the scarcity of blood donation in Romania, a total of 1,500 people donated blood, saving the lives of over 3100 people. In Romania, only 1,7% of the population donate blood, making Romania among the bottom three countries in Europe in terms of blood donation. The ‘Pay with Blood’ campaign was nominated in 5 categories in the competition issued by Golden Drum and won 2 Silver Drum prizes in the New, Innovative and Public Relations categories. Another award received for this campaign was from The European Awards for Creative Excellence, Gold in Media and Bronze in Public Relations.
