Flaming Lips, Killers, Phil Lesh and more play Echo Project

The typical summer music festival is often categorized by a poorly ventilated, cramped tent and sweat-drenched unwashed clothes, not to mention the fermented stench of your concert buddies standing beside you.

Now, we cannot promise that The Echo Project will be any different, but we can hope. With the festival scheduled to take place Oct. 12-14 just outside of Atlanta, the weather will most likely prove to be a little more bearable than the smoldering heat of Bonnaroo, Coachella and Austin City Limits. Furthermore, the 350-plus acre venue/campsite, promises mist tents and potable water available for all.

Still not sold? Then take a look at the line-up, which includes The Flaming Lips, The Killers, Phil Lesh and Friends, The Roots, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Cat Power, the Polyphonic Spree and many more.

The Echo Project’s main focus is to provide a place where people can enjoy themselves while becoming more environmentally aware. The festival will have recycling bins all over the grounds, and will be using energy in alternative forms and conservatory ways. They are also having a clean up for the Chattahoochee River.

Tickets start at $155 and can be found here. Don’t miss out on this amazing chance to enjoy good weather, good music, and a good cause.
