Soundset Festival 2015: Music Programming Announcement


Music festival season is going to be in full effect soon, starting off here in the States for most usually with South by Southwest (SXSW) in March and rolling steadily with all sorts of events throughout the fall.

The latest music festival announcement that has just come through our way as of late is via the folks of the Soundset Festival in Shakopee, MN.
