Major EDM stars are on their way to South Florida for two new dance music festivals in downtown West Palm Beach.
The Palm Tree Music Festival is scheduled to bring Calvin Harris, Kygo, Sofi Tukker and others to the waterfront on Feb. 14, with presale tickets available at 10 a.m. Friday.
Presale prices will be $129 for general admission and $299 for VIP. Registration for the presale is open now through 8 a.m. Friday at PalmTreeMusicFestival.com/wpb.
The festival is being produced by Palm Tree Crew, the entertainment and lifestyle brand co-founded by Norwegian DJ Kygo, who has hosted events in The Hamptons, Aspen, Napa and St. Tropez. Palm Tree Crew describes this event as an “intimate” experience with limited tickets and “a more sophisticated setting.”
A partner in Palm Tree Music Festival is Related Ross, founded by developer and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, and the largest commercial-property owner in downtown West Palm Beach.
“This festival adds a vital entertainment element to the city’s cultural and nightlife scene, complementing our investments in dining, art and community-first experiences,” Ross said in a statement.
