Imagine this: You’re sitting outside letting the sun beams sink into your skin as the first bass notes of the day begin pulsing through your bones, a belly full of tacos and craft beer in hand, you close your eyes, become one with the collective consciousness of the crowd around you as the conversation of good friends fade into a moment of solace, relaxing deep within your mind, there’s nothing but you and the pervasive vocals of St. Beauty as rich, complex synths rain down around you, clarity washes over your body, this is heaven sent, this is what you’ve been waiting for, this is Oaktopia. Now come back to reality and get ready to experience this immersive music festival with another set of recommendations from your friends at We Denton Do it, we’ll help you get that second day schedule on track.
