As February kicks off festival season in the Bay Area, we are lucky to get some of the top artists and performers from around the globe. Out of these many shows and festvials there are five top concerts and festivals you must check out in the area, featuring big names like TOKiMONSTA, Afrojack, Ekali, Datsik, and many more. If you are given the chance to go to any of these events definitely take it, they are all ones not to miss out on.

   4. About: TOKiMONSTA, after being in numerous radio programs such as BBC Radio1 and newspapers such as the LA Times, has made a name as a top DJ of our time. TOKiMONSTA (Jennifer Lee) is known around Los Angeles and now worldwide for her unique sound, mixing indie electronic, R&B, and dance music. Accompanying TOKiMONSTA for the night is CRi, a male artist from Montreal, Canada. With a new EP coming out this February, CRi is sure to blow every attendee away.

2. Crush San Francisco

   2. Genre: Electronic, Trap, House, Dance, Hip-Hop, Techno
   3. Tickets: http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/1C0051887D3616C3
   4. About: Crush San Francisco is an annual show created by Insomniac to celebrate Valentine’s Day. This year’s lineup features Afrojack, Andrew Luce, Illenium, Shaun Frank, Team EZY, and Wiwek. Though all of these artist’s are equally talented and provide many different sounds for just one venue, the performer to keep an eye out for is Andrew Luce. Andrew Luce provides experimental sounds that create a relationship between the listener and the song. With every beat matching your heartbeat, Andrew Luce will take you to another place during his set. All six performers will make tickets well worth the price, but make sure not to miss a second of Andrew Luce, you will regret it if you do.

   4. About: February 16, just two days after Valentine’s day Joyryde, Dr. Fresch, Aryay, and Sam F. are brining their beats to the bay area. The venue, Ruby Skye, is a fun club located in the heart of the city, the perfect venue for the deep house and electronic sounds produced by the four artists. Even though a few days off, this could be a great Valentine’s gift for your significant other!
4. Wobbleland festival
   1. Where: City National Civic (San Jose) February 17-19
   2. Genre: Electronic, Dubstep, Hip-hop, Deep House, Techno
   3. Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wobbleland-2017-ticke...
   4. About: Wobbleland San Jose is a three- day festival thrown annually in February to kick off festival season. This year’s lineup includes Snails, Ekali, REZZ, Krane, Alexander Lewis, Luca Lush, Josh Pan, Phiso, Aweminus, Definitive Dubs, Sam F, Yntendo, Zomboy, Party Favor, Kayzo, Jackal, Bleep Bloop, Midnight Tyrannosaurus, Jameston Thieves, YOOKiE, Datsik, Valentino Khan, Joyryde, TrollPhace, Trampa, Quix, Woolymammoth, and Bishu. Out of all of these amazingly talented artists, the number one to look out for in my opinion is female DJ, REZZ. REZZ, or Isabelle Rezazadeh, is a twenty year old female DJ who is quickly taking the electronic music scene by storm. Over the past few months REZZ has blown up from an underground DJ to one with a much more well known name. After seeing her at Countdown NYE in December, this DJ is someone who definitely has my attention. If given the chance to attend Wobbleland, see as many acts as you can, but definitely do not miss REZZ.

   2. Genre: Hip-hop, trap, House, Dance, Rap
