Hey there, music lovers and Halloween enthusiasts! Can you feel that eerie excitement in the air? That's right, Buzzards & Bees is back for 2024, and let me tell you, it's going to be wickedly awesome!
Buzzards & Bees Schedule 2024
Mark your calendars for October 18-19, 2024, because Downtown Provo is about to transform into a haunted musical paradise. Picture this: 11 venues, 80+ bands, and an entire weekend of Halloween-themed shenanigans. It's like trick-or-treating, but instead of candy, you get a smorgasbord of incredible live music!
Buzzards and Bees Lineup 2024
From indie rock that'll make your bones rattle to electronic beats that'll raise the dead, we've got it all. And let me spill some tea – we've got Seaslak, Cinders, Ryan Innes, and No Such Animal on the lineup. But shh... keep an eye out for some ghostly surprise performances too!
Goth Prom: Where the Night Comes Alive
Okay, let's talk about Friday night, aka the Goth Prom at Velour Live Music Gallery. Picture this: you, decked out in your darkest, most dramatic outfit, surrounded by fellow creatures of the night. From 8 PM to the witching hour, we'll be dancing like no one's watching (except maybe a few friendly ghosts).
DJ KiD MACHiNE will be dropping beats so good, even zombies would bust a move. And don't even get me started on the "scary-oke" – it's karaoke with a twist that'll have you howling with laughter. Oh, and did I mention the Goth Prom portraits? Trust me, these pics will be way cooler than your regular prom photos.
Tickets are just $13, but fair warning – this shindig sells out faster than you can say "Beetlejuice" three times. Don't be the sad ghost left outside!
Saturday: A Musical Trick-or-Treat Extravaganza
Now, Saturday is when things really get wild. From 4 PM until the clock strikes midnight, Downtown Provo becomes your personal music festival playground. One wristband gets you into all 11 venues – it's like having the key to a treasure chest of tunes!
You'll be bopping from stage to stage, discovering new favorites like Strange Familia and The Mellons, or rocking out to Michael Barrow & The Tourists. And between sets? The streets come alive with performers that'll make you wonder if you've stepped into a magical Halloween town.
Top Tips for Maximum Spooky Fun
- Wristband Pickup: Snag yours at Velour during Goth Prom or at The Gem Studio HQ (12 W Center Street) from 4 PM Saturday.
- Parking: Free parking in the parking garage next to Wells Fargo and Zions Bank on University Avenue or near 400 W 100 S. – because the only thing scary should be the music, not the parking fees!
- Secret Shows: Keep those eyes peeled on the Buzzards & Bees socials. You never know where a ghostly gig might pop up!
