Phoenix, AZ – Satisfying a nationwide thirst for live music, Relentless Beats elevated the pod experience that has popped up across North America with a series of socially distanced concerts at Rawhide Event Center beginning in October through early November over five consecutive weeks. The exceptionally well-received events hosted near sold-out crowds and featured the Kayzo Doghouse (October 9 & 10); Adventure Club Duality (October 16 & 17); NGHTMRE (October 23 & 24); RITUAL (October 30 & 31 and November 1); Subtronics (November 6 & 7), and Green Velvet (November 8).

“I had my reservations to do these shows but given the positive feedback following our drive-in series it felt like the right thing to do. I’m pleased to have hosted five successful consecutive weeks where our fans and our team came out to promote safety, unity, and positivity,” says Relentless Beats founder Thomas Turner. “Special thanks to everyone at Relentless Beats & Rawhide who worked tirelessly to make it happen for us. Most of all THANK YOU to our fans for the support and love.”

Further love and appreciation for the fans who supported Relentless Beats over the last five weeks is captured in the minute-long ’Thank You’ video, encapsulating highlights from each show. The video is soundtracked by the upbeat track, “Thin Line,” from Pod Concert Experience alum John Summit.

Following State, Federal, and CDC guidelines for outdoor gatherings, each event included health checks, facemask requirements, hand-wash and sanitation stations, and social distancing, accomplished by issuing groups of five to eight people their own pod. Each 10-foot by 8-foot pod was distanced 6 feet from the next one on all sides. Additionally, the Rawhide Event Center implemented a concession and merchandise system that fans could utilize from their phones with orders delivered directly to the pods, ensuring a safe environment.

“The first in a series of what we hope will be a continuation of Relentless Beats POD concerts were an absolute success. We worked in conjunction with all local health and safety officials to create a safe, sanitized, and energized environment- allowing attendees to feel comfortable returning to a Relentless Beats event,” says Rawhide Event Center general manager, Mark Grado. “Running our steps of operations through our HealthyVerify process and Task Force oversight and after welcoming guests to our facilities over several weeks and with not a single positive covid test means the process, the mask, and enforcement of physical distance can work.”

One year shy of its tenth anniversary, BUKU will return to the iconic Mardi Gras World grounds after back-to-back sold-out events. The 2020 festival will also continue its support of the Upbeat Academy Foundation, a non-profit organization providing New Orleans youth with opportunities to study hip-hop and dance music production, as a portion of ticket proceeds benefit the local arts initiative.

Inspired by the artistic subculture of New Orleans, BUKU is the creative intersection of an underground warehouse party and major urban music festival fusing a progressive and diverse musical lineup with: a real-time Live Graffiti Gallery featuring local painters, one-of-a-kind industrial art installations, celebrated local cuisine, and “pop-up” street-style performances. The event features five stages, each with its own unique vibe ranging from a projection-mapped dilapidated “Power Plant” to the “Float Den” housing the city’s signature Mardi Gras parade floats, and sits on a unique festival site along the Mississippi River just a short distance from New Orleans’ famed French Quarter.

In addition to showcasing the vibrant culture of New Orleans, BUKU is an inclusive celebration of acceptance, compassion and encouragement. The organizers and the BUKREWE community practice a zero-tolerance policy for: “sexual harassment, acts of aggression, racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, religious bigotry… or any other form of hatred or discrimination. BUKU is intended to be a safe space to enjoy music, art, expression and community in complete freedom from any harassment or discrimination. BUKU has stated the following ethos on its website: “We Believe in Those Who Strive to be Dope. Originality, Creativity, Freedom and Community is Our Anthem.”

Tickets go on sale Friday, December 13, 2019 at 10 AM CT and include a variety of options for general and VIP admission as well as travel packages. VIP ticketing provides a host of special amenities that include premium viewing areas, access to the BUKU Rooftop, a quicker entrance lane, VIP restroom stations, as well as an open bar for guests 21+. The festival will again offer payment plans for all ticket types, allowing fans to pay for their tickets in four installments with a 10% down payment. The 2019 event sold out well in advance of the festival; event organizers are expecting the 2020 iteration to do the same and urge its diehard fans to buy early. When purchasing tickets, patrons should be mindful that BUKU is a 17+ event. More information on tickets offerings and pricing can be found at thebukuproject.com.

Fans have the opportunity to purchase presale tickets via American Express or Tunespeak. The AMEX presale starts Thursday, December 12 at 8AM CT and is open to all American Express Card Holders.
