With all the activity that took place last weekend around the valley, a few hundred guests at Hard Rock Palm Springs were among the lucky fans who were treated to world class music from the comfort of their poolside loungers.
“Burnt Out” is an understatement after last weekend with ASOAE (A Series of Awesome Events) at the Hard Rock. Kicking off Weekend 1 with some funky future disco vibes was the lounge-y Le Youth on Friday night in the hotel lobby. Adding to the groove were artists Hotel Garuda and Rambo V whose tropical vibes left guests feeling sun-drenched at night.
On Saturday, the iconic poolside location was the scene where party goers were transported from a futuristic time warp to a palm tree-infested utopia with a special set from Le Youth. Preparing festival-goers for his set the following day in the Mojave tent with RAC, artist Penguin Prison delivered a phenomenal closing set.
On Sunday, things got very tropical with marimba-filled tunes from San Diego local artist Rambo V, and then transitioned very smoothly into the melodic sounds from Dirty Bird artist Justin Jay. Following his performance at the Do Lab stage on Saturday, Justin Jay catered to his post set blues by surprising the crowd with live vocals and guitar. Closing Sunday at the pool was AM Only artist, Hotel Garuda, who blew the crowd away with his Banks “Begging For Thread” (Hotel Garuda Remix).
If you missed out last weekend, don’t worry, ASOAE is back at the Hard Rock for a second weekend and has another spectacular line up. Gracing the decks will be Vegas resident DJs Strip and Baroud who you can count on to spin their top 10 hit, Aaliyah – One In A Million (Strip & Baroud Remix) as well as a live performance by Santana C and several others. Parties are scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights in the lobby, as well as Saturday and Sunday afternoon at the pool.
There is no cover charge for the “Burnt Out” events poolside or in the lobby at Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs, but you will need to present your ID. Over 21 only. Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs is located at 150 S. Indian Canyon Drive in the heart of Palm Springs.
