Camp Bisco 6
The August 16-18 event at the Indian Lookout Country Club in Mariaville, N.Y., features the first U.S. appearance by psychedelic trance outfit Hallucinogen: In Dub, a dub circus project featuring Simon Posford, Ott and Youth.
Other artists on the roster include Israeli trance band Infected Mushroom, Brazil’s Amon Tobin, Girl Talk, The Juan Maclean, Umphrey’s McGee, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Adam Deitch featuring Slick Rick and The Adam Deitch Project, Bassnectar, The Bays, Digable Planets’ King Britt, Benzos, Allston and many more.
In addition to three nights and two full days of music, Camp Bisco 6 will offer camping, daily “Color Wars” festivities, which have become a signature Camp Bisco pastime and lots of food and craft vendors.
This year’s Camp Bisco will be a green event. The festival will be powered by 100% renewable energy, thanks to sponsors Green Mountain Energy Company and Sustainable Waves. Festival goers will also be able to purchase a “Green Ticket” that will provide 250 kWh of green-e certified renewable energy made from sources like wind and bio-energy.
The Disco Biscuits and not-for-profit organization Conscious Alliance will partner to collect donations of food to benefit local food pantries. Fans who contribute 10 non-perishable food items or a specific cash donation will receive a limited edition print by artist Rob Pea. A similar effort at last year’s Camp Bisco collected more than 1,000 pounds of food.
Tickets for the event are $130 and $145 until 5 p.m. on August 15 and $160 at the gate, and include car camping for all three nights.
