The 2014 BPM Festival officially kicked off this Saturday, January 3rd! With so many artists and showcases to see over the ten-day festival, it may seem a little overwhelming at first. We've narrowed down the wide variety of musical offerings a bit and picked some of the day and night showcases that we think you should check out at the festival this year. The BPM Festival wraps up on January 12th and features over 350 artists and 70 events in total.
Be sure to download the 2014 BPM mobile app for iPhone and Android. The app allows you to view the full list of events and create your own personalized schedule. It also features a festival map, information about the local area, a radio section with official BPM mixes, and much more.
