Enter, <u>Mamby on the Beach<\/u>!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Windy City\u2019s only summer beach music festival on Lake Michigan is entering their installment located at Oakwood Beach. And if Summer \u201918 in Chicago getting set to pack a serious punch in the music world with big-name stars on tour (Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Imagine Dragons to name a few) and festivals galore (Country LakeShake, Spring Awakening, Lollapalooza, etc.), <u>Mamby<\/u> is gearing up to be an absolute haymaker.<\/p>\n<p>With music festivals being on the top of the list of many college students, including many of us here at The Edge, here are some reasons why we\u2019re personally excited about <u>Mamby on the Beach<\/u>:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>The Lineup:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Okay, so we obviously have to\u2026and I mean <em>have to<\/em>\u2026discuss this year\u2019s lineup. There\u2019s literally someone for everyone, and some of these artists you can hear on The Edge! Do you love the alternative rock music that we pride ourselves on? Bands such as Cold War Kids, Spoon, AJR and more are slated to perform. Do you bump Hip-Hop Hump Day every Wednesday? Russ, Roy Wood$, and one of rap\u2019s all-time names Common will be hitting the stage as well. Then you take into account DJ\u2019s such as Dixon, Nora En Pure, and Duke Dumont (a personal favorite of mine) throwing it down in separate tents and you have yourself a lineup that will surely make up anyone\u2019s soundtrack of the summer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>The Activities<\/u><\/strong><u>:<\/u>\u00a0Beach Volleyball and Water Balloon fights are two things that are essential for anyone going to the beach, so why not enjoy them while there\u2019s music happening on the festival grounds as well? There will also be several Yoga Sessions for those who want to unwind and keep loose throughout the two-day festival. Not only will <u>Mamby<\/u> have those, but there will also be Henna Tattoo stations, Braid Bars and tarot readings! And to cap it all off, there will be several wellness workshops that focus on anywhere from mental health tips to healthy eating advice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>The Beach:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0I mean, let\u2019s be serious\u2026do we <em>really <\/em>need to explain this one? Great music, great vibes, and all of this along Lake Michigan with a great view of the Chicago skyline? Sign us up ASAP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With many of us looking festivals like Summerfest in Milwaukee or travel down to Chicago for some of the festivals mentioned above, I believe it\u2019s safe to say that <u>Mamby on the Beach<\/u> should find its way on any and all music lover\u2019s summer plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by: Connor Moore The weather is finally warming up, which means two things: the (merciful) end of the school year, and festival season!
