We may not be able to go to shows and festivals right now, but thanks to some incredibly creative minds, a festival is coming, the best part? You don’t have to leave your house.
LA-based alt-rockers The Wrecks will be taking the stage at the upcoming Block by Blockwest Festival on April 25th. They will enter the world of Minecraft along with other incredible artists like Pussy Riot, Citizen, Magdalena Bay, Nothing, Nowhere., Hunny, Fever 333, Oliver Francis, Courier Club, The Polar Boys, Deal Casino, Heart Attack Man and more to deliver a one of a kind virtual festival set for attendees.
Festival proceeds will go to the Coronavirus Emergency Response Fund. For fans that don’t play Minecraft, they’ll also be able to stream sets from the festival’s website.
The Wrecks front man Nick Anderson, said:
Missing tour is very similar to feeling homesick. We’re grateful that BXBW put together an event that allows us to perform on a virtual festival stage and actually see the crowd. I’m excited to walk around and check out the art and merch, as well as listen to what other artists have put together for the event.
This will be The Wreck’s first opportunity to hear songs from their debut full-length live. The Wrecks have been refining their alt-rock sound for years, but are finally ready to show this with Infinitely Ordinary. Due out May 1st via Big Noise, the album is made up of 8 honest tracks that fully encompass what The Wrecks have grown to be since their splash into the music world in 2015.
The Wrecks were set to hit the road this Spring with The Driver Era on a massive North American tour. At this time, all dates have been postponed and fans can be ready to see more dates announced as soon as possible.
