Live: Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival (BEMF) returns; finalizes line-up

Jul 10, 09

The all-day juggernaut now in its second annual volume, BEMF, is back with a line-up that scares the ever-loving-existence out of us, some rad toss-ins to sweeten everyone's minds and a very secretive ploy. Happening this year at The Old American Can Factory, BEMF is helmed once again by Famous Friends, the golden ticket-possessing trio of DJs and promoters that brought you the nine-hour inaugural event last year. But this, well, it's 33% longer. Yup, 4pm until 4am. And it's got two stages, doubling last year. And two hours of PBR open bar (4pm - 6pm). We're sort of losing our minds over the list of acts they've been able to secure, like (tip of the proverbial iceberg here) The Juan Maclean, Adventure, Viking, NROTB and Awesome New Republic, but we don't think anyone in their right mindset could argue that this isn't the best line-up of independent music acts of the summer.

About that secret? Famous Friends will be announcing a very special surprise guest headliner via twitter on the day of the show. Follow them on Twitter to receive the latest news in advance. Advance tickets are $25 and can be purchased now. RJD2 will not be performing as previously announced.
