Big AZ Music Festival highlights local scene
Arizona Daily Wildcat
Thursday, September 22, 2005
In its sophomore year, the Big AZ Music Festival celebrates not only the local music scene but also exposes local music advocates to a selection of relatively unknown bands from across the country.
It is a chance for of-age and underage students alike, as well as other Tucsonans, to mingle and listen to some great music.
Local bands will be set up along Fourth Avenue, Congress Street and University Boulevard. Many of the events and shows are all ages, but those located within bars and other traditionally 21-and-over establishments will in fact be 21 and over.
Wristbands are $7 in advance and $10 the day of and include access to all events (except those that are age restricted), discounts and free tram transportation for the day throughout the festival.
The Big AZ Music Festival is Saturday starting at 4 p.m. Wristbands can be purchased at Plush, 340 E. Sixth St.; Centennial Hall, 1020 E. University Blvd.; Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress St.; Tucson Downtown Alliance, 52 W. Congress St. or online at www.bigazmusicfestival.com.
