In addition to a full day of music, attendees can enjoy Christmas libations, holiday-inspired specialty cocktails and festive décor, with Santa onsite to spread good cheer.
Built around the music, fashion, drinks, games, and shared pop-culture memories of the pre-streaming generation, Dial Up Festival brings the Y2K era back to life through the sounds, visuals, references, and social experiences that defined a generation raised on mixtapes, burned CDs, flip phones, landlines, mall culture, music videos, disposable cameras, VHS rentals and early dial up internet.
