A Festival's Journey: From Inception to Revival
MIKE first launched the Young World festival in 2019, creating a platform for diverse musical talent. The event experienced a temporary hiatus during the global pandemic, and last year's iteration faced an unexpected cancellation without a public explanation. This year marks a significant return, with MIKE's set featuring the much-anticipated stage debut of the Band of the Century, his live ensemble first assembled for his acclaimed Tiny Desk Concert.
Recent Collaborations and Tour News from MIKE
Earlier this year, MIKE engaged in a notable collaboration with Earl Sweatshirt and the production collective Surf Gang, resulting in Pompeii // Utility—a unique split album reminiscent of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. However, the planned North American tour supporting this project was recently postponed, with new dates yet to be announced, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
Max B's Resurgence: A Year of New Beginnings
Following his release from a 16-year incarceration last November, Max B has made a powerful return to the live music scene. The month after his release, he dropped the mixtape Public Domain 7: The Purge, which featured collaborations with prominent artists such as A$AP Rocky and Kehlani. His active presence on the live circuit underscores a vibrant new chapter in his career.
