The D.C. festival that's a tacky eyesore

The venue. The weather. The vibes.

@davecatanese#ProjectGlow is an attempt at an electronic music festival in Washington, DC. But while the promoters connection to @Echostage helps draw some big DJs, three years in, the overall vibe is less glow and more gaudy. Watch my candid review. #edm #festivals #WashingtonDC

Washington, D.C.’s Project Glow festival was hatched three years ago with the well-intentioned goal of lifting the capital city’s dance music profile.

Bolstered by the venerable California promoter Insomniac and its Echostage connections, it’s been able to attract top line DJs, from Diplo to Lane 8 for two days of house music in late April.

Having done the festival all three years through a media pass, I finally feel obligated to share a hard but authentic truth: Glow is a gaudy bust.

It pains me to reach this conclusion, but it’s the worst festival I’ve attended among the long list of shows I’ve experienced over the last decade.

The TikTok above explains why.

If you attended any of the last three years of Glow, I’d love to hear what you think.
