In its third year, Odyssey Music Festival has tapped Gabrielle Watson to headline a two-day affair that brings together up-and-coming names in EDM.

Watson—better known as A Hundred Drums—blends word music with bass music on 2021’s Enough Is Enough EP which addresses “the struggles of being Black in America, set against the backdrop of police violence, systemic racism, and the protest movement…”

Watson is joined on the bill by Amber Giles (aka Phoenix EDM scene lifer Mija), 2022 Miami Music Week breakout star DJ Susan and more.

Tickets to the Odyssey Music Festival happening at The Factory in St. Petersburg Friday-Saturday, Oct. 4-5 are still available and start at $75.
