The Tampa Bay live music calendar belongs to EDM this week thanks to Sunset Music Festival and the hordes of official (and not official) after-parties happening in its wake.
At The Ritz, Illenium headlines Saturday’s post-Sunset concert while Alison Wonderland and more will perform in Ybor City on Sunday. On Monday, Gabriel and Dresden and Mat Zo headline an after the after party at WTR on the Courtney Campbell Causeway. More information is available via discodonniepresents.com.
If you’re looking for non-Sunset events, then you might want to watch Irish techno producer and DJ Gavin Lynch (aka Matador) wrap up a May tour in St. Petersburg (other cities on the trek included London, Ibiza, San Francisco and Belfast). The renowned live performer hits Morph on Friday, May 24 and you can get more info on his show with Mattei and MANTi via residentadvisor.net.
