So, maybe it’s not the end of Afterlife after all? The label/event brand announced it will be throwing the first editions of a new series of festivals during the early half of the year. Deemed “a new dimension for its dedicated community” this will undoubtedly bring a smile to the faces of many Afterlife fans around the globe, even if it’s still a big change. The Afterlife festivals will take place in Mexico City and Barcelona on May 9-10 and June 13-14, respectively. At this time, there are no plans for other locations.
Afterlife Festival will be held in two separate locations, and each of them will host an exclusive edition. Both festivals will have two stages and each day of the festival will be curated by either Anyma or Mrak. Reading between the lines, this means there will not be a Tale of Us set to close out any of the nights. Rather than a formal split, what we’re getting is something like a separation that allows the Afterlife brand and community to continue. The events will feature a diverse yet cohesive musical journey with state-of-the-art production and out-of-this-world visuals that we’ve come to expect.
Fans can also expect a lineup that will most likely be made up of artists who’ve become label heavyweights and a decent portion of some of the industry’s top talent thanks to both Anyma’s and Mrak’s position and relevance inside the scene.
Afterlife: A New Chapter
As Afterlife continues to evolve, these festivals mark the beginning of a new chapter, one that honors its origins while expanding and growing alongside those that have continued to support the label and event series from the beginning. Whether the project that brought it to life is to stay together or disband, we do not know. However, one thing appears to be clear: There’s still enough room for the two label heads to come together (albeit separately) and give life to something that will most certainly grab the industry’s undivided attention.
This moment is dedicated to giving back to the Afterlife community and thank them for their continued support over the years.
Pre-sale for the Afterlife festivals will happen on February 26. The general sale will go live the day after. If you’re a fan of melodic techno, wait no more. This will most definitely be one of the most memorable events of the year for the melodic scene. A very special first edition that’s set to showcase the industry giant Afterlife has become.
