If you subscribe to Brownies & Lemonade text alerts, you might have received a text last Tuesday, July 5, leading you to an RSVP page that seemed extremely cryptic. Lots of strange techlang and interesting imagery obfuscated the truth — Justice was returning to Los Angeles. That information was held in secret until attendees received a confirmation email on Friday, the day before the event on Saturday, July 9. It was then that the rest of the lineup was revealed:
Justice (DJ Set)
2manydjs (DJ Set)
Secret Guests [who ended up being Zedd b2b Alvin Risk]
ARTY b2b Team EZY
Starya
Team B&L
Entry was first-come, first-served so the line started forming around 7:30p at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Beyond the free amenities, attendees were treated to stellar visuals inside the fully projection mapped, 200′ diameter dome in the center of the Coliseum (equivalent to ~14 IMAX Screens), with performances that brought back memories of the bloghaus and OWSLA era.

For those who were lucky enough to attend, it was an unforgettable night.
The mommy-shamers are at it again… Jessica Simpson caused quite a stir with some of her followers on Instagram this week when they noticed her 3-year-old daughter, Birdie Mae Johnson, was still using a pacifier. The little one could be seen sucking on a binky in several pictures posted on the platform Sunday while enjoying a lake vacation with her family. In one snapshot, Birdie sat on her father Eric […]
