One of the more interesting music/art/culture festivals around is Further Future. Billed as a boutique festival and held at a desert location outside Las Vegas, you can think of it as a miniature version of Burning Man meets Coachella, but with a vibe and style that is unique. Last year was the first version and it was amazing, with a fantastic lineup of music along with speakers, wild art projects, and other elements that made it stand out from any other festival around. This year the lineup is insanely good, including Nicholas Jaar, Fort Romeau, Dixon, and many others including L.A. based artists like Daedelus, Low Leaf, The Pharcyde (!!), Tropic of Cancer, and Kid Koala.
