Oh Wow Company
Now in its third year, the Dreamy Draw Music Festival returns to rock Old Town Scottsdale on November 7 and 8. Headliners include The Lumineers, Father John Misty and Vampire Weekend.
Four stages will be alive with bands throughout the festival’s hours on both days, and some of the other performers include Hovvdy, Bummer Girl, Saint Motel and Local Natives. Barrett and Chromeo will be doing DJ sets on Saturday.
Riding high on two sold-out years, the event has added enhancements to make its music-led, multisensory weekend-long party bigger and even more thrilling. Some of the changes include a reimagining of the layout to include enhanced amphitheater stages, and moving the Bronco Stage to Scottsdale Stadium to host a bigger lineup and expanded viewing areas.
Attendees looking forward to tasty eats and beverages can expect “elevated offerings,” per the festival promoters, Oh Wow Company, with a focus on a “Southwest-forward food and drink program.”
