The Good Kind Of Riptide
• Entercom Miami continues to bask in the reflected glow of the success of its second annual Riptide Music Festival Powered by Ford, which drew 37,000 happy people to Fort Lauderdale Beach to experience two days of epic artists, amazing global cuisine and wine along with picture-perfect weather that even included a rare SuperMoon™!
Saturday brought out 25,000 Alternative and indie rock fans to witness a bunch of memorable performances, including showstoppers from Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness, Saint Motel, New Politics (lead singer David Boyd pictured here), PVRIS, Portugal. The Man, Weezer and a killer set by Cage the Elephant. Sunday’s show had a relaxed, all-ages party feel, as 12,000 fans sang along with Morris Day and The Time, Salt-N-Pepa, Boyz II Men and KC and The Sunshine Band.
“This year’s Riptide was a magical experience that even blew away our highest expectations,” said Von Freeman, Marketing Director of Entercom Miami and the Executive Producer of Riptide, who added, “To increase our audience attendance by 12,000 people in one year is truly a testament to the incredible performers that participated and the expanded experience we created for our patrons. We are excited to get planning our third Riptide!” Riptide is produced by the dedicated crew of Entercom Miami Alternative WSFS (104.3 The Shark), Classic Hits WMXJ (102.7 The Beach), AC WLYF (101.5 Lite FM) and Sports-Talk WAXY (790 The Ticket).
