Red Bull Public Assembly is coming to Philly to find out who throws the best party. There were originally 3 competitors vying for the chance to throw an all expense paid party at CMJ in NYC this Fall. However, it appears that one has fell through.
The youngest entry in the competition is Jay Yo and his production company Simplefly. Young Jay Yo has picked an all star line up with Philly’s own Amanda Blank headlining and performing live with Baltimore Bass Connection DJ’s Devlin & Darko. Not content, he has added 2 heavyweight NYC dj’s Eli Escobar and Philly’s own Cosmo Baker. Rounding out the experience will be Mad Decent’s own System D-128 on visuals. It all happens Tuesday September 22nd at Woodys, 202 S 13th. The event is free but you must have a ticket. Tickets are available now at Fresh Melt Water in the Piazza and wherever you see Jay in the streets. It’s a Red Bull night, so Red Bull & Stoli are $3 all night.
