Photos From the First Annual POW Fest, Labor Day 2015

The photos were taken by Forest Casey at The Echo, during a day and night festival that changed the course of space, time, and rap music. Oh, and celebrated 10 years as a website.

Few things come more corny than a website reviewing it’s own festival. If you didn’t already think that the artists would deliver great performances than why the fuck would you book them? (The real answer to this question will explain everything you need to know about the festival-industrial complex). Either way, you should’ve been there. There were roughly 16,000 people crammed into a 350 capacity space. Vince Staples hit the “Why You Lying” Vine and brought out Ray J, Bow Wow, and a dancing team of Sprite Cheerleaders. It was truly sensational.

If you want to read a review, Janky Smooth wrote one. If you want to see photos, the illustrious Forest Casey snapped a slew of great shots. See you next year, where our secret guest will be a burning wax mannequin of Post Malone.
