A limited amount of discounted Weekend Passes are on sale now.
Known for its unique brand of comedy and championing of emerging musical artists through their annual Singles program, Adult Swim will add this festival to its already successful line-up of events which have included: Adult Swim on the Green, the Samurai Jack Premiere and the recent Thrashtacular heavy metal concert series. The Adult Swim Singles Program has generated nearly 20 million SoundCloud streams over the last three years, featuring more than 100 artists.
"Adult Swim already does television like no one else.

About Run The Jewels
El-P and Killer Mike, two of the most distinctive and celebrated names in rap, might have seemed like an unlikely pairing on paper, but the duo subverted and pulverized all expectations with their critically lauded Run The Jewels in 2013. Tapping into the creative synergy they'd discovered in 2012 on Mike's R.A.P. Music album (produced by El-P) and El's Cancer 4 Cure album (featuring Mike), Run The Jewels cemented their musical alliance with a set of uncompromisingly raw, forward thinking hip-hop, garnering limitless critical accolades including the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, XXL, SPIN, New York Times, and many more. The duo is currently an opening act for the North America leg of Lorde's Melodrama World Tour.
