Spring is in the air, and that can only mean one thing: half a dozen can’t-miss music festivals taking place every weekend across the country. Among the really-can’t-miss events in the near future is Pasadena’s Cruel World Festival, initially launched in 2022 to nurture our post-pandemic nostalgia trips as it spotlights iconic acts from within post-punk, new wave, and gothic rock music. Scheduled for May 17, this year’s event will notably feature Devo, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, New Order, The Go-Go’s, Madness, OMD, Garbage, Stereo MC’s, and the reunion of Aimee Mann’s ’Til Tuesday, among other exciting acts.
While tickets for the event are still available, we’re here to help one lucky winner score a pair of VIP passes to the event, which includes a $600 travel credit, a hotel stay for the night of the festival, and even a meet-and-greet with Devo and signed energy domes!
