Tickets go on sale this week, Dancing Astronautreports. Floss and Snails both notoriously bring out particularly hyped and heady audiences, so the lineup combined with the venue and the holiday is the stuff of HDYNATION dreams. HDYNATION was also the title of a tour two years ago.Īs Run The Trap points out, the trap duo's decision to hold HDYFEST (pronounced "heady fest" in this instance) on a nationally observed holiday celebrating marijuana in Colorado is not a coincidence.

The concert title of course matches the duo's most recent album title, HDYNATION Radio, which dropped last November and features the thematically-appropriate track " Roll Up." Listen below. In a press statement Young and Cameruci explained that the event "is a celebration of all things that make up the world of Flosstradamus - the music, the lifestyle, the HDYNATION."

Thanks to an increasingly supportive music scene, Flosstradamus have since gotten out of the hood. In April 2006, Flosstradamus, as a duo, were included in URB’s annual Next 100.
