Biscoland is back for its second festival-style event in Lafayette over July 4-6! The second annual music festival expands to three days of music & camping, once again taking place at Wonderland Forest, located in the rolling hills of Central New York’s Apple Valley.
The return to a three-day schedule is set to make this festival the closest thing to a previous summer tradition for the band, Camp Bisco, which last took place in 2019 at Montage Mountain in Scranton, PA. The unofficial relocation to Central New York also harkens back to some of the legendary Camp Biscos of old in Mariaville at the Indian Lookout Country Club.
“Wonderland Forest’s mission is to create new connections through a love of music and nature in a pristine landscape of lush forests, spectacular waterfalls, and glorious vistas,” reads a statement on the Biscoland website.
The lineup for this year’s Biscoland reads like an early Camp Bisco – funkmasters Lettuce, trance producer and DJ Nora en Pure, Montana’s bluegrass darlings Kitchen Dwellers, Lespecial, Break Science, Maniac Focus, Saxsquatch, Ben Silver, DJ Minx, Jimkata, Out of the Beardspace, RAQ, Squeaky Feet, The Breakfast, and Space Bacon. More artists will be announced soon.
One big feature at Biscoland 2 is a set of Tractorbeam – instrumental/industrial Disco Biscuits – only the second such set in 2024.
Weekend passes and VIP add-ons for Biscoland are on sale now at bisco.land.
On the heels of this much anticipated save-the-date announcement in March, the band has also released the third and latest video installment of its soon-to-be released Revolution In Motion album. With more animation produced by Blunt Action, this edition features songs “The Deal,” with studio versions of “Who’s In Charge?” and “Space Train” also released on Friday, March 15.
The trio of songs continue the ongoing saga of alien interstellar travel previously laid out in the initial release from January that saw aliens enter a wormhole while getting too ‘shocked’ and being brought to our solar system, specifically Times Square in New York City.
A follow-up release in February pushes the story further along, with the aliens freezing all those outside waiting to get into a show, but with Disco Biscuits on stage and deep underground later coming to their rescue but getting abducted in the process. This latest release sees the band trying cut an appropriately titled “Deal” with their alien captors.
One last video will be released before the album’s official release party on March 29 at a sold-out Webster Hall where all of the pieces of the space opera will be joined together for the very first time in a live setting. The Biscuits then truck up to Buffalo for two shows at the Town Ballroom on March 30 and 31. See below for a full listing of upcoming tour dates and the band’s website for ticketing info.
