21 and Young

Up until I was 21, I was so angry with the world for not allowing me to see some of my favorite bands perform at venues in Seattle. That lead me to becoming a huge advocate for all-ages shows and I still am today. Since I’ve turned 21, I’ve only been to two 21+ show, which was during Capitol Hill Block Party, and while I enjoyed the performance by Cults and Campfire OK – I’ve realized that it really doesn’t make too much of a difference whether you are 21 or not. Just let the under-age crowd enjoy the music that they love.

I’m so glad though that there are many organizations that recognize the need for change in this. I have previously mentioned the Seattle-based All-Ages Movement Project before and now today, Vitamin Water is sponsoring a show in Philadelphia that is STRICTLY for the under 21 crowd only. Previous years have brought out The XX, The Strokes, Bloc Party,  LCD Soundsystem, Cut Copy and many more.

Check out the lineup for their August 28th show here!
