“It truly felt like nothing we\u2019ve ever done,” he gushed<\/a>.<\/p>\n Over the last decade, GRiZ has accumulated a diehard following akin to the likes of the Grateful Dead, wherein a deep sense of community has been cultivated by virtue of his mantra, “Show love, spread love.” And after he announced an impending hiatus from music<\/a>, Ursa Major functioned as a rapturous sendoff for those loyal fans.<\/p>\n \n View the original article<\/a> to see embedded media.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n Presented in an intimate setting surrounded by the beauty of nature, the event united a faction of like-minded people to hear musicians who would ultimately rock the forest for three days straight\u2014not to mention three uniquely epic sets by GRiZ himself.<\/p>\n The Pepsi Amphitheater at Fort Tuthill is surrounded by sky-scraping pine trees with camping dispersed throughout. Those staying within the campgrounds were given multiple surprise visits by GRiZ and friends sporting all sorts of instruments, including ProbCause, who banged on a pot with a wooden spoon.<\/p>\n At the center of the grounds was a community area called “Polaris,” which was set up for festival-goers to enjoy daytime activities like yoga, expressive art, meditation, nature walks and crowd favorite tie-dye parties, just to name a few. It also included the Little Bear stage, where local musicians provided intoxicating beats under a canopy of rainbow streamers. It’s here where Maddy O\u2019Neal <\/a>threw down a surprise set for a swarming crowd on the event’s third day.<\/p>\n There was a plethora of options to post up for the main attractions within the amphitheater. Whether you found yourself on the lawn laying out under the stars or inside the pit with the bass vibrating through your soul, there was plenty of space to move and groove. Meanwhile, The Harmony Project tent offered an enlightened space for friendly conversation as a team handed out earplugs, not to be confused for a tub of cheese puffs.<\/p>\n Aside from the obvious closing set by GRiZ, day one was headlined by an exclusive Vibeline musical number from ProbCause and Chrishira Perrier with support from Sunsquabi. This groovy set brought about a bright shine in the crowd leading up to GRiZ\u2019s bass-filled dubstep performance, which included bits from Rainbow Brain<\/a><\/em>, his Bangers.zip<\/em> EP series<\/a> and recent “ID Bible<\/a>” released just days prior.<\/p>\n
