The Gorge Amphitheater is one of America's premier outdoor venues that should be on every concert-goers bucket list.

Just last week, the good people at The Gorge opened their doors to a new "mini-festival" thrown by none other than Pretty Lights.

This 2-day festival held on August 4th and 5th will also be accompanied by hip-hop legend Atmosphere, electronic jam band STS9, the mind-blowing Tipper, and funk superstars Lettuce.

Pretty Lights, aka Derek Vincent Smith, has hosted other 2-day mini festival events in the past in places like Telluride, CO and Nashville, TN. This event being hosted at one of the top venues in the country will be an extra special edition to his Pretty Lights Live events.
