This is an instance where you don't have to suffer for fashion. Thanks to the collaboration of about 30 fashion designers and over a dozen artists, the Music To Know Festival will be kicking off its first year with style and pizzazz. Hosted at Runway 4 in East Hampton, New York, MTK is bringing artists like Vampire Weekend, Bright Eyes, Ellie Goulding, M. Ward, Chromeo and more to your eyeballs, and we're bringing them to you for free! That's right, soak in that flyer above and imagine yourself surrounded not only by fashion, but also by those glimmering artists with $195 you would've spent still warm in your pocket.
Aside from bringing tunes to lucky winners' ears, MTK will also be contributing $100,000 of its profits to several charities in East Hampton, including Camp Good Grief, Surfrider Foundation, East Hampton Public Library and Living Water Food Pantry. Way to go humanitarian and environmentalist support! In light of their generosity, for your chance to win please email what you would do if you had $100k to give away to danielle[dot]fowler[at]melophobe[dot]com.
THE DEADLINE IS JULY 26. Winners will be able to pick up their pair of tickets at the will call box office with a photo ID, and then traipse into the venue to see these 19 bands live!
