Craig McConnon Announces that Gary Richards, Destructo will be Launching a new Festival in LA Later in August 2018


The Craig McConnon Group is delighted to confirm that DJ and producer, Destructo, aka Gary Richards is launching a brand new Festival in Downtown LA which will take place later on this year. This new festival is called All My Friends and will take place over two consecutive days which are Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of August 2018.

Craig McConnon added “Its fantastic that Gary has launched this Festival and I am sure it will be a mighty success. Gary throw the most epic parties and events and I am sure this one will be no different. He recently threw a crazy wild party which was the AMF breakfast party which took place from 5AM in the morning until the early afternoon during Miami Music Week in March 2018. He also announced a new music Festival as well which is going to be epic and that is called the Friend Ship. He definitely someone to follow and I recommend people to go to his Festivals”.

The Craig McConnon Group has confirmed that the two day weekend event in August 2018 will feature three stages in total and the line up is yet to be confirmed. The venue itself is formerly the site of a large farmers market and has lots of shady trees among an industrial backdrop. The venue will be ROW DTLA and will feature a mix of electronic bass DJs to a more soulful R&B and hip hop acts as well. Tickets are for those over the age of 18 only and early bid tickets are now currently on sale for purchase. The line up should be confirmed very shortly after.

Craig McConnon added “The Festival has promised an extravaganza of what is cool and current in hip-hop, R&B and dance music so its going to be amazing for sure. Since Gary parted with Live Nation last year, its been an exciting time for him and since he took a position at LiveStyle. He has already announced a new cruise called Friendship and it will take its maiden voyage between the 11th to the 15th December 2018 out of Miami on the Celebrity Equinox Cruise Ship. This is going to be huge as the luxury ship has 13 lounges and bars and a multitude of other amenities. This year is a big year for Gary and it is exciting seeing of all his plans come together”.

Craig McConnon continued “Friendship will be LiveStyle’s first festival cruise which is done by Gary and under his AMFAMFAMF property. The four night cruise is going to be epic and as far as I understand it will sail from Miami to two private beach locations in Coco Bay in the Bahamas and the parties will take place between the 11th to 15th December. I have the utmost respect for Gary as it was not an easy move leaving Live Nation, but he did and he is the North American president of LifeStyle after many years at Live Nation”.

Craig McConnon Group follows Gary Richards and his progress closely, and Gary has been gringing his way through the music world wince the early 1990s, curating festivals such as Holy Ship, Hard Summer and of course most recently Friendship, the cruise ship experience.

Craig McConnon ended by saying “Its nice to see Gary doing something different and using new ideas on how to use the boat. Its definitely an interesting prospect and an amazing venue to hold a festival. I have been informed that the boat has a deck lawn with grass, a spa on site and restaurants. I like the fact that Gary maintains a close relationship with his fans and he tries to make the events fun for everyone. He has a great group of loyal fans who really connect with him and I for one am very excited about his events later this year”.
