Noam Silkoff

Noam is your typical wandering Jew. Born in Israel, lived in Toronto, now residing in downtown Denver, and holds UK, Israeli and American citizenships. His family boasts many musical talents which he apparently missed out on. He is a fan of all different types of music ranging from reggae to hip-hop, classic rock, and of course, EDM. After capturing his wild adventures of going to shows with a shitty point and shoot camera, he decided to start a music website, which somehow led to Swaager. His drinks of choice include Jameson and PBR and if you see him out without a v-neck on, he must be having an off-night. He enjoys nothing more than being at a show - it includes anything and everything you could ever ask for: music, girls, and booze. Follow Noam on Twitter: @volecule

After the announcement of phase one last week, including big names such as Pretty Lights, Beats Antique (read our interview with them here), Paper Diamond, and Railroad Earth, Wakarusa released phase two of the line up today, and we are beyond impressed.

Hard-hitting acts like Primus, Big Gigantic, Girl Talk, and LA Riots were announced, as well as Swaager favorites like Heartless Bastards, Virtual Boy (read our interview with the boys here), and Denver crooner, Nathaniel Rateliff.

Dirtfoot, one of our favorite up-and-coming bands, has also been added! Not familiar with the self-described "Gypsy Punk Country Grumble Boogie" Band? Check out our interview with them:

Even more impressive, is the number of artists playing two sets! More festivals should follow suit! The entire festival is shaping up to be an incredible four days and we can't wait for phase three of the lineup to be announced next Thursday, Jan. 19th.

If you haven’t purchased tickets yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Reserved campsites sold out in record time and festival passes are going fast. Join Swaager May 31-June 3 at Mulberry Mountain for one of the best festivals of the summer!
