Los Angeles will act as home base for Filter Magazine’s second annual Culture Collide Festival taking place on October 6th through October 9th at eight historic venues throughout the city. Think of this festival as the musical equivalent of the United Nations where bands from 23 different countries converge on Los Angeles for four jammed packed days of musical bliss. Festival goers are bound to find their favorite international flavor of music ranging from Brazil’s CSS to Australia’s The Morning After Girls to Long Beach’s own Avi Buffalo. We’re giving away a pair of festival wristbands that will get you access into all of the Culture Collide showcases as well as a special VIP viewing area for the Toyota Antics Block Party, a free event in Echo Park bringing the festival to a close on October 9th. Sound good? We think so too. Drop us a line in the comments section telling us about your ultimate international excursion, whether real or make believe, for your chance to win. Contest ends October 4th.
