Golden light spilled across the stage as Boston gathered for a day of music, energy, and community, and that’s what No Hype Fest is all about. This year’s No Hype Fest, (brought to you by Red Bull, Prolific Cannabis, Just No Discussions, Diaspora, Dialed In Gummies, and Flare Events and presented by the DJ/Producer Duo SuperSmashBroz) tributes itself to Boston’s emerging talent and their diverse cultures and genres. This effort brings in and offers music lovers of all types to come down to Harvard Square to witness this mashup live. More than a concert, the No Hype movement aims to connect artists and audiences together and celebrate creativity and Boston’s vibrant music scene. 

By the time the sun was high, it was time for people to turn up. After a soundcheck from Jeleel, the party got started and we were rolling. The audience wandered, fueled by caffeine and anticipation and began dancing and chatting as we got more and more deep into the festival. With a mix of Boston artists and out-of-town talents, the performances mashed together to really hype the crowd up. Simply put, we couldn’t be stopped, and as time progressed, the atmosphere got hotter and hotter as the temperature and sun cooled down. With DJ sets that made the crowd roar and performances that made you want more, we went until the rain sent us away and then moved to Big Night Live to end the night off.
