SunLine's 111 Music Festival to be Held This Sunday

From SunLine: Back by popular demand, SunLine Transit Agency will host the 111 Music Festival on Sunday, November 11th on its Line 111 – which takes riders where they need to go along the Coachella Valley’s most vital artery, Highway 111. The Festival will transform the Line 111 into a grooving, moving lounge filled with the sounds of local bands/musical performers from 3:00-7:00 p.m.

A number of genres will be represented during the hours of the Festival – from reggae, rap and rock to new age, DJs and acoustic. Bands and musical acts auditioned to play in the festival, and finalists will perform for a live audience on the Line 111 buses on November 11th.

Winners will be selected by passenger votes via text and posts tagging the Festival and their favorite band/performers on Facebook or Instagram. The first place winner will receive a $500 Visa gift card, the second place winner will receive a $300 Visa gift card, and the third place winner will receive a $100 Visa gift card.

“Highway 111 is the heart of the Valley, so our Line 111 becomes the ideal mobile music venue for this hip festival,” said Lauren Skiver, CEO/General Manager of SunLine Transit Agency. “We really embrace what this Festival provides to the Coachella Valley – a rare opportunity to enjoy a relaxing ride while enjoying some of the most talented musical acts in our community.”

The 111 Line stretches 19 miles across the valley floor, from Palm Springs to Coachella. Admission for the 111 Music Festival is the cost of SunLine’s standard bus fares. All SunLine buses featured in this Festival are part of its clean fuels fleet – ranging from CNG (clean natural gas) to hydrogen as well as fuel cell buses.
