After teasing you with date and city announcements (and selling out earlybird tickets before revealing a single act), we’re psyched to release lineups for this year’s edition of FOOL’S GOLD DAY OFF events, hitting Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, Miami and Austin starting August 29th.
Label founders A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs have once again curated North America’s most culturally resonant festival. Who else brings together street rap royalty Meek Mill (currently riding high with the #1 album in the country), UK grime icon Skepta and underground superstars Flatbush Zombies? Who can showcase EDM favorites Flosstradamus and Alison Wonderland alongside nu-millennial MCs D.R.A.M. and Post Malone? Top it off with fresh label signings Rome Fortune, ManMan Savage, Bosco, Leaf, Hoodboi, Falcons and Shash’U and you’ve got an eclectic and electrifying lineup, in true Fool’s Gold style.
“DAY OFF is our culture. It’s where the full scope of Fool’s Gold comes together, it’s everything we represent. It doesn’t belong to one scene or another: DAY OFF is generational. We’ve watched it grow, step by step, with pride. I can’t wait to pull some more surprises this year!” – A-Trak
Tickets for all five DAY OFF events are available now at fgdayoff.com, along with recap videos and photos from the last five years of FGDO shows, featuring Danny Brown, A$AP Rocky, Run The Jewels, Juicy J, Young Thug, French Montana and many others. Read More

The turn up returns! Fool’s Gold’s DAY OFF festival is back for their biggest and craziest year of parties yet. Before we announce lineups and put tickets on sale, we’re teasing cities for ’15 (including their annual hometown Labor Day throwdown) at fgdayoff.com with a recap of all last year’s action, including sets from Big Sean, Travi$ Scott, Danny Brown, French Montana and more.
Says A-Trak: “Day Off started as a party in a Soho parking lot 5 years ago and is now an actual festival in multiple cities. It’s where we bring together all the music we listen to, from FG extended family to artists we’re fans of. We’ve met people hanging out at Day Off that we ended up signing to the label — it’s really where the whole vision of Fool’s Gold comes together. And this year’s events are going to be bigger than ever. Your favorite festival is back!” Read More
