Given its new location (in case you’re wondering, Shakafest simply outgrew its Miami locale) this year’s event will see the return of the famous half pipe, which will be shredded by a soon-to-be-announced line-up of skateboarding talent. Tickets start from $75 and are available online now. If you’re after a little more of a refined experience, treat yo’self to the VIP package where you’ll get side-stage viewing, private toilets (very good) and bars, a drink on arrival, free snacks and some cool merchandise.
