EVENT INDUSTRY BUZZ
 

1. PHARRELL WILLIAMS REVEALS LINEUP FOR SECOND ANNUAL SOMETHING IN THE WATER FESTIVAL: Pharrell Williams announced Thursday the music lineup for the second annual “Something in the Water,” his multi-day music and cultural festival, which will take place in his hometown of Virginia Beach April 24 to April 26, 2020. Among the long list of artists participating is A$AP Rocky, Chance the Rapper, Foo Fighters, Post Malone, Usher, and many more. Variety: “According to the announcement, the festival will feature expanded programming across an entire week, including “the brightest minds from the culinary world, technology, environmental sustainability, health and wellness, media and more, from Monday, April 20, through Thursday, April 23.” That lineup will be announced next year. In a nod to the influence and appreciation of educators, Pharrell first released the music lineup to the 12 Virginia Beach high school principals to make a simultaneous district-wide announcement of the artists performing at the festival.”

2. HOUSE AND HOST FROM 'THE BACHELOR' AVAILABLE FOR WEDDINGS AND EVENTS: Wedding and event planners searching for a romance-theme location—and officiant—need look no further than a well-known television franchise. The Bachelor mansion, and longtime host Chris Harrison, now are available for weddings, corporate conferences, seminars, team building workshops, and more. Located in the Santa Monica Mountains of Malibu, the Villa de la Vina features 10,000 square feet of interior space and 20,000 square feet of exterior space. Bustle: “To hire Harrison to officiate their wedding, fans need to fill out a form on his website with the following information: contact information, wedding date, wedding venue, and details of the wedding. As his website notes, Harrison has been an ordained minister since 2012 with Universal Life Church. Available for U.S. (yes, that includes Hawaii) and international destination weddings, Harrison ‘customizes each of his weddings to the couple,’ as per his website.”

3. TOM FORD PLANS FASHION SHOW IN LOS ANGELES IN RUN-UP TO THE OSCARS: Clothing designer Tom Ford announced Thursday he will show his fall 2020 collection on February 7 in Los Angeles, two days before the Oscars on February 9. Ford similarly relocated his fall 2015 show to Los Angeles in February of that year, a day before the Oscars, and the front row was packed with A-listers, including Julianne Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyonce and Jay-Z, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lopez, Elton John, Miley Cyrus, and more. WWD: “‘The decision to show in February in Los Angeles feels very natural to me,’ he said. 'It is my home and has a strong impact on the way I live and work within both the fashion and film worlds. There is an excitement in L.A. on that particular weekend and the relationship between film and fashion is a strong one.’”
