in Dreamforce, Featured

Dreamforce is for developers, salespeople, admins, marketers, and many more, but who would have guessed it was also for music fans? This year’s Dreamforce is going to rock, with four days of music.

After the huge success of last year’s first ever Dreamforce Music Festival, we are going full speed ahead for year two. The Dreamforce Plaza on Howard Street will have outstanding live music on two separate stages. We are so excited to announce the addition of nine amazing artists and bands to the Dreamforce 2013 lineup.

11:30am-1:30pm: St. Lucia

One-man band, St. Lucia, takes his name from the small Caribbean island and the moniker fits in that the only kind of place you can imagine this music coming from is sunny and remote. His songs are pop cuts, plain and simple. What St. Lucia brings to the table is immediacy tempered with texture, depth and variety. That artistry only adds to the appeal of these catchy songs.

Originally from Johannesberg, St. Lucia creates atmospheric quality electronic pop is powerful, with the musician's global travels and history of secret hideaways effortlessly passed onto the audience through his dreamy, shimmering synths.

The Amazing Embarrassonic Human Karaoke Machine is an interactive rockstar fantasy experience that allows you to front a real, live, 3 piece rock band. They’ve got guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, a stage and a repertoire of over 500 songs, but without you they are nothing but a crappy jazz/fusion instrumental headache.

Key Tips for the Dreamforce Gala:

Want to meet up with your friends? Plan to meet at the iconic Willie Mays statue at 3rd & King Street, which is identified on the Gala map in the Dreamforce App.
DON’T FORGET your Dreamforce conference badge, including the card, holder and lanyard, to get into the Gala
Shuttle service will be provided to the Gala from all official Dreamforce hotels starting at 6:15pm. Doors to AT&T Park open at 7:00pm and stay open until we are done rocking with Green Day at 11:00pm.
