What The Festival — the self-described “boutique” music fest — is coming to an area roughly 90 miles east of Portland. It’ll be worth the drive, no worries. Plus, it’s got shuttle resources and ride shares. Cutting to the chase, be ready to dance. Headliners include Thievery Corporation (super upbeat DJ) and Bonobo (kind of big-band DJ electronica) — two bands that’ll get your toes tappin’ and your heart racing. If you’re into jazz- funk and salad greens, WTF has that covered with Boston-based band Lettuce. The overall line up is a big ol’ mash up of jazz, funk, electronic and DJ sets, so if you’re in the mood to move, this festival is right up your alley.
