The Countdown To Day For Night 2017 Is On

Sip Don Julio cocktails and marvel at epic light shows at this year's music festival. [SPONSORED]

What do Solange, Cardi B and Nine Inch Nails have in common (besides being on the radio)? Well, starting Dec. 15, they’ll all be at Houston’s historic Barbara Jordan Post Office for the Day For Night 2017 music festival. Queue the party playlist.

Touted as “the best young music festival in the world,” the 3-day event will showcase popular artists across all musical genres, plus a number of visual artists (think: Cocolab and Lina Dib) who will be creating interactive installations and light shows. And with 1.5 million square feet of indoor and outdoor venue space to play with, you can bet the displays are going to be epic.

This year’s shindig also boasts some awesome sponsors to keep you fueled as you bounce between four larger-than-life stages. Don Julio will be converting the crowd into tequila lovers one by one and serving up custom Don Julio Paloma cocktails. Mixed up with Don Julio Blanco, a crisp agave-based tequila, the sips only need a few ingredients to be delicious. Get the recipe below.
