Top 5 Experiences of My Life

What an incredible job by the MIP team. They made the trip effortless, a vacation where we could truly relax.

The concerts themselves were beyond amazing. I didn't think Monday's concert could get better, but Wednesday and Thursday did.

The MIP experience has spoiled me for all future concerts.

The Church

Few bands in their fifth decade of making music with all the fierce creative energy of their early years.

Even fewer bands are like The Church. Experiencing a renaissance of sorts with their critically hailed 26th album The Hypnogogue and a world tour that took them through North America, the UK, Europe and Australia, The Church was met with fervent audiences who embraced not only their early catalog but their new material as well.
