They say third time’s a charm, but Red Bull Music Academy Festival has led a charmed lineup for the past three years it has descended upon New York City for the month of May. Last year’s second iteration saw such events as a block party to celebrate Can Red Bull Break a Band? Sound Select’s 30 Days in L.A. Kicks Off

Doubtless even Rihanna will deign to check out some of these amazing-sounding events (if not the talk with A$AP Rocky, then definitely Raw Sound Transgression).  Check out the full lineup below and head on over to Red Bull Music Academy’s official website for more information and to buy tickets.
