If you've seen a handful of electronic music festivals you've seen them all, right? Wrong. Lightning in a Bottle is more than a music festival... it's an adventure in awareness and good vibes.

With a higher purpose, and a mission greater than only mind boggling stages and lightshows, LIB strives to touch participants on a deeper level, to "stretch your mind and body into higher levels of awareness."

A week from now, three days of camping and quality music will be accompanied by eye-opening speakers, rejuvenating yoga sessions, and workshops catering to your mind, body and spirit in the Temple of Consciousness. Meditation, a "tea temple," and vegetarian food are all part of this uniquely wonderful experience.

Lightning in a Bottle will take place at Lake Skinner County Park in Temecula, CA from July 11-15, 2013.

The music, of course, "will offer a sonic adventure you’ll never forget," promises LIB. The lineup features Rusko, Kastle, gLAdiator, PantyRaid, Purity Ring, Griz, Andreilien, Paper Diamond, LowRiderz and many other acts.

LIB is much more than a music festival.

Created by The Do LaB as a private birthday party over a decade ago, the festival has grown tremendously, and has even won the Outstanding Award from A Greener Festival the past three consecutive years.

The Do LaB also had a stage at Coachella this past year, complete with awesome art installations. It seems that the only thing missing from LIB is more first-timers who can experience the beauty that is this three-day music and arts festival with a purpose.

Intrigued? You can get tickets right here.Three-day tickets are $240 with tent camping, and other options are available as well.

To sum it all up, CBS Los Angeles (@CBSLA) tweeted the following: "Coachella + Burning Man + Kids = Lightning in a Bottle." 

See you at the greatest music and arts festival in SoCal next weekend!
