| Thievery Corporation will play the newly renovated Fair Park Band Shell on May 5, 2012 |
Today, the fourth annual Manifestation Celebration announced a stellar lineup of musical acts along with a myriad of visionary speakers, authors and artists. On May 5, 2012 the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science and the Fair Park Band Shell will witness a gathering of like-minded co-creators to celebrate "our innately human capacity for artistic self-expression and conscious evolution."
This year's cast of characters is by far the most extensive and far-reaching to date, with each act showcasing something original, inventive and intentioned.
Thievery Corporation’s Eric Hilton and Rob Garza are set to headline the event. The duos' DJ sets highlight the fact that they are visionary audio artists in their own right. Known for crafting sophisticated, impeccably crafted musical soundscapes that reflect not only their broad appreciation for diverse styles of music (everything from Brazilian bossa nova and Jamaican dub reggae to vintage film soundtracks and psychedelic space rock), but also their take on the complicated times in which we live, Thievery Corporation is truly a sight to behold.
The undercard is just as strong with experimental genre-bending producer Steven Ellison, better known as Flying Lotus, making the trip down to Texas.

The Nadis Warriors, veterans of all four Manifestation Celebrations, will grace its stages once again, bringing their message of healing through dance alongside artists Alex and Allyson Grey and digital alchemist Johnathan Singer.

Random Rab, accompanied by visual artists Android Jones and his wife Phaedra, who together form Phadroid: an experiment in digital painting, music, and dance, Eastern psy-bass producer/violinist Govinda and producer/guitar wizard D.V.S* round out the bill.
The Manifestation Celebration has always featured an eclectic lineup of forward-thinking musicians and visual artists, but this year boasts an equally impressive lineup of speakers and authors as well.
In addition to lending their talents with paint and brush, the Greys will also speak on "Art as Spiritual Endeavor," and participate in a panel discussion on "Conscious Evolution" alongside Daniel Pinchbeck, author of "2012: The Return of Quetzacoatl" and "Breaking Open the Head," and a few other leading authors and speakers in the social consciousness movement.
Finally, the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science will open its exhibits and allow attendees to explore its vast wonders from gemstones to artifacts. Attendees will also be able to view evolutionary documentaries such as "ReGENERATION," a film scored by STS9, as well as "The Spirit Molecule" and "Electronic Awakening" at multiple screenings throughout the evening.
Tickets are available at noon CST today. General admission tickets will be sold for $67.50 while VIP tickets are available for $149.00 via the official website.
With added production and an amazingly talented lineup of musicians, authors, speakers and artists The Manifestation Celebration 2012 is shaping up to be one for the books.
