Activate! presents:
For my next to last Activate! ever, I’m going to do one of my favorite things – let the music do the talking. At 5pm, I don’t have any guests, but I do have a full-on preview of the week ahead in RVA concerts, including a new song from Armagideon Time (pictured), release shows from Noah O and Rikki Rakki, the Daydream Fest, and a benefit for Crystal Palace!
