"At LG, we want to make everyday life more fun with our cutting-edge innovations that work hard so consumers can spend more time enjoying those 'life's good' moments," said Dave VanderWaal, senior vice president of marketing, LG Electronics . "At this year's Bonnaroo
Music & Arts Festival, we're demonstrating the power of LG washing machines and inviting festival goers to go ahead and have fun, be themselves and #GetDirty - because no matter how dirty or busy life gets, LG can take care of them on the dance floor and at home."
LaundROO Lounge: The Ultimate Space to Refresh Your Mind, Body - and Wardrobe
Wash'n'Fold: The LG LaundROO Lounge will feature 25 washing machines and 25 dryers as well as LG Styler steam clothing care systems; festival attendees camping on site can drop off their clothing for a classic - and complimentary - wash'n'fold experience before returning to the dance floor. Each load of laundry will journey through LG's industry-leading laundry appliances delivering the best clean around.
Vintage Clothing Swap: LG has tapped the expertise of much-beloved vintage shop What Goes Around Comes Around to source 2,500 pieces of clothing for a unique onsite swap. Festival goers are encouraged to visit with stylists at the LaundROO Lounge to choose a look from the LG closet that best captures their festival identity. Visitors will swap out their own clothing, which will then be washed in LG washing machines and dryers before going on the rack for other festival goers to peruse, ensuring a constantly replenished and fresh selection of items. Remaining clothing will be cleaned and donated to a local charitable partner at the end of the festival.
'Ultimate LG Laundry Room' for Bonnaroo and Beyond
