Anticipation is growing for the hottest new festival to grace the Crescent City since the final pieces to the puzzle were added last week. The BUKU Music + Art Project is scheduled for March 21-22, 2014.
The addition that is getting the most buzz across the nation is the first-time performance by iconic hip-hop act Nas. He will present his ground-breaking album, Illmatic in its entirety in celebration of the work’s 20th anniversary.
Sleigh Bells, Chance the Rapper, Carnage, GRiZ, Clockwork, Dan Deacon, Classixx (LIVE), Treasure Fingers, and Young & Sick have also been added to the lineup.
In keeping with a new tradition at festivals all over the world, BUKU also announced VIP-only performances for the S.S. BUKU, a three-level New Orleans-style riverboat docked directly on the festival grounds featuring an open bar, main stage views from the boat’s deck and additional amenities exclusive to VIP patrons.
Performances on the S.S. BUKU include a special collaboration with the Gaslamp Killer and a brass ensemble from New Orleans’ own Preservation Hall and DJ sets by Holy Ghost!, Miami Horror, and DJ Soul Sister and other amenities.
