Other artists on the eclectic lineup include CHVRCHES, Future, Above & Beyond, Miike Snow, Nero, Fetty Wap, GRiZ, Crystal Castles, A$AP Ferg, Baauer and many more. Fans of Pretty Lights will also be happy to hear that the producer will treat Buku to one of his signature live band sets.

Local artists are also well-represented on the lineup, which features an interesting “back-to-back” set from Mystikal, Juvenile and local bounce artist Fly Boi Keno. Other New Orleans acts DJ Soul Sister, CRWNS, Donovan Wolfington, Fro-Yo Ma and Tristan Dufrene are also on the bill, along with Lafayette indie-rockers Givers.

More artists will be added to the lineup in the coming months.
