submitted by taurenosaur

who were the must sees? what sets were your favorites, whether it was the artist themselves, visuals, overall experience, etc?

Visuals: Chemical Brothers Eric Prydz Tale of Us

Overall: Labrinth was my favorite set of the weekend Loved Romy’s mix of DJ set / live performance. Incredible party energy earlier on Sunday Wet Leg Muna Sofi Tukker Jai Wolf Charli XCX

Did you split Prydz and Labrinth? If so, was that a good move?

[–]chaoticdj 2 points3 points  (1 child)

We did. Started at Prydz and made it to Labrinth for the last 20ish minutes.

Honestly, if I were doing it again I’d just only hit Labrinth because it felt transcendent; but I loved both.

Back half of Labrinth set was luckily fantastic and we made it in time for Billie

Sweet, appreciate the insight!

Chemical Brothers, Tale of Us and Eric Prydz have raised the bar for audio/visual production for electronic acts. You can debate whether that's a good thing or not, as I have just as much fun in a warehouse with a great sound system and no lighting as I do at something like Prydz holo but if you're into that sort of thing they are all very well produced shows.

2ManyDjs was AWESOME and deserved a better time slot/stage

Blondie was a blast and one of those unique acts that you'll definitely only get at Coachella, she performed with Niles Rodgers for about 30 minutes or so.

Not a huge Bjork fan but thought she was pretty cool. Most of the acts I saw in Yuma absolutely smashed it. Keinemusik, PAWSA and Dennis Cruz, Sasha & Digweed, Oliver Koletzki, etc... and it feels like they have upped the lighting/production budget in there a bit as well.

Cannot wait for 2ManyDjs this weekend. Saw on the stream and it looked and sounded unreal

Drama was insane

[–]CaptainCarlton 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Really ?? Debating going

[–]fifaplayer0519 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I saw 13 sets this weekend, the crowd for drama was easily the best. Just a big dance party

DRAMA was easily the best party all weekend. If you go Wk 2 be ready groove.

Kenny Beats played one of the most fun sets i’ve ever seen. Chris Lake and Fisher also threw down

[–]TheOtherRathurum13.1| 15.2|17.2|18.2|19.2|22.1|23.1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Overmono, DRAMA, boygenius, Marc Ribllet, Gabriels we’re my top five, with Chromeo, Ashnikko, Los Bitchos, Wet Leg and others follow.

But don’t miss Boris. I stayed with my* group thing for Frank and regret it like the rest of the festival.

[–]hausoflucas🌴 22.1 | 23.1 🌴 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charli XCX, Blackpink, and Two Friends were some of my fav sets of the weekend.

[–]cspencere9422.2 | 23.1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rosalía was best of fest for me! She really knows how to put on a SHOW; the energy was immaculate. Charli XCX was great as always. Kali Uchis’ setlist was great even tho she seemed a bit nervous, but brought out so many good features. Other great ones were Metro Boomin, Kenny Beats(!!!), Foushée, Blackpink!
