Love artists like Tyler the Creator, Glass Animals, Baby Keem, and Kali Uchis? Well, those are only a few artists in BUKU's new lineup!

The fantastic music and art phenomenon continues to get better and better each year as BUKU announces its music lineup in celebration of its 10th year anniversary. The cutting-edge boutique New Orleans music festival, BUKU Music + Art Project, strikes us with a lineup we will never forget for the highly anticipated return to the Big Easy on March 25-26, 2022! Devoted fans finally have the chance to return to the creative playground filled with music, artistry, and community.

For the past decade, BUKU has brought us a boutique festival experience that proudly showcases the diverse and artistic subculture of New Orleans. There are many things for attendees to look forward to, such as indoor and outdoor stage environments, exciting art installations and creations from local graffiti artists, pop-up breakdancing crews, and plenty of surprises while taking in the historic and beautiful New Orleans skyline for two memorable days.

BUKU is not only bringing in top-tier musicians around the globe, but BUKU is focusing on fostering the local music scene by spotlighting artists from New Orleans and nearby cities. As BUKU is set against the backdrop of the Market Street Power Plant along the banks of the Mississippi River, it allows attendees to enjoy the authentic New Orleans experience capturing the city's spirit.

Civic duty remains the heart of all things BUKU, including the Take Action Project. The program's long-term mission is to focus on using BUKU's platform to elevate awareness around issues of multiple social and environmental justice problems and take action by developing fan-mobilizing campaigns to generate donations and volunteer efforts in support of various charitable and community organizations.

Continuing this mission, BUKU, alongside Upbeat Academy, a non-profit that inspires and empowers New Orleans youth through music education, also acts as the beneficiary of proceeds from every sold ticket at BUKU.

The fun does not stop there! Beyond the general admission tickets, BUKU offers two types of VIP packages. For the VIP option, guests will receive access to different things such as the BUKU rooftop, VIP viewing decks with amazing views of the two main stages, air-conditioned restrooms, a VIP only bar and food options, a fast-track entrance lane, and access to the VIP chill area with seating, water refills, charging, and more. The TOOBUKU package includes all these amenities along with a free open bar and snacks in private rooms, access to Grand Oaks Mansion with an open bar, VIP viewing decks with lounge seating, a free locker with charging capabilities, unlimited re-entry to the festival site, and guest list to one official BUKU after party of your choice.
