Get
ready for "Buku" fun this fall! New Orleans's eclectic music festival, BUKU
Music + Art Project, announced the 2021 line-up for its return as BUKU: Planet
B.
This
is a one-time opportunity to experience BUKU Fest in the fall, October 22
through 23, due to its spring postponement because of COVID-19. Held on the
banks of the Mighty Mississippi, this unique live music event will be
"boutique" in size, but will celebrate the return of live music with over 50 carefully
curated acts across multiple stages.
Megan
Thee Stallion, LLENIUM, Machine Gun Kelly, Playboi Carti, Kaytranada, Zeds
Dead, Alison Wonderland and other top acts are featured in the lineup. BUKU: Planet
B will also showcase more than 20 New Orleans acts to support our magnificent
local arts community, including Pell's GLBL WRMNG's first
time festival performance.
Multiple performance stages, art
installations, street performances, graffiti artists, and a host of other
surprises will delight the attendees as they wander through the unique festival
grounds. The Buku Project's website
describes the event as "an urban oasis as much about the oddities and community
as it is about the headliners." A perfect New Orleans event! To view the full
lineup, go to Buku-Music-Festival-2021-Lineup.
As BUKU prides itself on its continued
commitment to civic and social responsibility, the organizers have furthered
their partnership in 2021 with Upbeat
Academy, a non-profit that empowers youth through music. This year, they are launching
the Take Action Project, also known as "TAP." So far, this project has raised
more than $10,000 for racial
justice, voting rights, and organizations that promote environmental
sustainability. A portion of all ticket proceeds from BUKU or Planet B will
benefit Upbeat Academy. Tickets are available, so get yours now and get
your BUKU on!
