RE:SET CONCERT SERIES TO MAKE S.D. STOP
3-day music events will be held in 12 U.S. cities over four weekends in June
The producers of the new Re:SET concert series, which will be held for three days in San Diego and 11 other U.S. cities in June, aren’t calling their event a mini-Coachella.
But with a lineup headlined and curated by such Coachella veterans as LCD Soundsystem and Steve Lacy, plus 2023 Coachella co-headliners boygenius, it may be difficult to avoid invoking Coachella’s name.
That contention is bolstered by the fact that Re:SET’s lineup also includes such Coachella alums as Idles, Jamie xx, Toro y Moi, Big Freedia and James Blake. Moreover, Re:SET is produced by AEG Presents, the company that has been behind Coachella since 2001.
The Re:SET tour will open June 2, featuring concurrent shows with different lineups, at San Diego’s 20,000-capacity Thrive Park at Snapdragon Stadium, Pasadena’s Brookside at The Rose Bowl and Stanford University’s Frost Amphitheatre.
Those three venues also host Re:SET
on June 3 and 4, with hopscotching lineups that will alternate each day from city to city.
The San Diego iteration kicks off June 2 with a lineup headlined by boygenius, the trio that teams singer-songwriters Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker. The other acts on the bill that day include Clairo, Dijon and Bartees Strange.
They’ll be followed June 3 with San Diego performances by LCD
Soundsystem, Jamie xx, IDLES and Big Freedia/L’Rain, along with DJ sets from DFA Records Family. The June 4 San Diego lineup features Steve Lacy, James Blake, Toro y Moi and Fousheé.
The tour then moves to New Orleans, Atlanta and Dallas for the June 9-11 weekend. From June 16-18, Re:SET will be held in New York City, Boston and Washington, D.C., before concluding June 23-25 in
