LCD Soundsystem, boygenius and Steve Lacy to perform artist-curated series in NOLA

LCD Soundsystem, boygenius and Steve Lacy headline and lead a new artist-curated series tour called Re:SET coming to the New Orleans Festival Grounds at City Park on June 9-11.

Supergroup composed of artists Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus, boygenius will bring along indie standouts Clairo, Dijon and Bartees Strange. Traveling with LCD Soundsystem is an electronic artist and one-third of rock band The xx, Jamie xx, explosive UK rock band IDLES, bounce music pioneer Big Freedia and more. Steve Lacy will keep a focus on genre-bending artists with James Blake, Toro y Moi and Fousheé.

Re:SET was conceived as an artist and fan-friendly alternative to the standard summer festival experience. Taking place over four weekends in the month of June, each weekend will see three cities in the same region hosting, with each Re:SET headliner playing each city on consecutive days. The concept provides artists a respite from the cookie-cutter summer itinerary of sheds and amphitheaters, while fans get a day that features full sets from every artist on one stage with no conflicts.

“The City of New Orleans is proud to be a part of this unique series. Our rich cultural heritage and the majesty of City Park will serve to create a magical experience for artists and fans. I can’t wait,” said Howie Kaplan, Director of  Nighttime Economy in the City of New Orleans.

The supergroup boygenius surprised the music world with the acclaimed self-titled EP boygenius in 2018. The group recently announced a full-length LP entitled The Record out March 31, alongside the release of three singles “$20,” “Emily I’m Sorry,” and “True Blue.”

A defining force in New York’s musical soundtrack since the early ‘00s, LCD Soundsystem recently released its first new song in five years. Written for Noah Baumbach’s feature film White Noise, “new body rhumba” is the band’s first new original music since 2017’s Grammy-winning AMERICAN DREAM. Consistently hailed as one of the best live acts on the planet, LCD Soundsystem’s headlining Re:SET run follows a 2022 tour that included its 20th-anniversary shows in London, residencies in San Francisco, Boston, and Philadelphia, and a sold-out series of 20 shows at New York’s Brooklyn Steel.

Previously a producer for artists like Solange, Kali Uchis, and Mac Miller, Steve Lacy comes off a breakout 2022 with his solo alternative-R&B album Gemini Rights, reaching #1 on both the Billboard Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts. His single “Bad Habit” entered the Billboard Hot 100 and became his first number-one single. Most recently, Steve Lacy celebrates being nominated for four Grammys – Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Progressive R&B Album.

The venue will also feature food and drinks from local restaurants, bars and breweries that reflect New Orleans. Visit for more information on the series and headliners LCD Soundsystem, boygenius and Steve Lacy.
