AEG has announced a fresh take on the summer festival by launching a new concert series, Re:SET. LCD Soundsystem, boygenius, and Steve Lacy will headline the 12-city fest, which will take place over the four weekends in June.
According to its website, “Re:SET was conceived as an artist and fan-friendly alternative to the standard summer concert experience. 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 leisurely day that features full sets from every artist on one stage with no conflicts.”
Re:SET headliners will also serve as support-act curators. Accompanying LCD Soundsystem will be The xx’s Jamie xx, IDLES, Big Freedia, and L’Rain, among others. Lacy will bring along James Blake, Toro y Moi, and Fousheé, while Clairo, Dijon, and Bartees Strange will join boygenius, the indie-rock trio comprised of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker.
Each venue will feature food and drinks from local restaurants, bars and breweries curated for that particular city.
Re:SET, a fresh take on the multi-artist outdoor concert is kicking off this weekend and set to hit 12 cities across four U.S. regions this summer, making a stop in Boston, MA at The Stage at Suffolk Down on June 16th with headliners Steve Lacy, June 17th with LCD Soundsystem, and June 18th with boygenius.
