Day for Night Festival organizers announced the Houston arts and
music festival's star-studded lineup Wednesday (Sept. 20), including Thom Yorke, Nine Inch Nails, St. Vincent, Solange, James Blake, and more.
Festival-goers will likely find themselves making tough decisions when choosing between sets to attend, with Pussy Riot, Princess Nokia, Cardi B and others filling out the lengthy roster.
Attendees
also will have the chance to attend a summit on the intersections of
art and activism, led by Chelsea Manning, Laurie Anderson, Nadya
Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot, and Lauren McCarthy. The panel will
conclude with a separate special performance from Saint Heron featuring
Solange, as well as Earl Sweatshirt and Kaytranada.
In addition to the packed musical lineup, the festival will host 18
art installations, with work from artists Ryoji Ikeda, Matthew
Schreiber and more.
Omar Afra, executive producer and co-founder
of Day for Night, says of the festival: "We couldn't be more excited to
host this lineup of who we think are leaders in their disciplines of
arts, music and ideas."
Afra spoke of plans to expand the festival
in the next few years into a multi-venue five-day citywide event,
explaining the importance of the city's ties to the arts.
"Houston
has a long standing legacy of technology, art and culture, and we see
Day for Night as a part of that story in the future," he said.
Day for Night will donate part of its proceeds to the Greater Houston
Community Foundation as a show of solidarity with Houston and the
victims of Hurricane Harvey.
Day for Night will take place Dec. 15-17 at Post HTX in Houston. See the full lineup below:
