Re:SET, a fresh take on the multi-artist outdoor concert, is set to hit 12 cities across four US regions this summer, featuring headliners LCD Soundsystemboygenius, and Steve Lacy.

Re:SET, AN ALL-NEW ARTIST-CURATED OUTDOOR CONCERT SERIES, DEBUTS WITH LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, boygenius, AND STEVE LACY THIS SUMMER

The innovative concert series creates a unique, localized experience for fans, with each headliner curating the lineup for their respective day. boygenius will be bringing along indie standouts ClairoDijon, and Bartees StrangeTravelling with LCD Soundsystem are electronic artist and one-third of The xx, Jamie xx, the explosive UK rock band IDLESbounce music pioneer Big Freedia, experimental multi-instrumentalist L’Rainand more. Steve Lacy will keep a focus on genre-bending artists with James BlakeToro y Moi, and Fousheé.

Re:SET was conceived as an artist and fan friendly alternative to the standard summer concert 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 (see grid below for detailed information). 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.

“We challenged ourselves to conceive an event that would give both the artists and the fans a different experience,” said President of Global Touring and Talent at AEG Presents, Gary Gersh. “At the end of the day, they both want the same thing: great locations, incredible sound, fantastic sightlines, and the best local options for food and drinks. Re:SET is a very fairly priced, artist-driven weekend where you can hang with friends and enjoy an evening of amazing music.”

Each venue will also feature food and drinks from local restaurants, bars, and breweries that reflect the character and community of each town. Visit www.ReSetConcertSeries.com for more information.

Re:SET is partnering with digital marketing platform Propeller on a philanthropic initiative taking place on each site. Propeller will work with local charities, as well as a national sustainability partner, on a flyaway promotion to send a lucky fan to any Re:SET date, travel and hotel included.

Comprised of singular generational talents Julien BakerPhoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus, 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 31st, 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 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.
