NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Electronic music producer Deadmau5 and hip hop artists Travis Scott, Young Thug and Lil Yachty are among the headliners for the 2017 installment of the BUKU Music + Art Project, which fuses electronic, hip hop and indie rock in New Orleans' warehouse district.
Each year, a portion of ticket proceeds support The Upbeat Academy Foundation, an educational program for New Orleans youth that teaches the technical and creative skills of music production.
The event also showcases New Orleans food, pop-up street performers and curated, one-of-a-kind art installations by local artists.
