the lonely island @ bonnaroo 2019 {yup. you read that right}
The most invigorating day of my life was probably glimpsing the lineup for Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival 2019. I’ll probably get a lot of flak for this, but The Lonely Island was on the list and I [probably] literally fell to the floor in excitement. This trio entered the pop culture stage at a time when they could really seep into my every day life. My whole family latched on to their brand of comedy from day 1 with “Lazy Sunday” and continued to release gem after gem over the years. “I’m On A Boat” was definitely on my life soundtrack in high school, and even convinced my sister and I to buy my mother a Pashmina afghan with sailboats on it when I lived in New York.
But their hits since are notable as well, and as Andy Samberg’s hair has changed shape from that original boyishly cute triangular shape, we have fallen more in love with his cohorts Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, who are incredible writers with insanely diverse careers.
The evening was absolutely epic. Photographers were packed into the photo pit like nothing I — or many in attendance — have ever seen. And for good reason. Highlights below.

goo goo dolls @ starlight theatre
On Friday, June 21st, we celebrated the first full day of summer with Goo Goo Dolls under the stars at Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, MO. The day started off with torrential downpours all across the metropolitan area, giving us slim hope for such a beautiful evening. But the weather subsided, and the warmth came back out to play as the soundtrack to our evening was filled with summertime favorites. Check out some photos below!

kikagaku moyo @ bonnaroo 2019
We started our last day at Bonnaroo sleeping in a little bit more than usual. We heard a pop up performance amongst the trees at an ungodly hour in the morning, and then dozed until it was time to wander in and catch Kikagaku Moyo‘s set. The Japanese psych band was absolutely mesmerizing, and we believe you catch a small bit of that feeling from the photos alone.

courtney barnett @ bonnaroo
The last performance we saw before the epic set from Childish Gambino on Friday night at Bonnaroo was Courtney Barnett‘s set at THAT. She came out, fiery and forceful, and the energy kick really gave us the inspiration we needed to keep partying into the night. Highlights below.

third eye blind + jimmy eat world @ starlight theater
On Sunday night, the weather was slightly sticky but with a breeze. When the storm warnings had cleared, it was the perfect night to enjoy music outside. Cue: Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, who regaled us with some of our favorite tracks during a beautiful end to our weekend. Staples like “How’s It Going to Be” and “Semi-Charmed Life” brought more energy to the crowd, of course, with the silhouette of the near-sold out audience looking ethereal against the night sky.
This is our happy place.

hippo campus @ bonnaroo 2019
Bonnaroo 2019 was absolutely spectacular. One of our favorite sets? Hippo Campus, of course! High energy, amazing lyrics, and a dose of that gorgeous sunlight made this the perfect set!

catfish and the bottleman @ bonnaroo 2019
Being from Kansas City, we are already the prime market for Catfish and The Bottlemen. So when we heard they were playing Bonnaroo this year, we knew we had to race over and catch their set. Check out our highlights below!
