Francis And The Lights, Thursday March 19th

Late of the Pier, Thursday March 19th

Last week, FADER and Levi's revamped a field by downtown Austin into a musical playground - with stores, washing machines, endless open bars, and large stage, from Wednesday, March 18th to Saturday, March 21st. In the The Levi's®/FADER FORT,  we relaxed, sipped lemonade and watched RCRD LBL featured artists Late of the Pier and Lissy Trullie and a horde of other new and established acts. Save too few bathrooms, the fort was pretty heavenly this year. Kanye West memorably closed out the Fort by starting up a dance party with Kid Cudi and his G.O.O.D. crew and bringing in surprise guests Common and Erykah Badu. Kudos to FADER, Levi's® et al. for good times.
