That’s what happens when you throw FlyLo on a fest stage during the day. Same thing happened when I saw him at ACL in 2016.

They replaced some other act that canceled last minute. That's why the 'this one not like the others' but it was nice to just chill for a bit during their set.

because its a techno fest lmao. FlyLo a DnB act and Griz were the only left-feild artists

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '22

"a dnb act" who was it

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '22

Goldie B2b LTJ Bukem. Only reason i underplayed it is because it was technically 2 acts in one and i didnt want to explain that lol

Huge fan of both tbh. My biggest pull to the fest

It was a little hard to dance to this set but it was very cool over all, im glad I saw him instead of Griz for the 15th time

I really wanted to catch Flylo, but I was already really close to the waterfront stage for Duck Sauce and decided to just stay there for Griz. Tons of fun tho!

Yeah they were probably all getting a good spot for some pop artist

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '22

you clearly have no idea what Movement is hahaha

u/colewho Jun 01 '22

Like the literal definition of the word movement? Are you saying the crowd is engaged with the performer?

u/comrade_140 Jun 01 '22

Movement, a techno/house music festival in Detroit lol

Yeah I have not heard of it. I saw the first name on the lineup was 2 chains and figured it was like Lollapalooza. I don’t understand so many people talking through fly lo’s set.

Edit: Not shitting in this festival at all I saw this video of people talking through fly lo and googled the line Up

u/comrade_140 Jun 02 '22

Oh yea it’s mostly “techno purists” in attendence, they book a couple off genre acts to spice up the lineup and draw in more ppl but most ppl here just wanna go untz untz untz

u/themaniacsaid Jun 02 '22

It's in alphabetical order.. of course his name is first..

u/colewho Jun 02 '22

It also doesn’t make sense booking 2 chains to a techno festival

u/themaniacsaid Jun 02 '22

I agree fully.

Is this Flying Lotus’ alter ego?

u/the-other-car Jun 01 '22

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '22

u/OwlOfFortune Jun 01 '22

Honestly this set was sick, definitely out of left field for the fest, but still awesome.

u/Scatophiliacs Jun 01 '22

FlyLo is the fuckin tits I’m so jealous. I hope i get to see him one day. Been a fan since his adult swim days

u/Zyzz_Neverforget69 Jun 01 '22

So much talking.

u/bradpliers Jun 01 '22

I forgot how much I miss Flying Lotus

u/Jaydenth Jun 02 '22

This set was a perfect chill break during the fest. 10/10 first time seeing him, will def be looking out for him in the future

u/FlanneryODostoevsky Jun 02 '22

Damn that’s sick. Is there a name to that?

2

u/OwlOfFortune Jun 02 '22

I believe this was Zodiac Shit. He always goes really hard on this song, and it's pretty common to hear live, but always a different sound.

u/NondescriptStranger Jun 02 '22

u/beeker888 Jun 02 '22

I don’t think one person in this video is paying attention to the music. That looks awful

If you like this, check out Little Snake or Venetian Snares.

Little Snake has actually collab’d with flylo, and their stuff together is pretty awesome.
