BUKU Music + Art Project at Mardi Gras World

BUKU Music + Art Project is a New Orleans based two-day music and arts festival founded in 2012 by Winter Circle Productions and held annually at Mardi Gras World. BUKU considers itself to be a boutique event that delivers a big festival punch without compromising its house-party vibe.

BUKU seeks to serve as a platform for the intersection of pop culture and the New Orleans underground arts community, and combines international musicians with local food vendors, local visual artists, and various surprise pop-up street performers throughout the site.

BUKU’s musical tastes have been a relatively even mix of electronic dance music, hip hop music, and indie rock featuring past performances by Skrillex, Ellie Goulding, Kid Cudi, The Flaming Lips, Calvin Harris, Kendrick Lamar, David Guetta, Passion Pit, Nas,Explosions in the Sky, Diplo, Alt-J, Icona Pop, Chromeo, Flux Pavilion, Sleigh Bells, Earl Sweatshirt, Seth Troxler, Purity Ring, and dozens of others.
