Today began North Coast Music Festival’s second day of acts, with performances by artists such as Talib Kweli, Little Dragon, Kid Cudi and many others. Tomorrow will close the festival’s 5th Anniversary with performances by Snoop Dogg, Riff Raff and more.
Earlier this summer at Ottawa’s Bluesfest, Action Bronson continued to rap during his set while walking from the stage to the port-o-pottys. Tonight at Chicago’s North Coast Music Festival he may have topped himself. After jumping into the crowd in the middle of his performance at NCMF’s ‘773 Stage’ Action made his way through his crowd and walked on the ‘312 Stage’, which was setting up for Bassnectar’s headlining performance.
Today kicked off the opening day of Chicago’s 5th annual North Coast Music Festival, which will features acts like Kid Cudi, Snoop Dogg, Talib Kweli, Bassnectar, Action Bronson and many others over the weekend. Today we caught some of our favorite acts of the festival, including BadBadNotGood, Chet Faker, Action Bronson and Bassnectar.
