Little Dragon's Guide to Bonnaroo
Last month, Little Dragon dropped Nabuma Rubberband, their fourth studio album which earned the Swedish band their highest-charting U.S. album yet (No. 24 on the Billboard 200), setting up the festival staple band for their biggest season yet.
With Coachella already under their belt, Little Dragon are gearing up for another major U.S. fest with Bonnaroo 2014 this weekend, their second appearance at the Tennessee festival following their debut showing in 2012. On a day off in her hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden, LD's bewitching frontwoman Yukimi Nagano recalls her best tips, memories and stories to help you prep for the best Bonnaroo ever.
The Three Essentials:
[Bonnaroo] was really hot. I'd definitely be hydrated. Coconut water, sunhat and sunscreen.
Bonnaroo Crowd's Vibe:
It's definitely a huge festival, huge lineups and so much going on. You want to see so many bands, but you don't have time to see everything because, at least from our perspective, we just didn't. But it's just a really good vibe—we're there for the music, you know?
Her No. 1 Tip:
Not because this happened to me, but don't get drunk and fall asleep in the sun. It seems like it could be pretty brutal.
