BIG EARS FESTIVAL

Sun Ra Arkestra & Yo La Tengo

“A meeting of the minds.” – The Relix

Indie rock legends Yo La Tengo join forces with the interstellar jazz pioneers of the Sun Ra Arkestra for a cosmic journey unlike any other. Known for their genre-defying sound, Yo La Tengo’s lush melodies and hypnotic rhythms find a new dimension as they collide with the Arkestra’s boundless, avant-garde explorations. Together, these two iconic ensembles merge rock, jazz, and free-form improvisation into an expansive sonic tapestry, blurring the lines between past, present, and future. This rare collaboration promises an unforgettable performance that ventures beyond the confines of genre—a testament to the limitless possibilities of music and the joy of artistic discovery.
