Kicking off the 2011 concert season was the two-day circus inspired event held in Lincoln Center below the Big Apple Circus tent. The show is part rock concert part circus featuring acrobatics and entertaining bits and commentary by ornately dressed drag queens in between the musical acts.
The first night was opened to the general public with free admission and featured performances by The So So Glos, Voxhaul Broadcast and the now infamous performance by Japanther that caused a near riot when fans rushed the stage.
The following night kicked things off with a walk down the red carpet by the evening’s headliners and some famous faces. Performers Saint Motel, Amazing Baby and headliner Ariel Pink all rocked the carpet as well as Chevonne, Matt Lowell and NGHBRS.
The performances were full of energy and fun surprises including a group of unidentified dancers who took to the stage in the middle of Amazing Baby’s set and rocked out and hyped the crowd as they jumped, danced and twirled behind and sometimes in front of the band. Without a doubt it was a one of a kind event not to be missed.
