Immediately following the festival weekend, we extend the Dripping experience with an incredible lineup at Pioneer Works featuring some of this year’s key performers alongside the Sun Ra Arkestra.
It’s a rare honor to present one of the most essential and visionary avant garde ensembles of any era. There is perhaps no other group who has dedicated themselves so wholeheartedly to liberation on every level - social, political, spiritual and musical - as the Sun Ra Arkestra. Bandleader Marshall Allen, now over 100 years old, joins the group. His playing has brought an absolutely visceral intensity and urgency to the Afrofuturist movement that Sun Ra pioneered. This is a special occasion.
All the other artists belong to overlapping lineages of liberatory expression. Young Boy Dancing Group, Colin Self and Cel Genesis each bravely push the boundaries of their own formats into something radical and free. Dripping co-founders Baby Leo and Relaxer open the night with a welcoming DJ set.
Whether you made it to the festival or not, this is your chance to tap in, commune and have your mind blown by a night of peerless music and fully-committed expression. Get tickets now via Pioneer Works (link below).
