I was fortunate enough to be at second sky (day 1 though) to see this live. Unreal

Surprisingly this was only my 2nd favorite despite Jon being one of the reasons I got tix in the first place. Madeon's Good Faith Forever show blew everything else away!

The forced "I need to be doing something" dancing made me cringe

I dont typically do drugs so live dj sets dont interest me too much

good to listen to on headphones tho

Oh I am by no means a festival go-er ... For most of my life I've enjoyed music primarily through headphones. I've only been to a handful of live concerts/festivals in my life, and as far as drugs, at most I've done edibles for certain shows.

However, I'm a massive Jon Hopkins fan, and several of the artists on the Second Sky lineup (including Porter Robinson, the headliner) are known for having live sets that are highly curated experiences that go beyond what you'd hear on the album. (Which was definitely the case)

FWIW, Jon Hopkins' material does indeed sound good in quality headphones -- really masterful sound design on his last two albums especially

I saw Hopkins back in 2018 and this guy DJ Seinfeld opened for him -- his new album Mirrors is a seriously sweet vibe, highly recommend:
