Whether you are a fan of rap, alternative rock, EDM, or pop there’s something for you at BUKU Music + Art Project. BUKU is a two-day immersive music and arts festival that takes place once a year in New Orleans along the Mississippi River. Just one week away, March 25-26, 2022 will be the festival’s ten-year celebration.

Trying to decide which artists to see at BUKU can be quite a difficult task so we wanted to give a shoutout to a few of our favorite “must-see” artists.

EDM fans should definitely make room in their day for talented Australian artist Alison Wonderland. She is an extremely talented DJ and singer and was the highest-billed female DJ in Coachella history.
