Universally acclaimed surrealist filmmaker David Lynch (of Twin Peaks fame) is curating a new music and arts festival in Los Angeles this fall, and the lineup is out of this world. David Lynch’s Festival of Disruption, set to take place on October 8th and 9th at the Ace Hotel Theatre, boasts a roster of performance and presentations by incredible musicians, actors, and artists, from St. Vincent, to Robert Plant & the Sensational Space Shifters, to architect Frank Gehry, to past Lynch collaborators Kyle MacLachlan and Laura Dern.
While the festival’s central creative vision is based on its esteemed curator’s work (including a Blue Velvet documentary and a screening of The Elephant Man), the majority of the event will be dedicated to showcasing the eclectic group of creative minds on hand. Check out the full lineup below:
Music: Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters; St. Vincent; Rhye; Jon Hopkins; Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith; Music From Twin Peaks by Angelo Badalamenti w/ Sky Ferreira and Xiu Xiu
