Anticipation is growing for the hottest new festival to grace the Crescent City since the final pieces to the puzzle were added last week. The BUKU Music + Art Project is scheduled for March 21-22, 2014.
The addition that is getting the most buzz across the nation is the first-time performance by iconic hip-hop act Nas. He will present his ground-breaking album, Illmatic in its entirety in celebration of the work’s 20th anniversary.

In keeping with a new tradition at festivals all over the world, BUKU also announced VIP-only performances for the S.S.
