The lineup also includes former Primus member Jay Lane, Les Claypool’s Fancy Band member Mike Dillon, hip hop legend DJ Premier, electronic duo The Crystal Method, Darkside’s Dave Harrington, Cibo Matto’s Yuka Honda, Raja Kassis of Antibalas, R&B legend and Meters member George Porter Jr, Jack White drummer Daru Jones, former Prince bassist MonoNeon, and still more.
