Over a hot summer weekend in June, the inaugural Re:SET concert series created a festival atmosphere in a more intimate setting outside of the Texas Trust Credit Union Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas. Indie acts Boygenius, Clairo, Dijon, and Bartees Strange all performed for the mostly young crowd on the first day of the three-day event.

Though it was set up in a festival format, one of the biggest advantages of Re:SET was that there was only one stage. No scheduling conflicts allowed festival goers to be situated in a more relaxed environment with no worries about catching another band in time. Of course, the downside was the Texas heat that had no mercy on summertime festival attendees standing for hours in direct sunlight.

Even with the toasty temperatures, Bartees Strange opened Re:SET with a mid-afternoon set of impassioned indie rock featuring many songs from his critically acclaimed 2022 sophomore studio album Farm to Table. Rising lo-fi R&B artist Dijon- whose album Absolutely was released in 2021- soulfully performed sitting down with a mix of electronic, pop, and R&B sounds.

Next was indie pop sensation Clairo. As the large mass of Gen Z girls flooded the front row, it was obvious that Clairo’s understated indie pop at sundown was the perfect predecessor for headliner Boygenius.

Boygenius, consisting of singer-songwriters Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker, enthralled the crowd with the impassioned vocals and vulnerable songwriting that made their full-length album The Record so impactful.

Those that attended Re:SET on the third day were not as lucky. After Big Freedia and Idles played, the rest of the day’s performances were cancelled due to storms. Even if the indie lovers didn’t get their chance to see headliners LCD Soundsystem, there was a weekend full of memorable performances to reminiscence about.
