DIIV / Charli XCX / DJ Jazzy Jeff @ Bonnaroo 6/14/2013

Bonnaroo’s inaugural hip hop Superjam–an R&B/rap counterpart to the festival’s long-running, rock-dominated all-star jam sessions–was an uninhibited, messy rager for still-partying night owls at the Tennessee music fest. Paul McCartney might have been the Friday night highlight, but if you wanted to dance, this was the show to see.

The slickest and sickest set came from Solange, who enraptured the crowd with a funky, lovely cover of the Fugees’ version of “Killing Me Softly.” She also sang the hook on surprise guest Ghostface Killah’s Supreme Clientele single “Cherchez La Ghost” and covered “Umi Says,” an uplifting jam from Mos Def’s solo debut. – [Fuse]

Bonnaroo 2013 is definitely in the record books already, and we’ve posted a set of pictures from Day 2 (6/14) big names Paul McCartney, The Wu-Tang Clan, Wilco, and Jim James. But there was other stuff going on that Friday as well, including sets from Calexico, Big K.R.I.T, Charli XCX, Glen Hansard, DIIV, Amadou & Mariam, and the hip hop “Superjam” featuring RZA, Jazzy Jeff, Schoolboy Q, Solange, Chad Hugo (Neptunes/NERD) and more. Photos from those acts are in this post.
