Treasure Island in San Francisco, CA transformed once again this weekend for the third annual Treasure Island Music Festival. Attendees ‘awwed’ and ‘ooed’ at SF’s skyline as they crossed the Bay Bridge on shuttle busses that hustled fans to and from the event.
What started out as a dreary day turned into a beautiful sunset as Beirut and his quartet of brassy Balkan songsters serenaded tweens and music fiends but the big finish came with a blow out show from The Flaming Lips. The Oklahoma psychedelic rockers closed out this years festival with a bang while fans screamed and relished in the confetti and streamers bursting from their set. To put it simply, concert goers went home happy.
