Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The traveling carnival known as Re:SET is so set on putting a brand new spin on the festival experience that it’s not even using that particular F-word in its name or advertising. Setting down at Brookside at the Rose Bowl over the weekend, it was a rose by any other name, but the concept is just novel enough (and just hard enough to explain in a user-friendly nutshell) that it counts as a semi-reinvention, and a welcome one: the festival as an a la carte buffet. LCD Soundsystem, Boygenius and Steve Lacy are the headliners for a three-day outing hitting different regions across the U.S., where local fans need not attend all three days (and in most cases, probably won’t), but get quite a smorgasbord if they do.

Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor Lovers of ’80s music in the synth-pop and post-punk genres rejoiced Saturday as a stuffed roster including Iggy Pop, Gang of Four, Love and Rockets, Echo and the Bunnymen and the Human League performed at the Cruel World festival in Pasadena. The festival had an unexpected second evening of performances on Sunday after lightning cut short Saturday night’s show before Siouxsie was able to play. It’s not an easy job to give the faithful fans what they want while avoiding sounding like a Totally ’80s greatest hits sampler. Most of the attendees had four decades of hearing these bands under their studded belts, recognizing many of the songs from the very first jangly chord. Though many of the acts have released new music in the ensuing 40 or so years, the audience wasn’t really there to make new discoveries, and the bands obliged with tight sets heavy on MTV staples.

Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor After Saturday’s Cruel World festival at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena was evacuated due to lightning during Iggy Pop’s set, organizers promised that headliner Siouxsie as well as Iggy Pop would return Sunday night with Siouxsie playing “an extended set.” Although rain is in the forecast for Sunday afternoon, the Goldenvoice event posted information on the Cruel World website saying doors would open at 5 p.m., wristbands would be reissued and crucially, parking would be free. “This will be her only North American performance in 2023,” their tweet said. On Saturday night, as Pop played his hit song “The Passenger,” the sound went out twice as lightning flickered far in the distance. He continued playing, but after a more visible lightning strike, he stopped playing and an announcer asked festival-goers to evacuate the Brookside at the Rose Bowl venue, which is completely outdoors. While there was no rain and no further lightning strikes, the festival said the Pasadena Fire Department had ordered the closure for safety.

Music fans were left muttering “Goodbye, Cruel World” on Saturday night, as the Rose Bowl “Cruel World” festival ended prematurely when lightning was spotted and a local storm warning threatened safety.
