Disclosure And Friends Help Us Lose Our Minds

Disclosure And Friends Help Us Lose Our Minds

When Disclosure played Coachella last spring, they were on the rise, but this year’s set felt like a victory lap for the incredible year they just had. Fittingly, Howard and Guy invited back many of the names that helped make that year so special. Aluna Francis sang “White Noise,” Mary J. Blige performed “F For You,” and Sam Smith emerged at the end of the set to grin his way through “Latch.” Even though they play house music, it was more of a rock concert than a DJ set, with lots of live instrumentation, breaks between songs, and of course the focus on pop songcraft that has always separated Disclosure from the pack. It’s no coincidence they were on one of the primary outdoor stages rather than the EDM-centric Sahara Tent.
