Music Midtown 2023 in Photos
Photos by Michael Dunaway and Johnny Dunaway
It wasn’t quite the emergency situation that Burning Man turned into this year, but the Music Midtown 2023 turned out to be a very muddy affair nonetheless. Those who braved the lakes of mud (and the earsplitting screams of 40,000 teenage girls at a certain show Saturday night) were rewarded with a particularly spirited edition of the fest. From Leah Kate celebrating her album release the night before, to Maude Latour closing out her tour, to The National Parks kicking off their new one, it was a weekend of special occasions. On top of all of that, Billie Eilish declared to a delighted crowd that her previous Midtown Music set was her favorite she had ever played. Here are some of our favorite moments from the fest.
