Run the Jewels, 8:55 PM – 9:55 PM, Captain Pabst Stage El-P blew up the Brooklyn rap scene with 2013’s Cancer 4 Cure (QRO review of release party), and brought about his team-up with Killer Mike (QRO photos at a festival) for 2012’s ‘Into the Wild’ tour.

|
Real Estate, 2:15 PM – 2:55 PM, Captain Pabst Stage Indie-rock reviewers such as Pitchfork have long loved Ridgewood, New Jersey’s Real Estate (QRO live review), including 2012’s sophomore release Days (QRO review) and 2014’s relaxed Atlas (QRO review), so see for yourself if they’re right as the band comes to Project Pabst Atlanta (QRO photos at a festival). |
