The seamless fusion of music and visual aesthetics was ingeniously orchestrated, with electrifying live performances from legendary musicians such as the iconic Iggy Pop, the enigmatic The Strokes, the magnetic Interpol, and an enthralling DJ set by The Kills.
At the very heart of this unforgettable experience lay an exceptional soundtrack, with the song “Hello Operator” resonating throughout the show.
