Olivia Rodrigo and David Byrne play “Burning Down the House” in Gov Ball

“We are in an unpleasant time,” prophesied David byrne 42 years ago on his group Talking heads“The biggest hit of Billboard Hot 100. He probably did not make specific predictions in the 1920s5 Governors Festival in New York, but that is certainly what was in reserve for participants on Saturday (June 7), while heavy rains and a possible thunder and a lightning forced the festival to delay your start of the day by four hours.

Consequently, the headliner Olivia Rodrigo I did not go on stage at Gov Ball before 9:35 pm He – but the packaged public showed that few or no fans had been deterred by bad weather and late start time. And with its usual captivating set of heartbreaking acoustic ballads and alt-rock riffres that cutting off the stomach, Rodrigo had a surprise in reserve for those who had remained with an appearance by guest Byrne, while he came out at the duo with the singer-songwriter on the head of 1983 “Burning Down”.

After being presented by a Starstruck Rodrigo, Byrne – which could be seen earlier in the night by checking Feid’s performance on Kiehl’s stage – emerged in an entirely white outfit, covered by a red overalls to correspond to Rodrigo’s two -piece outfit. The two exchanged lines throughout the classic of New Wave, still incendiary, then Rodrigo joined Byrne in some of his signature movements on stage – folding the knees, flowing in place, and generally looking at his traditional and incredibly cool traditional combination.
