K'naan at Austin City Limits Festival Show Recap

Friday October 2 at the Austin City Limits Festival - Zilker Park from Austin Kiddie Limits Stage.

Chad Swiatecki from the Austin-American Statesman reports:

Near the end of a nearly life-affirming set Friday evening at the Austin City Limits Festival, Somali world rapper/poet/singer K’naan asked the crowd for their “permission to set this joint on fire.” It was a turn of phrase, of course, but the cheers showered upon the charismatic singer throughout the show suggest they wouldn’t have much minded if K’naan had in fact pulled out a drum of gasoline and a match and set the stage ablaze. Honestly, it’s about the only way things could’ve gotten any more combustible.
