Indie pop band Cults will perform at Dillo Day on Saturday afternoon, Mayfest announced Wednesday night.
The announcement was sent via a push notification from Dillo Day’s new mobile application.
Cults completes the Dillo Day main stage lineup. The band will perform in the third of five non-student slots in the lineup, after OK Go and Chance The Rapper and before Ryan Hemsworth and 2 Chainz. Cult has a female lead singer, making it the first female-fronted act on the main stage since Regina Spektor in 2010.
Michael Bass, Mayfest’s director of concerts, said bringing a female-fronted act has been discussed since last year.
“We’ve definitely recognized the lack of female presence at Dillo and that’s been a number one priority for my committee,” the Communication junior said. “We’re also really excited that the student body feels just as passionately about having a female-fronted act on stage.”
Cults is from New York was founded in 2010. The band has released two albums, “Cults” in 2011 and “Static” in 2013.
“We love this act,” Bass said. “We’re very happy with this act from their music, their sound and their performance.”
