The full four nights of this year's X Avant Festival were curated by A Tribe Called Red's Bear Witness, expanding on the concept of "The Halluci Nation". No surprise, then, that the festival's closing night (with sets from collaborators new and old) ended with all of the performers taking part in a (not so) secret headlining set from ATCR's Halluci Nation Band, mapping journeys taken as well as brand new extensions.

Yassin "Narcy" Alsalman (who took the Halluci Nation to Cape Town in directing the group's "R.E.D." video) seemed gleefully eager to move through a quick set, as if filled with anticipation with what was about to follow. "Coming from the future to the now to the past to the now to the future," he started with the sci-fi spoken word piece here before moving onto some bangers, making an attempt to find something to celebrate amongst the world's madness.
