The 2018 Treasure Island Music Festival took place at Middle Harbor Shoreline Park in Oakland on Oct. 13 and 14 after a one-year hiatus. Though naysayers may have entertained the idea that the sabbatical from the scene would have led to rustiness, the festival went mostly without a hitch. The performances went smoothly save for the thirty-minute delay before A$AP Rocky’s set. Though the trademark Ferris wheel was not part of this year’s festival, the breathtaking view of the Bay Bridge and the San Francisco skyline was inescapable and more than made up for this ab- TAME IMPALA closed the 2018 Treasure Island Music Festival with a highly anticipated, high energy set, complete with laser light shows, fog, and confetti.
