Typically raucous and exuberant or as** Chicago Sun-Times **characterized as “**bonkers**,” the seven-piece multicultural band led the audience into a breakneck hardcore set with selections from their critically- hailed new album _**SOLIDARITINE**_** **and their full eighth album catalogue including a frenetic cover of Agnostic Front’s “Victim in Pain” and accompanied onstage by the [**Hromovytsia Ukrainian Dance Ensemble of Chicago**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=f5fb38faba&e=615f2b8493).

Festival goers were literally running toward the stage” while **Consequence** hailed “the ever-evolving collective has defied the boundaries of continents and genres in their quest for spiritual illumination through gypsy punk.” **Gogol Bordello **is **Eugene Hutz **(_vocals, guitar, percussion_), **Sergey Ryabtsev**( _violin_), **Pedro Erazo **(_percussion, MC_), **Boris Pelekh **(_guitar_), **Ashley Tobias **(_dance, percussion_), **Korey Kingston **(_drums_), and **Gil Alexandre**( _bass_).
