FUSE TV - Robyn Challenges Typical Festival Headliners With Remix Set at Governors Ball 2016

With no new album on the way and her most recent project with La Bagatelle Magique a year old at this point, Robyn needed to prove how she earned her headlining status at Governors Ball 2016 among the likes of Kanye West and The Strokes. To step up to the challenge, the Swedish singer opted to remix and rework some of her most notable cuts and collaborations, in an unusual yet exciting twist on the typical festival headliner.

Set to close the night at the Honda Stage, Robyn's set was cause for concern as longtime Gov Ballers noted the stage tends to lack an all-encompassing sound like the other three, but none the less a respectable crowd showed up for a groove-heavy goodbye to Day 1. But right from the beginning, it was clear the star was going to throw a few curve balls at the audience with these remixes, solidifed early in the set with beloved 2010 single "Hang With Me" opening with a glitchy, teased-out intro instead of its immediate, lush opening.

But while Robyn kept the audience on edge with her song arrangements, the singer-songwriter looked like she was having the time of her life as she shimmied and shook all over the stage. Decked out in a full-length leotard that boasted sequins on one leg and a pant leg of flowy, material, Robyn swayed and did her best happy-raver dances throughout the performance—feeling the beat even more when guests Maluca and Zhala joined in on the fun. Meanwhile, half a dozen dancers were brought in to vogue, dip and twirl for the audiences, probably to give Robyn a tiny break though she just continued bouncing in the background.
