! like we all know he's been killing it in the edm scene for years and now he gets to bring that energy to one of the biggest festivals in the world 
. and can we talk about how proud detroit is going to be? 
griz's hometown pride is so inspiring, especially when you see him giving back to his community through his "12 days of grizmases" initiative 
. it's not just about the music for him, it's about spreading love and positivity wherever he goes 
. i'm def buying tix ASAP because i need to experience that future-funk magic for myself 
his "future-funk" sets are always so infectious and high-energy 
I love how he uses his platform to support local youth in Detroit through that amazing holiday initiative 
! But you know what would've been lit back in '07 when Bonnaroo first started? I mean, it was like that one summer where everything just felt right... and then it came to an end too soon 
. Anyway, GRiZ is gonna bring the house down with his sax skills, no doubt about it! I'm hyped to see some of these artists perform, but can you imagine if The Strokes were still together like they used to be? Man... those were the days 
. how much did he really have to do to get picked for this? is it just his hometown vibe or is there more to it? also, 12 days of grizmasc is actually kinda awesome for supporting local youth... maybe someone should fact check on the funds raised for those programs tho?
GRiZ is going to slay at Bonnaroo in 2026!!! I'm beyond hyped for his future-funk sets to get the whole crowd vibing 
This is like, the perfect way to show off Detroit's sick music scene and I'm so proud of my hometown hero 
GRiZMAS initiative is literally changing lives and now he gets to share that energy with the world 
It's gonna be a wild ride at Bonnaroo and I'm 100% ready for it 
. It's awesome that he's sharin' the love for Detroit's music scene with a global audience 
. His "future-funk" sets are always so infectious, I've had them blasting in my car for days 
. And let's be real, Detroit rep is EVERYTHING

. Can't wait to see the lineup and experience it all with the fam!
. gotta respect him for giving back to the community too, especially with that cool "12 Days of GRiZMAS" thing he's got goin' on
