During the set, the Bleachers man was joined by a host of guest vocalists including Carly Rae Jepsen, CHVRCHES‘ Lauren Mayberry, Claud, Japanese Breakfast and more.
Kicking off with a cover of Van Halen‘s ‘Jump’ with Claud, Mayberry covered a pair of Madonna songs with Antonoff before covers from the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Prince, The Smiths and more were rolled out.

Oh man, oh man, oh man. If you're at Bonnaroo and you missed Jack Antonoff's 1984 Superjam, I feel sorry for you.
It was like a bunch of indie stars decided to have an 80s karaoke night and it was AWESOME.

Reflecting on the show in an Instagram post, Antonoff wrote: “thank you to everyone who made these sets happen.
“i’ve really come up through this festival. played it with three different bands at this point. early tent slots … later in the day … then later …. cut to this weekend … a culmination of a hell of a lot through the years that made this possible. means the world to me.
“nobody does it like bonnaroo. weekends like these are rare if ever. thanks to every musician crew member and audience member who made these two sets just goddamn legendary for us.”
