Over the weekend, Adult Swim presented its inaugural festival in downtown Los Angeles. Attendees were treated to performances from Run the Jewels, Neko Case, and Hannibal Buress. They also witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime event in “The Rick and Morty Musical Ricksperience,” a set in which the recently released Rick and Morty soundtrack was brought to life thanks to a 37-piece orchestra and special guests.
