Headliner · Thursday

DJ Snake

Paris-born hit machine, from 'Turn Down for What' to 'Taki Taki', and festival main stages are his natural habitat.

DanceTrap

Headliner · Thursday

James Hype

Tech house as sleight of hand: the mixing itself is the show, cut so fast the transitions become the hook.

Tech-houseHouse

Headliner · Thursday

Subtronics

Philadelphia riddim-dubstep heavyweight, all syncopated wobble and abrasive sound design, with a funk streak and a long-running tag-team with GRiZ.

DubstepBass

Headliner · Friday

Alesso

Swedish-house heir with euphoric progressive anthems polished to a stadium shine.

Progressive-houseDance

Headliner · Friday

Marshmello

The producer in the marshmallow helmet, who turned festival-sized melodic drops into a pop career without ever showing his face. 'Alone', 'Silence' and 'Happier' all live here.

Future-bassDance-popElectronic

Headliner · Friday

Seven Lions

Melodic dubstep with a trance heart, with soaring vocal tops over drops that still hit hard underneath, Ophelia-label worldbuilding included.

Melodic-dubstepTrance

Top billing · Thursday

ACRAZE

The producer behind "Do It To It", the house record that went from a looped vocal to every main stage in a season, and a set built to land that hook again every few minutes.

HouseTech-house

Top billing · Thursday

Deathpact

An anonymous, masked bass project that treats its own identity as an unsolved puzzle, with cryptic rollouts wrapped around heavy, cinematic drops.

BassDubstepExperimental-bass

Top billing · Thursday

DJ Diesel

Shaquille O'Neal playing dubstep, and playing it as heavy as anyone on the circuit rather than as a novelty booking.

DubstepBass

Top billing · Thursday

GRAVEDGR

Hard trap at its most cartoonishly violent, air horns over drops built like demolition work.

TrapRiddim

Top billing · Thursday

Kloud

American producer working the heavier end of festival electronic music, with bass-forward drops built for large rooms rather than headphones.

Dance

Top billing · Thursday

Matroda

Croatian producer specialising in bass-house edits that detonate on a festival system, with label-boss instincts and peak-time aim.

Bass-houseTech-house

Top billing · Thursday

Mija B2B sim0ne

Mija built a career on refusing to pick a genre, and this is her sharing the booth rather than playing a set, two selectors trading records for the night.

Bass-houseHouse

Top billing · Thursday

Oliver Heldens

Dutch producer whose 'Gecko' helped define the bouncy, bass-heavy house sound of the mid-2010s, with a harder, darker side under his HI-LO alias.

Top billing · Thursday

R3HAB

Dutch-Moroccan producer with a release schedule that never lets up, making clean, radio-shaped dance-pop on a big-room chassis.

EDMDance-popBig-room

Top billing · Thursday

Smoakland

Bay Area duo working the funky, wonky end of West Coast bass, with Oakland low-end and a grin.

BassDubstep

Top billing · Thursday

Tchami

The French producer who more or less named future house: gospel organ over a bass line that drops out where everyone else piles on. Runs the Confession label.

Future-houseHouse

Top billing · Thursday

Walker & Royce

Brooklyn duo making tech-house with actual jokes in it, with Dirtybird's sense of humour intact and wobbling basslines with a wink.

Tech-house

Top billing · Friday

BUNT.

Banjo-house crossover with folk samples and organic textures and festival-sized drops, stomping the line between hoedown and main stage.

FolktronicaDance

Top billing · Friday

Flosstradamus

The crew who effectively launched festival trap out of Chicago's juke and footwork scene, with rattling 808s and hometown rave DNA.

TrapJuke

Top billing · Friday

Gordo

Formerly Carnage, rebuilt as a tech-house producer with a Latin percussion streak and a much better record collection: a genuine second act.

Tech houseHouse

Top billing · Friday

Jessica Audiffred

Mexico's leading bass export and a genuinely relentless live presence, with heavyweight drops delivered with headliner command.

DubstepTrap

Top billing · Friday

Joshwa

UK producer with a bouncy, vocal-sample-driven approach to tech-house, making cheeky peak-time tools with London swagger.

Tech-house

Top billing · Friday

Loud Luxury

Canadian duo of Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace, whose 'Body' with Brando carried a rolling house bassline onto radio worldwide. Club-ready house built around singalong hooks.

Dance

Top billing · Friday

NGHTMRE

Half of Gud Vibrations, making heavy festival trap with a melodic streak that keeps widening, drops built for fireworks cues.

TrapBass

Top billing · Friday

Space Laces

Sound design used as a blunt instrument: heavy, surgically precise dubstep from a producer other producers study.

DubstepRiddim

Top billing · Friday

Taiki Nulight

UK bass house with garage in its bones: rolling, swung and bass-forward.

Bass-houseUK-garageHouse

Top billing · Friday

TOKiMONSTA

Brainfeeder-schooled producer whose beats stayed warm and melodic while the LA scene got colder. Beat-scene royalty with a survivor's story.

ElectronicBeat-music

UK producer whose rhythmically intricate trap sounds like nobody else's, with 'Do You?' swagger and global percussion baked in.

TrapFuture-bass

Top billing · Friday

Wax Motif

Australian producer specialising in bass-house with real swing to it: G-house slink at festival scale.

Bass-houseG-house

On the bill · Thursday

AHEE

Los Angeles producer Chris Adams, working breaks, bounce and dubstep into high-energy bass sets that run almost entirely on his own material.

Electronic

On the bill · Thursday

Discovery Project

Not a fixed act but an open-call talent search whose winner takes the slot, so the name behind it changes each time it appears.

Electronic

On the bill · Thursday

HOL!

French producer working at the abrasive end of dubstep, with distorted, metallic basslines and tearing drops aimed at the heaviest crowds.

Electronic

On the bill · Thursday

Rinzen

Melodic techno with the melody genuinely in front, long builds and a synth line you leave humming.

Melodic-technoProgressive-house

On the bill · Thursday

Zingara

Baltimore producer working the heavier, more textural end of dubstep.

Dubstep

On the bill · Friday

Archie Hamilton

London minimal and tech house at its most patient, long stripped grooves that pay off over an hour instead of every ninety seconds. Runs Moscow Records.

Bass producer folding 140, UK garage and house into one rolling sound, with collaborations alongside TaikiNulight and Peekaboo.

BassUK-garageHouse

DubstepRiddim

On the bill · Friday
