With Global Dance Festival quickly approaching and a massive lineup of incredible artists to digest, it can feel a bit overwhelming when trying to decide who you want to catch this weekend. Although it’s generally hard to plan your time at a festival – and in fact, I always just recommend going with the flow and checking out an artist you’ve never hear before – there are some acts that you need to see this weekend, and we’ve outlined a few of them below!
Who are you excited to see at Global? Let us know in the comments!
deadmau5
Whether you’ve seen deadmau5 live before (last year’s shows at Red Rocks were incredible!) or this would be your first time catching him, he’s always sure to put on an incredible, larger than life live show – perfect for the headlining slot for Friday’s lineup.
Machine Gun Kelly
You may have noticed that this year’s lineup for Global Dance Festival is incredibly diverse, including many rap and hip-hop acts. One of which is the energetic Machine Gun Kelly, who is sure to keep spirits high and the party going all night long.
Claptone
If you love house music (or even if you’re just looking for something to dance to or sing along with) then Claptone is your guy. With stunning melodies and an incredibly upbeat, poppy sound, Claptone is sure to set the mood for the night.
Breathe Carolina
Who could forget about hometown heroes, Breathe Carolina? They’ve come a long way since their scene days in 2008 and are ready to take the EDM world by storm.
Stayloose
Another local favorite, Stayloose will be making his Global Dance Festival debut this weekend! With powerful lyrics and a groovy, soulful sound, he’s bound to feel like a breath of fresh air on Friday.
ARMNHMR
If you’re looking for a larger than life, out of this world musical experience, then you need to check out ARMNHMR. With a stunning, cinematic sound, they’re sure to transport you to another world entirely.
Rich The Kid
With his new single, “Leave Me” out now and his album, Rich Forever 4 dropping soon, it’s safe to say that Rich The Kid is going to be on top of the world at Global this weekend.
Jai Wolf
Jai Wolf‘s twinkly, atmospheric sound is the perfect soundtrack for summer. Like ARMNHMR, he’s sure to transport you to a different mindset and different world all together.
SoDown
With a summery, jazz influenced sound, you’re in for a real treat if you catch SoDown‘s set on Friday! It’ll be the perfect chill and laid-back break from headbanging on the rail or dancing your ass off all night.
Troyboi
Bass heavy, experimental and most importantly, incredibly fun, Troyboi‘s sound will provide concert-goers with something a little different on Friday.
