EDM is gaining major popularity as a music genre among Gen Z! To support the demands of a growing fan base, large music festivals such as Lollapalooza and Coachella are now including more music production (famous DJs) in their lineups. This is exciting news for EDM listeners, as the new popularity has gained recognition for a new music genre. “EDM” is an umbrella term for electronic dance music, and plays in clubs and at raves. However, this niche scene is expanding into the mainstream crowds with popular artists such as John Summit and Discolines. If you’re feeling groovy this festival season, keep reading to learn more about upcoming dates near you!
EDM’s Biggest Midwest Takeover
We are excited to attend Breakaway this year in St.Paul, MN! The festival dates are June 26-27 and will take place on Allianz Field. The two-day festival will feature big-name artists as well as up-and-coming DJs who frequently play in the Twin Cities. The most popular among them are Subtronics and Zedd. Although the lineup schedule is not released yet, we already know we are there for all of it, N Crowd!
Ticket prices for Breakaway are now available with standard 2-day GA passes estimated at $199. There are pricier options available for those looking to get a more VIP experience! Starting at $339, fans can indulge in photo ops with their favorite artists, access to a private bar, and more.
John Summit At Lollapalooza
Lollapalooza is coming to Chicago July 30 to August 2! The artist recently headlined at Ultra Music Festival in Miami and is becoming no stranger to larger crowds. Summit will be playing Grant Park on the first day of the weekend-long extravaganza, Thursday, July 30. General admission prices for a one-day pass to see Summit start at only $185, which is a steal compared to four-day admission starting at $439. Be sure to pick up your tickets now, N Crowd. With new releases from Summit, like his upcoming album CTRL ESCAPE dropping April 15, this is a show you do not want to miss.
EDM Artists Performing at Coachella
This festival is right around the corner! Coachella is taking over California April 10-19. Although headliners do not feature EDM artists, many notable producers play on this year’s roster! Some of our favorites include Kettama and Prospa performing on April 10 & 17. Max Styler, who frequently opens for Summit in Boulder, CO, is also performing. This solid group is a mix of techno and house that we suspect will continue to grow in popularity and put EDM in the spotlight once again.
These events only happen once a year, N Crowd! Let’s kick off the season with some good music, dancing, and an inevitably good time.
