If you can also make it, there’s nonetheless lots to select from early on, on Sunday. ARTY opens up Kinetic, Throttle opens up Circuit Grounds, William Black opens up Cosmic Meadow; there are positively selections. At the least so far as I’m involved, there aren’t actually an entire lot of can’t miss units through the early interval on Sunday.

My first can’t miss set is Eric Prydz, and he doesn’t even take the stage till Midnight. Use Sunday to discover the pageant grounds and take a look at an Artwork Automobile set. After this, there are main selections to be made. You possibly can keep at Circuit Grounds for Rezz, you may go subsequent door to Cosmic Meadow for Zedd. (I nonetheless don’t perceive why Zedd performs that stage. He’s a mainstage artist with visuals ok for Circuit Grounds.) Or, Kygo at Kinetic. I haven’t made my alternative but. That is nearly as good because it will get. After that, the one place I’ll be is at Kinetic for Afrojack b2b R3hab. I can not await the mainstage vibes we’ll be getting from these two.
