Beyond the thrills, indulge in a vibrant music festival featuring an electrifying lineup of top artists, renowned DJs, and celebrity appearances. Our past stages have hosted global sensations like Diplo, Steve Aoki, Shaq (DJ Diesel), DJ Snake, Lil Jon, Shaggy, Above & Beyond, Quavo, Gordo, and Deadmau5!
