What better place to launch festival season that at Sunset Music Festival this Memorial Day weekend in Tampa, Florida. The Sunshine state is prepping for two days of glorified dance music to welcome the upcoming Summer season or as music millennials call it, festival season.
This May 28 & 29, the Raymond James Stadium will be placing three gigantic stages on its field to hold over 45 electronic music producers. For its fifth year, Sunset Music fest will be sure to leave a lasting impression for techno, house, trap, trance and all other electronic music heads alike.
With the weather lining up for a good time, shiny outfits and creative gear will come out to play with big headliners and performers. Last year, the festival had a gigantic ice box for people to chill so the heat will be nothing to worry about. What will be hot are the dance floors. In previous years, this festival has not come in short with the artist lineup. David Guetta, Skrillex, Pretty Lights and other big names have made their debut here and this year is not falling behind. Headlining the first night are Hardwell and Gallantis followed by Jack Ü and The Chainsmokers consecutively.
The schedule is out and the interactive phone apps are buzzing with excitement. Big names and new sounds are going to bring a hot and fun atmosphere to the festivities. MIJA, Anna Lunoe, Adam Beyer, Ferry Corsten, Snails, Seven Lions, Jauz, Sam Feldt, Borgore, Claptone, Bro Safari are just a few on the list that goes on.
For that need to calm the craving and anticipation; even if you can’t make it; feed off these hot mixes from the guests that will be tearing it down this weekend:
