Electronic music has been making a big splash in the pool of popular culture over the last few years. Artists like Skrillex and Diplo have become popular among the younger generation where "techno" music was once shunned. Concert promoters are now understanding just how important it is to book these rockstar DJs at big events. Coachella is one of the festivals that have welcomed EDM and electronic artists with open arms for decades. With the recent jump in popularity of electronic music, Coachella is understanding just how important it is to book these superstar electronic musicians.
EDM fans may be a little disappointed with the 2017 Coachella lineup while indie electronic fans will most likely be cheering: when it comes to big name club DJs, there aren't too many on the list for this year's Coachella festival. However, artists including Dillon Francis, DJ Snake, Galantis, and Martin Garrix will have EDM fans jumping and fist pumping during their high-energy sets. Newly famous EDM producer Marshmello has also been invited to play a set during the festival. Those EDM fans who like to trace club music back to its roots will be happy to know that. Richie Hawtin, known for his influential beats that have helped shaped EDM as it is today, will be showing his skills on the opening day of Coachella.
Despite the lack of name-brand DJs, true electronic music fans and not those who are just interested in top 40 DJs will find that the lineup at Coachella this year is phenomenal. Two comebacks in the electronic world will be displaying their amazing new music after a long hiatus as both Justice and Crystal Castles will be performing their music which has already wowed current supporters and won both sets of artists a whole new group of hardcore fans. Joining Crystal Castles on Coachella’s opening day are legendary acts such as DJ Shadow, Empire of The Sun, Phantogram, and Bonobo.
Saturday will be a great day for those who want to "Turn Down for What" as DJ Snake takes the stage with his eastern-inspired EDM music. Martin Garrix will also please the traditional EDM fans with his solid pumping club-style set. For those who are looking for a more classic electronic sound, Norwegian legends Royksopp will provide the most traditional sounds. The newest big thing in the electronic scene is Tycho who will also be performing their euphoric sounds on Saturday.
Sunday will bring the new sounds of disco funk-inspired Justice to electronic music fans. Galantis will also perform on Sunday for the more traditional EDM fans who are interested in the classic club feel. One of the biggest treats for Coachella concert goers will be the time in which Porter Robinson and Madeon share the stage, in the last time they will ever play together live. On Sunday, EDM fans will also be able to see the amazing group comprised of Flume and Disclosure, What So Not.
This will be a pretty amazing festival for die-hard electronic music fans. While there are some great names, it can be sad that some of the biggest superstars (i.e. Kygo, Daft Punk, Tiesto, Deadmau5, Kaskade, and Avicii) weren't asked to join the party. However, with the amazing lineup of solid legendary electronic acts, this year at Coachella looks like a great one for true electronic music fans.
