Throughout her rise to stardom, Rezz has cited Deadmau5 as an icon and a great inspiration for her sound that melds so incredibly with his. The Green Stage brings the bass on day 1, getting crowds headbanging bright and early courtesy of Infekt on the “MOMENTUM” of his heavy new EP VEGGIE GAMES. Though there will be many big names on the Purple Stage, we suggest you look out for the up-and-coming Interplanetary Criminal—if you don’t know, you will soon.
