JAI WOLF makes his much anticipated return to the event, regarded as one of the foremost hitmakers of the genre. LOUIS THE CHILD continue to triumph on the Holy Ship! stage as the unsuspecting, fun-loving duo whose infectious live energy attracts an ever growing fan base. LANE 8 will prevail, once again, both with his headlining melodic house mastery and intimate after hours soirée, This Never Happened.
