Avicii leads the Lollapalooza pack this weekend

August 3rd, 2012

If you’re not checking out Osheaga this weekend then that means you’re probably headed to Chicago for Lollapalooza. But if you are, be prepared because Lollapalooza will be busting out the Electronic Dance Movement that has been on the airwaves onstop. With headliners like Avicii and Justice it’ll be hard to escape the pounding base and dropped beats. Avicii commented on the uprising of EDM stating, “It’s just been blowing up so rapidly… It’s really interesting to see the bigger festivals getting into it now and recognizing the genre.” Perry Farrell also talked about an Avicii-led direction of today’s music stating, “It’s not just alternative rock that’s happening,” Farrell said in April when the Lolla lineup was announced. “You’ve got Avicii headlining this thing and his music is what is happening.”

Check out the video for Levels by Avicii here and let us know if you’re going to Lollapalooza (or Osheaga) because we want to party with you!
