There are electronic festivals and then there’s Mad Decent Block Party. If you’ve never been, the now fifteen-city tour originated in Diplo’s Philadelphia as a way to showcase the new acts on his label Mad Decent. It’s in its eight year so it’s a much bigger beast now but they do their best to maintain the block party vibes.
This year’s lineup includes Diplo, Kaskade, Tiësto, DJ Snake, Dillon Francis, Kesha, Flosstradamus, Zeds Dead as well as AlunaGeorge, RL Grime, and What So Not.
