Zeds Dead-Saturday @ Electronic Stage
When asked Chicago EDM lovers who they could not miss at next week’s festival, Zeds Dead definitely was the winner. Montreal DJs, Hooks and DC, are the bass duo which form the talented collective Zeds Dead. The two will be a great addition to the lineup as they master their high energy electronic beats with some hip-hop verses. POD loves some us some hip-hop, therefore we are super excited to see what Zeds Dead has in store for us.
The Chainsmokers-Sunday @ DJ Stage
Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, better known as The Chainsmokers, are one act that we definitely can’t miss at Jefferson’s park next weekend. The duo have been so consistent with their successful back-to-back singles such as “#Selfie”, “Roses”, and “Don’t Let Me Down”. With that being said, The Chainsmokers will, without a doubt, have the crowd going insane with their hits that will have all of us singing along to.
RL Grime-Sunday @ Electronic Stage
The talented member of the Los Angeles collective WeDidIt is coming to Chicago which has all the trap lovers thrilled beyond words. RL Grime is one EDM artist to constantly have lit set with his hard-hitting, hip-hop incorporated beats along with a futuristic bass sound. The California native is known to have an mind blowing set with his sound along with lighting and effects, so this is one set you will forsure catch POD at.
Troyboi-Friday @ Electronic Stage
Chicago is so excited to welcome London’s finest Troyboi. The rising EDM artist is one talented DJ that needs to be watched out for. He hits a variety of genres and his high hitting trap beats are predicted to leave him as one of the most memorable sets of the night. Troyboi is expected to play his well known tracks such as “O.G.”, “Soundclash”, and the Nina Sky and Diplo featured banger “Afterhours”. Don’t miss out on this set, you won’t regret it.
Jamie xx-Friday @ Electronic Stage
Being one of our favorite acts on the list, Jamie xx brings such a unique electronic sound to the event that we can’t miss out on. The London producer brings a calmer sound with a mix of alternative, indie, pop and rock. If there had to be a sound to go along with “good vibes all around”, Jamie xx would definitely be it. So take a break from all those hard hitting beat drops and enjoy the beautiful sound that Jamie xx has to offer.
If you think all the fun is over after the festival, you are wrong. Different venues across the city are holding after parties that will be a perfect way to end the night. From Flux Pavilion @ the House of Blues to Carnage @ The Mid, you have such a selection of shows to choose from. Click here to check out where all of your favorite DJs will be at.
