Skrillex returns to Edmonton with 12th Planet, Brodinski, and Cashmere Cat in late December

/

Skrillex will be making his triumphant return to Edmonton on Friday, December 27th at the Shaw Conference Centre which promises to be a massive party. Why you ask? Because Boodang and Union Electronic has decided to stack the lineup as Skrillex' close friend 12th Planet will be there along with Bromance head Brodinski, and Cashmere Cat. Not bad at all I say. 

Skrillex is back on the watch list after laying low with his Dog Blood project for much of the year while spending a lot of time in the studio. Last month Skrillex gave fans an indication that he hasn't abandoned his older style with the release of the Try It Out EP along with OWSLA mate Alvin Risk. With a rumoured new album ready to be released anytime, Skrillex is ready to show off what he's done in the studio to his massive fan base.

Brodinski, the French DJ/Producer doesn't regularly tour in Canada so the ability to get to see him perform at a major venue like the Shaw Conference Centre will be his opportunity to show off the Bromance Records vibe. Expect to hear a trap/hip hop infused set from him. 12th Planet, fresh from his solid set at EDC Orlando, will always be there to turn up the heat as requested. Cashmere Cat (Norwegian artist Magnus August Hoiberg) is another name that normally doesn't get to visit Edmonton, so this is a great opportunity to check all of these artists out all in one night. 

Tickets go on sale starting on November 20th (pre-sale password is leaving), while the general sale starts on November 22nd at 10:00 am. 

General Admission starts at $49 while VIP tickets are $89. Click here for more information.

The Veld Music Festival surprises fans with 4 noteworthy DJs added to the lineup

/

Today the Veld Music Festival surprises fans by announcing 4 DJs to the lineup that offers up a lot of diverse styles to the Toronto festival. Whereas last year there was a huge focus on big room DJs, this year they make a statement by booking the legendary New York DJ Danny Tenaglia and Toronto DJ of underground fame, Carlo Lio. There is also something for bass fans as 12th Planet and Pretty Lights were also added to the lineup. 

The important takeaway from this announcement is that the Veld Music Festival is branching out to more genres of EDM this year and that you can expect more underground and bass/dubstep DJs in future lineup releases. EDM Canada fully supports festivals booking on a more diverse lineup that allows fans to stage hop and experience new DJs that they may never have thought of if these DJs came to Toronto by themselves. The Veld Music Festival will continue to add to their DJ lineup everyday until April 3rd.

Update: the organizers have since ​added Dirty South, Adventure Club, Thomas Gold, GTA,  Sub Focus, Modestep, John Digweed, and Victor Calderone ​to the lineup:
