The festival will begin with the ‘Scripted Orkestra’, a collaboration between the acclaimed producer/composer/performer Henrik Schwarz and the world’s leading non-classical orchestra Metropole Orkest. Following this are some of the best names in dance music such as Adam Bayer, Ferry Corsten, Axwell & Ingrosso, Joris Voorn, Martin Garrix, Maya Jane Coles, Pan-Pot, Seth Troxler, Sven Väth, and Tiesto.
The festival also has a kickass roster of speakers coming in from various fields of the music industry. Keynote speakers confirmed for 2016 include Kickstarter’s head of music Molly Neuman, Def Jam CEO Steve Bartel and COO of Red Light Management Bruce Eskowitz along with Mute founder Daniel Miller will give the keynote on the importance of spontaneity in music. These are the people who understand all aspects of music, so hearing their perspectives is going to be extremely interesting.
