storm, as well as art installations, graffiti art, and pop-up breakdancing
crews.
This year's lineup
consists of the world's most impactful artists in music history, including
Grammy Award-winning rapper Tyler, The Creator, psychedelic rock band Tame
Impala, electro house artist Porter Robinson, indie rock band Glass Animals,
and electronic music DJ Amelie Lens. Local artists, including Antwigadee!, DJ

gaining recognition in the city.
