EDM’s Biggest News From The Past Week

With the advent of the 24-hour news cycle, media moves at an astronomical pace. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising to find out that there was some big news item that you missed along the way – this aims to help you out with that.


The biggest news, obviously, is Coachella releasing their 2016 lineup. And while reunions from Guns N Roses, LCD Soundsystem and more are certainly noteworthy, the biggest news in concern to us is Calvin Harris. Other EDM acts have come close to top billing, such as Swedish House Mafia, Daft Punk, and Justice, but Calvin is the first to receive premiere headliner status.

“We’re not going to set up a regime testing for something that’s illegal to see if it’s safe to ingest or not.” – Tony Grant, ABC Radio
