Her tunes are the perfect blend of EDM and pop and will be sure to get the party started.

White Reaper

Fans should expect all that and more x10 during the bands set at this years festival. Make sure to come and party with Turnstile this Labor Day weekend.

JUICE WRLD

However, that’s the reality for Chicago’s own JUICE WRLD. He rose to fame after his popular hit song “Lucid Dream” hit the radio waves and spread like wildfire. While he could easily be mistaken for the sounds of Post Malone, JUICE WRLD is making his unique style of R&B infused hip-hop, his own.

Cashmere Cat

Deep in the metaphorical basement of EDM is where Cashmere Cat existed for the longest time. His sounds were a unique blend of tropical house and synths that omitted lyricism and opted instead for robotic noises. After building up a lengthy following through the release of his EP’s, Cashmere Cat finally released his debut album last year and since then he has blown up. Working with big names like Ariana Grande, Tory Lanez, Selena Gomez and more, Cashmere Cat has definitely got the tunes for your end of summer party.

Post Malone

Nicki Minaj
