The Glitch Mob has been tearing it up at festivals this year with appearances at Coachella, Ultra, and Bonnaroo already under their belt and released another album stacked full of good tracks this past year by the name of “Love Death Immortality”, check it out below. The trio, consisting of boreta, edIT, and ooah, bringing along their epic live set up “The Blade” which is “It’s a mesh of different custom software that allows us to really perform our music live. It’s been designed from the ground up to allow us to have fun and rock out, while being a stable platform that will stand up to the rigorous tour schedule.” Should be fun, we’ll be there in our Run The Trap attire and we hope to see you there runnin’ the trap with us!

Obviously, Eminem is one of our sets not to miss. The hip-hop legend doesn’t tour very much anymore, so his live sets are hard to come by. After releasing another awesome album in MMLP2 this year, Eminem returns to Lolla just three years since his last appearance (hopefully he brings a live band with again). Lollapalooza founder, Perry Farrell, was recently quoted saying, “Eminem really takes care of all the aspects — he assaults every sense up there.” His set will close out the opening night of Lollapalooza and I’m getting chills just writing about it. Prep yourself for the madness with Em’s insane track, ‘Rap God’ below.

Early this year, Outkast announced they would be performing at more than 40 festivals around the world throughout the spring and summer of 2014 to celebrate their 20th anniversary as a legendary hip-hop duo.

Bring back memories and get ready to create some new ones with ‘So Fresh, So Clean’ below.

This is definitely a show you don’t wanna miss, The Australian producer and half of What So Not, always puts on a show. His self-titled albums now coming on its second anniversary, but the music itself is timeless. Flume has been a revolutionary figure for the Australian music scene and we’re excited for him to bring that flare to Lollapalooza.

Skrillex is one of the harder working musicians in electronic music, constantly playing shows, running his label, creating music and creating with other artists. He’s also just a cool dude, evidenced by the random, surprise b2b set he played as the sun rose at Bonnaroo this year. His sets this festival season have been op point and they typically feature a very eclectic mix of music, with a little bit of something for everyone. Don’t miss Skrilly shutting down Lolla weekend on Sunday night.
