Lollapalooza 2012 Must-See Artists Pt. II


Today we'll continue our Lollapalooza countdown with Part Two.

#8: Bassnectar
Lorin Ashton has become a regular electronic mainstay for major music festivals in recent years, performing at Lollapalooza as recently as 2009. Despite his career beginning over 11 years ago, the San Francisco native has been riding the ongoing wave of popularity that basically any big name in the electronica scene has been getting. Now, with tremendous stage shows and seizure-educing light extravaganzas, Bassnectar has earned a reputation as one of the genre's 'must-see' acts.

You can catch Bassnectar headlining at Perry's, on Friday, August 3 at 8:45 p.m.



#7: The Weeknd
Because I haven't talked enough about Abel Tesfaye over the past year and a half, now I finally get my chance to catch the much-hyped Canadian singer in a huge setting.

The Weeknd has no immediate plans to release anything new following up his super-acclaimed three free mixtapes; House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echo of Silence. But since his April performance at Coachella, he's been getting even bigger, selling out shows with relative ease.

You can catch Tesfaye performing at the Red Bull Soundstage, Saturday, August 4 at 6 p.m.



We'll continue with Part III tomorrow ...
