MUMBAI: After creating buzz with the news of Eric Prydz performing at Vh1 Supersonic and going in for an encore with Macklemore, Supersonic continues to slay the festival line-up game by unveiling its third headliner – Zedd. Renowned dance music producer Zedd returns to India to enthral the audience with his magnificent performance.
Grammy Award Winner Zedd, also known as Anton Zaslavski, burst into the music scene a few years ago with his remix from Skrillex and the Doors – ‘Breakin’ A Sweat’. He followed this up with his own track ‘Spectrum’ and ‘Clarity’, his debut album both of which topped dance music and popular charts across the world. He followed this up with the release of his sophomore album ‘True Colors’ which spawned a global tour, which set standards in production for its innovative use of visuals, lasers and light along with Zedd’s own brand of scintillating dance music. Supersonic 2017 is delighted to bring Zedd on as one of the headliners for the festival. This year marks the second consecutive appearance by the artist on the Supersonic festival stage.
Supersonic also continues to live up to its promise of putting music first. The festival has revealed a diverse range of genres in its fourth edition including Big Room, Hip-hop, Electro, House, Trance, Techno and Drum n’ Bass.
