Steve Angello (12:30 AM – 2:00 AM) Main Stage
Twitter / Facebook / Soundcloud
Arguably, one of the biggest and most respected names in house music; Steve Angello will leave behind a legacy as one third of the iconic group- Swedish House Mafia. As an extremely talented producer, a lively performer, and owner of Size Records, we have Angello to thank for progression of house music in today’s growing electronic music industry. We couldn’t be more excited to have him headline Friday’s show, and to be present for his first Red Rocks experience.

Knife Party (11:00 PM – 12:30 AM) Main Stage
Twitter / Facebook / Soundcloud
Filth & Bass. That’s what you can expect from the 'seizure music' duo of Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen. Their production is polished, and their songwriting is inspired. The tension builds continuously throughout their music as you anticipate each and every drop, and when they do… there’s no turning back.

Hardwell (9:30 PM – 11:00 PM) Main Stage
Twitter / Facebook / Soundcloud
Dubbed as a ‘DJ to watch,’ Hardwell was voted #24 on DJMAG’s Top 100 list. The remix extraordinaire hailing from the Netherlands, Robert van de Corput, has showcased his skills for top producers such as Fedde Le Grand, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Bob Sinclar, Chris Lake, Laidback Luke, Steve Angello, Martin Solveig, Dada Life, and Gareth Emery. We are bound to hear some unforgettable productions and live remixes from this ambitious up-and-comer.

Felix Cartal (12:30 PM – 2:00 AM) Bass Stage
Twitter / Facebook / Soundcloud
2012 has already proven to be a big year for Canadian producer, Felix Cartal. Felix brings a mature sound, with a sweet combination of club bangers fused with melodic electro ballads. His single “Don’t Turn On the Lights” hit big, and has received playtime across numerous media platforms this year.

3LAU (11:30 PM – 12:30 PM) Bass Stage
Twitter / Facebook / Soundcloud
Justin Blau is primarily known for his jam packed, bangin’ mashups… and his Deadmau5 spin-off stage name. 3LAU uses popular electro and progressive house beats paired with the perfect combination of pop vocals to create an EDM concoction that has everyone singing and dancing along. It’s hard to pick a favorite…. But "DubSex" takes the cake for me.

Harvard Bass (10:30 PM – 11:30 PM) Bass Stage
Twitter / Facebook / Soundcloud
Victor Hugo’s rich musical flavor has landed him some big gigs in the last year. Most recently, Harvard Bass tore up the stage at the 2012 Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas. His style can be described as ‘a combination of elegant, smooth and sophisticated minimalism on one side and bad ass dirty jacking ghetto house grooves with filthy drums and simple, obsessive riffs on the other.’ Count me in.

Krewella (9:30 PM – 10:30 PM) Bass Stage
Twitter / Facebook / Soundcloud
Chicago Natives Krewella have recently released their debut EP, Play Hard, in June 2012. The trio, comprised of producer Kris Trindl and sister vocalists Yasmine and Jahan Yousaf, are making a name for themselves by highlighting the group's sexy female vocals contrasted with heavy hitting bass music beats.
