The Chainsmokers will headline the BBC Radio 1 Stage on Friday, while deadmau5 and Tiësto will close the same stage on the Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Back in December, deadmau5 admitted that he was “partially” responsible for the ‘death’ of EDM.
“Shit can go, and nothing really ever comes back,” he added when asked if EDM could ever mount a comeback. “Disco evolved into Chicago warehouse, then there was techno; eventually it evolved into EDM. I’m hard-pressed to think about a genre [that’s as popular as it always was]. Nothing goes full-circle with music.”
