Ridiculous

Lineup
Major Lazer, the EDM/dancehall supergroup created by American DJ and producer Diplo, dropped their highly anticipated second album Free the Universe in March 2013. Diplo calls Major Lazer’s music “digital reggae and dancehall from Mars in the future," and despite minimal radio airtime, the band has built an incredible global following in just a few short years. Upbeat, wild, and raucous, Major Lazer's live concerts are high-octane affairs characterized by dancing, moshing, and an indefatigable amount of stage energy from band members Diplo, Walshy Fire, and Jillionaire. On 2013's Free The Universe tour, the band treated ticket buyers around the world to a futuristic Jamaican beach party, earning praise from fans for their impeccable stage design, state-of-the-art sound, and a light show reminiscent of Pink Floyd-era psychedelia. Major Lazer mastermind Diplo has produced and worked with many big name artists over the years, including M.I.A, Santigold, and Snoop Lion (formerly Snoop Dog), and high-profile surprise guest appearances are a common occurrence at the band's live shows.
Major Lazer made their album debut in 2009 with Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do, which featured Santigold on lead single “Hold the Line” and scored one of the biggest club hits of the year with "Pon De Floor." 2013 follow-up Free The Universe was an even bigger success, spawning eight singles and resulting in some of the year's most outrageous music videos, including the bootylicious video for "Bubble Butt." The band's kaleidescopic sound has spawned a global following, earning them featured slots at music festivals around the world including Coachella, the Pitchfork Music Festival, and the Falls Music and Art Festival in Lorne, Australia. As one of the most unique and creative acts on the road, Major Lazer has fans eagerly awaiting their 2014 tour dates.
One of the best shows I've ever been to. Hands down. And I've been to over 500 shows.
This is probably the best show I've ever been to. Major Lazer puts on a hell of a show!
It was a fantastic day out, with my favorite artists. Nadastrom and Major Lazer played the longest sets and they killed it. Unforgettable day!
Had an amazing time! It was so packed! One of my favorite things was the Puma photo booth, great way to capture the moment. Also loved the free tshirts. The prices of food and drink were a little high but it's whatever. All of the performers put on great sets, had me jamming the whole time! This was my first time going Mad Decent and I am definitely doing it again!
Flosstrodamus and Riff Raff rocked it - but Dillion Francis really set it off and Major Laser just KILLED it... the crowd went nuts!
Best night if my life. Yup. Diplo killed it. And yeah.. I chilled with Molly. And it was awesome.
Truly the best show I've attended so far, better than festivals. Incredible energy, amazing venue, tolerable crowd. This party had everything going for it.
Best show ever . Enough said. BEST. SHOW. EVER Don't think just go, buy your ticket before its sells out and go see this show . See it
Over all the nlock party was amazing! I was a little disappointed in Vip tjough. Typically vip allows for discounted venue drinks and food and there was none of the above. It also allows for separate bathrooms which thete were none. The show was an amazing experience and I have not one complaint about the artists performance!
I went to MDBP philly and it was amazing! the venue is great, you can stand high up and still see most of the stage. I love all the acts that were there particularly Dillon Francis, Nadastrom, Flosstradamus, and Major Lazer of course. Let me tell ya, Major Lazer sure knows how to throw a party and get keep the crowd going wild. My favorite act was Dillon Francis, his production skills are out of this world. All around a fun time and everyone there was chill/having a great time going crazy to awesome music.
