2013 was a particularly prolific year for Diplo. It included releasing music and embarking on a tour as one half of Major Lazer, his side-project with London-based DJ and producer Switch. It's also meant hitting the road for concerts at both the X-Games and Coachella. He even announced a new collaboration with Skrillex, called Jack U, which saw them make their live debut in San Diego in September. He followed that performance with a set of his own at Tomorrow World in Atlanta.
LA’s globe-conquering, trend-setting producer extraordinaire is perhaps most famous for his in-studio collaborations with the likes of Beyonce, Snoop Dog, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and countless other hit-makers. However, Diplo cut his teeth as a performer in the underground clubs of Philly under the moniker Hooked on Hollertroniks in the early 2000s, drawing the likes of Bun B and M.I.A. out to see the growing legend for themselves. He would go on to collaborate with the latter on a number of mix tapes, starting with 2004's "Piracy Funds Terrorism Vol. 1" and three full-length LPs. Their song "Paper Planes" (which further enlisted the help of Switch) nabbed a Grammy nomination and reached #4 on Billboard’s US Hot 100. He translated his success further to the mainstream in 2011 when he worked with Beyonce on songs "Run the World (Girls)" and "End of Time" for her fourth studio album "4," and produced singles for Usher and Marina and the Diamonds in 2012.
October 2013 saw the release of “Elastic Heart,” a song Diplo produced for former Zero 7 singer Sia as part of the "Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack." The track also features "The Weeknd."
Whether he’s performing solo at a private party or with Major Lazer in front of a towering array of LED displays, Diplo's genre-bursting cocktail of dub, dancehall, crunk, acid house, baile funk, Afro, and any other street beat he can get his hands on is just the ticket for party-goers around the world ready to wave anything that glows in the dark.
I bought tickets for my boyfriend as a birthday gift because diplo is his favorite , I listen to more r&b and hip hop so I like Sage the Gemini , but surprisingly I had soooo much fun as well . diplo put on a great show ! and my boyfriend and his bestfriend disappeared into the crowd to get closer to the stage and had so much fun they looked like two little kids on a playground . lol very nice job to diplo and Sage !
I almost gave this event a 3 but diplo killed it. I took off a star because it was only from 8-1030. That's shorter than a highschool dance. Lol if I would have known that I would have gone to EBH. Everyone was pretty upset It was out in Stockton and only lasted like 2 and a half hours
The music was clear! The artists were energetic. Overall was an amazing show. The best vibes were flowing in that arena:) I will definitely go again I want to be back already
IT WAS CRACKIN TURN DOWN FOR WHAT I HAD AN AWESOME TIME THANK U DIPLOAND SAGE
This concert was exactly what I was hoping for. Just awesome beats, awesome energy, and I left wishing it wasn't over yet. I was only dissapointed that he played Revolution for only 15 seconds. I was like "that's it?!" WTH.... but I loved the fact that he came to Stockton (of all places!). The Arena was the perfect place to have it. And I liked Sage The Gemini, good opening for Diplo. PLEASE COME BACK SOON!!!!
Sage the Gemini was great & got the crowd super pumped, he really interacted with the crowd & I loved that! Then Diplo came on & obviously we all went wild! He put on an AMAZING show, this was my second time seeing him & it was better the second time. Honestly a 5 star show, the two hour drive was definitely worth it!! My only complaint was that the first DJ was pretty lame & it ended way too early, other than that it was great.
NOT WORTH THE MONEY. ENDED TOO EARLY. Way way way too early...
Diplo is the greatest DJ in the world. He fueled the best party I've ever been to. Greatest night of my life.
The club was packed to capacity, 1700 people, sweat everywhere, the dj that opened for diplo sounded like he had no idea what he was doing, diplo was on for an hour-perfect as always.
Best night of my life!! Sound garden hall is a great venue. First time there but after that night I went home and booked my next concert there. But diplo live is a must attend event. He better be back in Philly soon so I can express myself
Non stop energy mixed with heavy beats, it was a total blast. The crowd was out of control, and at the end diplo tried to bring up a few girls, and around twenty ended up storming the stage, booty dancing and grinding on everything around them, ending with diplo saying "Philadelphia has the craziest girls in any city I've ever been to." Overall, a banger of a show and a crazy night!
diplo killed it soundgarden has a great sound system but the polls are annoying. kids are ridiculous at 18 under shows philly seems to be in the scene more then the music. sure its cool to hulu hoop and have finger light shows but save it for festival time. saw to much people standing around and not going crazy. energy was weak. i wanna see people raging, trading kandis, and having a blast.
Absolutely incredible night. One of those shows that you never want to end. Diplo's set was fantastic. Wish he had played longer, but I guess I can't complain when he's hitting 4 cities in one night and there is a line up of a bunch of other great DJ's to follow him. Wish I could do it all over again!
he absolutely killed it, great performance overall.
Diplo never disappoints. Even when performing four shows in 24 hours, he managed to bring the energy and create the BEST vibe in Philly.
Good line up of guests. Crowd was ok but security was weak. Undecided about going again next year but I would recommend it if you've never been.
There were so many people at this event and I could imagine it getting crazy if it hadn't been so well organized. DJ Jazzy Jeff's MC was freaking awesome and even had time to stop a fight that was brewing in the front row. Lots of sweat, dancing and good, good jams! Totally worth the money.
i went for J. Rocc and he was amazing as usual. Jazzy Jeff killed it too. i can honestly say i just loved everything they played. my only negative comment would be that it got too crowded.
The show was FANTASTIC! I danced so hard my toes are numb from the heels! I only have two bad things to say, is it was EXTREMELY hot in the club (like pass out hot) and the ladies bathroom stalls, com'on girls don't we know how to act! But the staff at the club were nice and the bartenders were on point! Thanks Philly for a great time once again...
Diplo - excellent set. Jazzy Jeff and J Rocc - excellent set. Anybody understand why I say "set"? If you were there and at least half sober, it would have been obvious that Jazzy Jeff and our man J Rocc didn't touch base on their set lists. J Rocc lit it up with some amazing 90s style hip hop jams, and Jazzy Jeff went on to play many of the same tracks. Yes, the same tracks. Come on. I feel like I deserve a 33% refund.
