Steve Aoki always delivers a theatrical EDM set with explosive visuals, and cake tossing. His sets are as sweet as Azucar “sugar” all because of the upbeat energy that comes with a side of cake. Who knows maybe the new dad will bring out a little guest helper to assist with the cake tossing.

• BUNT. — 6:45 PM — Mirage Stage (Beachday Everyday)

You’ll lose your mind and feel the energy from BUNT’s set that will feel like you’re being drawn into a party that only you and your friends are the main characters of. By the end of his set and when the tunes end you’ll have memories that stay forever.

• Black Tiger Sex Machine (BTSM) — 6:50 PM — Bell OASIS (Main Stage)
