Welcome to Spring Awakening, Jack U – The long awaited secret headliner has finally been announced for #SAMF2015. This mad-scientist combination of Diplo and Skrillex, is set to headline the Saturday night fight at Soldier Field.
Diplo and Skrillex are no strangers to Spring Awakening. Skrillex had attended the first ever Spring Awakening back in 2012, and Diplo had an explosive set on the second stage last year in 2014 (Relive the set here.)
Looking back, the evidence was there for Jack U to be the guest of honor. Diplo was already locked in place to headline, and the next step was to turn the stage to eleven. Keeping in mind that Diplo performed last year, I had just assumed this was a rightful promotion to the bigger and better main stage. He had one of the strongest sets of the entire festival in the previous year, so this would have been well-deserved. However, those more observant than I could have made the prediction that his upgraded presence was a set up to be something even better.
Still need one more reason to see Jack U? Spring Awakening 2015 marks the very first time the Jack U duo will be on stage in any Midwest performance. If you’re in the area, and Diplo/Skrillex are on your EDM most-wanted list, there’s no better place to be this summer than Spring Awakening.
Spring Awakening will be returning to Soldier Field in Chicago Il, June 12th-14th.
