L.A. music and event production maestros Do LaB have announced their 2016 musical lineup for the most exuberant stage at Coachella, the Big Fish stage – where strategically-placed misters and flower-adorned super soakers moisten a sweat-soaked crowd of dance-maniac revelers on the Polo Fields of the biggest Summer festival kickoff event on the West coast.
Each weekend of Coachella will boast a unique, eclectic lineup at the Do LaB Stage. Among the artists playing Weekend 1 are Foreign Family Collective’s Big Wild, Canadian indie-electro pop duo HUMANS, Washington DC-based downtempo beat-weaver Imagined Herbal Flows, godfather of experimental bass Paper Diamond, pioneer of the TWONK movement, LA-based Brillz, DJ Ghastly, Dena Amy, Stylust Beats, Wave Racer, Lee Foss, plus MartyParty and Ooah (The Glitch Mob) who reunite once again as PANTyRAiD.
Weekend 2 unlocks a kaleidoscope of beats as Do LaB matches the caliber of Weekend 1’s soundscape with an entirely new selection of artists. Berlin’s Sacha Robotti and Ardalan, Sam Gellaitry, Brisbane electronic duo Cut Snake, STWO, Autograf, Stanton Warriors, Candle Weather and Manila Killa Hotel Garuda, drum and bass fusion electronic musician and Do LaB festival staple Kraddy, Nico Luminous, and so much more is in store – plus surprise special guests for both weekends. 2015 brought surprise sets from Chet Faker and Bonobo, who united under Big Fish for an epic b2b set. See full lineups below for Weekends 1 & 2.
In 2015, Rolling Stone named Do LaB’s Big Fish stage as the “Best Dance Floor” at Coachella. Considering the plethora of ways to cool off, the wide variety of elevated platforms and surfaces to maniacally dance upon, creative lighting production, vividly colored awnings complete with aerial performers, and carefree vibes found within the Do LaB’s man-made oasis…it’s not hard to see why.
