9. Avicii premiered his new folk-house album. (Weekend 2)
![The "Levels" DJ and producer premiered his new album during his set, to mixed reviews and much confusion. While his set started out normal enough, he soon started bringing out guests Aloe Blacc, country singer-songwriter Mac Davis, members of Incubus, and a bluegrass band featuring a kazoo.
"[The new album is] going to be a lot of acoustic elements, but kind of twisted a little bit. It’s way more songs than I’ve done before and it’s everything from folk records to more soulful," Avicii told Rolling Stone.
Needless to say, many fans hadn't signed up Avicii's soulful turn.](https://img.youtube.com/vi/-pnoAyd8OYI/mqdefault.jpg)

The Dutch DJ and producer rocked the main stage during the first weekend's Saturday show, and premiered new songs from upcoming releases through his Revealed Recordings label.
7. Deadmau5 (Weekend 1)
The mau5 played the same set both weekends. But we're guessing festival-goers didn't care too much, and it was one of the more exciting sets he's done in recent years. If it ain't broke, don't fix it?

Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso opened and closed this year's festival, with their final performance bringing their time together as a group to a close. (At least, until the inevitable reunion tour.) It was emotional and joyous, with the group displaying a farewell message to the audience as the set came to an end: "You came. We raved. We love you."
