Greatest Festival Moments in Rock and Roll History: Lollapalooza 2011

Festival Moment

Deadmau5 at Lollapalooza, 2011

Canadian DJ Deadmau5 transformed Lollapalooza 2011 into the dance party of the summer. Using the power of music to forge a bond between the DJ and every audience member, and between the audience and the environment, Deadmau5 seemingly harnessed a powerful rainstorm as backdrop to his aural experiments. One reviewer described watching the audience bob in time to the music during Deadmau5’s set as “watching the world’s finest puppeteer at work."
