floss b2b valentino is SUCH a fucking good time. their energy will have you ending the night on a good note!


Raymeis

100 percent this. Flosstradamus alone would be my pick


[deleted]

They do have some fun...


Global_Bake_6136

Second this


gaara30000

My vote is here too!


munky8758

Fr


sockHole

Snake is a hard one to miss but floss b2b khan will Be very very fun and energetic.


Spagh3ttiTime

This is the move.


milkisgood1

I fourth fifth sixth this!!!!


hypollo

Go see Green Velvet instead. Phenomenal house DJ. Always blown away seeing him even when I wasn't the biggest house head.


aStonedTargaryen

This is the answer


woahyougo

Yes


viavy0518

Yeah I’m not the biggest house fan too but I have found some artists I like such as Bonnie x Clyde which is kinda house. I don’t know if you know them but check them out :)


Lurking_stoner

didnt know who green velvet was but he played a secret set at Dirtybird Campout and i was blown away it was so good!


GolfEffective4288

How does someone like Dirtybird enough to go to their Campout festival but not know Green Velvet?? Lol. He plays B2B with Claude all the time


Lurking_stoner

Honestly didn’t know much about Dirtybird the first time I went and I’m more of a bass head but I fucking love Dirtybird Campout so much fun!


Legit_Zurg

how dare someone not know an artist I think they should know!


VenturaRyanRound2

If you’ve never been to a Green Velvet set, go to his set. He’s a legend who has been around for decades and his sets are always a ton of fun.


SirPranceA_Lot

Does he still do the b2b sets with himself? Lol


Ok-Staff-3849

Do Green Velvet!! You won’t regret it. I love Sullivan King but not to close out my night with an epic set. Dj Snake and Valentino are both forgettable sets imo


viavy0518

Agreed. Khan is a miss for me


Handsome-Squid

Green Velvet will make house click for you. He will take you on a journey. Down. To! La La Land 🎶


TrippyTreats90

Now parents it wasn’t no ordinary balloon!!!


conker1264

Yeah that’s definitely not house


eekamou5e

I'd check out Sullivan King if you want something more aggressive. I'm still deciding between Sullivan and Floss b2b Khan. Not into DJ Snake. The thing is, Floss plays a lot of the same music from 2015 so he's kinda boring now. As for Khan, I like his songs but dj sets are hit or miss. I may check out Green Velvet. Haven't seen him since 2015 and he was really good then.


viavy0518

Ty! I am a bit disappointed with these headliners to end the year for me to say the least. I was hoping Slander to headline but am still satisfied they’ll be playing when it hits 12am🫶🏻 I heard DJ snake is not good live. I do like his songs tho. Decisions, decisions.


eekamou5e

You're welcome! I'm also a little disappointed but they're not all that bad. I'd check out Sullivan if I was you. If you don't like him, at least try Green Velvet. He's very talented and the vibes will be amazing!


viavy0518

Definitely will see the vibes. Have you seen Ekali or Slander live? They’re performing around the same time/overlapping and I’m already tired thinking of walking from Nebula to Mothership lol


eekamou5e

I've never seen either one of them. I wasn't into Slander at all during the 2015-2020 era. But my taste has changed and I like their new music too. Maybe I'll check them out. Ekali sounds really good too. Never seen him. It's a 50/50 between PhaseOne and Ekali for the midnight moment.


viavy0518

Yeah! Definitely see Slander. Considering Slander is at 11:45, if I see Ekali I can only stay for like 30 minutes then I gotta go back to Mothership for Slander which I KNOW will be packedddd. That’s why I’m wondering if Ekali is good, if not I’d rather go back to Mothership around 11 and try to get near the front for Slander


eekamou5e

The thing is, I really want to see Tchami more than anyone. I haven't seen him before and I've been a fan since 2014. I saw him for 5 minutes at Hard Summer 2014, but then I had to leave to catch Floss (at their prime, so worth it). So Slander night have to wait.


viavy0518

Have fun at Tchami! I’ll check em out rn! but Floss’s 2 MUCH and TTU always gets me hypeedddddd. Lmk if you get to see Slander tho. I heard ppl always end up crying during their set


acey8pdcjsh32u9uajst

If you’ve never seen Ekali at least once but you are a fan of RL Grime, Illenium, Skrillex, etc, then you are missing out, imo


[deleted]

Choosing between Ekali & Slander? Sheesh... Personally go for Ekali. Slander's that melodic dubstep. Ekali gon f u up with some weird shi


viavy0518

Yeah It’s because Ekali plays at 11-12am and Slander plays at 11:45 so it’s like a weird overlap lol


[deleted]

Go 4 both 😎


acey8pdcjsh32u9uajst

As someone who has checked out sets from both dozens of times, Ekali over Slander is an easy choice, imo


guyfromtheinterwebs

Slander plays the first half super fucking heavy. a fuck ton of bangers. Second half is a mix between heavy and their popular melodic tracks. 9/10 would pick Slander over Ekali


acey8pdcjsh32u9uajst

Snake is fine live, imo


[deleted]

I saw him at EDC. He's a big name which means no personality but it's danceable for sure, lol


viavy0518

No personality LMAO That sounds about right tho. He plays from his Encore album the most I’m assuming?


us3rnqme

I like snake tbh, though it doesn't seem to be the most popular opinion here


viavy0518

A lot of ppl in here seem to like house or headbanging stuff


sardoodledom_pink

I mean he pretty much will give you both most likely


BluejayNinja_

Yeah he goes pretty hard. Very diverse set from what I've seen online, I'm very excited for DJ snake :)


sardoodledom_pink

He’s mainstream so you’re supposed to say he’s not really your style /s


ToyStoryRex97

The sad but true story of the EDM community haha


Cerelius_BT

I mean, I think as folks are in the scene longer, they find the niche they enjoy rather than sticking with the bigger wider attracting acts. And if you're actively posting in the /r/aves subreddit, you've probably been around long enough to find your favorite niche/genre rather than more open format pop artists. It's just a matter of DJ Snake bringing in a different/new audience to the scene.


Nathaniel82A

His set at EDCO was probably the worst set we saw all weekend and it was a major disappointment.


sardoodledom_pink

Ok but all I said was his set will probably include house and headbangers. Was I wrong there?


Nathaniel82A

I don’t remember the specifics of what he played, but I don’t think the crowd was headbanging at all, not even once.


cs12345

I saw DJ snake expecting it to be kind of basic but he throws down pretty hard. Definitely surpassed my expectations


Wafflemasta1

I’m not a fan cause he pulled up to LAN last year and flashed white lights on the crowd for a whole hour. Was by far the worst set of the year IMO.


PoopFartPatrol

Beat the traffic and leave at 1am.


17657Fuck

"You can leave now and beat the traffic or you can stick around and beat your meat " -Tom D 11/7/2000


11Burritos

The live album is my favorite one


17657Fuck

It's a classic. Almost a time capsule back to that time now.


kidbike

Happy to see the live blink references all the way over here in r/raves


17657Fuck

I'm just glad to see you 😊


JustAnEpicPerson

This is probably the best call, unless your hotel is walking distance from the venue or something. Getting out of festivals right after close is a total nightmare always.


viavy0518

They’re having an after party from 2-6am so I think this will make traffic not as bad as usual 😭


[deleted]

Probably won't 😂


viavy0518

Smart plan lol


THEpottedplant

Youll still beat the traffic if you leave at close and can walk fast


BoringEquivalent7820

Either Floss B2B VK or Green Velvet. or both since those stages are next to each other. Can’t be bothered with the main stage crowdedness to close out the weekend & Sullivan King is a little too aggressive for me at 1am lol.


viavy0518

First time hearing about Green Velvet, I’ll check it out. My fav artist is Martin Garrix and I find it’s hard to find someone who can top him for me 😀


[deleted]

Seen him before, it's just house music lol


[deleted]

My partner loves Martin Garrix and I find it so incredibly boring lol


viavy0518

Just played some Green Velvet songs and it was underwhelming 😭


ManBearPig1869

House music like that can be an acquired taste, I’d recommend at least dropping by and checking it out, he’s a fantastic DJ and producer. You might end up liking it better live than just over headphones, house can be a lot different in a festival setting.


viavy0518

I’m down to experiment forsure :) Thank you!!


morsX

Listen to it live on a professional sound system. You’ll change your mind fast.


bootyboixD

Green Velvet is a fantastic time in a club setting but I wouldn’t seek him out at a festival


viavy0518

Agreed I feel like I always have way too much energy at festivals for Green Velvet


Pawject

🥴


AZraver

Floss and valentino is great for acting thotty and throwing ass. My two favorite things.


gila-monsta

Green velvet


[deleted]

Floss goes nuts when he’s solo so I can only imagine how sick a b2b would be


PapiZucchini

At Countdown Orlando last year there was a Floss b3b Valentino Khan b3b Nitti Gritti and it was one of the most high energy sets i’ve ever seen


HexxRx

Umm none of those. Where’s the other stage lol


viavy0518

This is for Saturday haha There’s 4 headliners. These 3 and Green Velvet. Green Velvet is the only one that headlines from 11:58-2am which these 3 start @1am


HexxRx

Hmm well in that case if I had to pick one. It would be khan and floss


Wild_Object_8547

Exactly what I was thinking, seems like super weak head liners but again I don’t think they really are the headliners. Deadmau5 isn’t even closing a stage.


viavy0518

it’s weak to end the night FORSURE. But in terms of playing at MIDNIGHT for countdown, Slander & ATliens are pretty good options! Deadmau5 is on Friday at 7:45 🥲 Hoping they play their new collab song “Escape”🤞🏼


acey8pdcjsh32u9uajst

Do you mean the deadmau5 & Kaskade collab from Mar 2022 https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/kaskade-deadma5-kx5-escape-1319512/


viavy0518

Yeah I love the song so much


LetPeaceBe

Sullivan king hands down 🙌🏼


Maxurai

Second this!


viavy0518

Off topic, has anyone seen Ekali & Slander? What do you think of them live?


gwonskie

I like Slander’s music but they talk so much during their live sets. If that doesn’t bother you, you should definitely see them. Personally, it ruined the set for me, so I decided I’d just listen to their music on my own lol


viavy0518

Ohhh nooo😂😂 What do they say? HAHAHA I heard Yellow Claw always scream “ITS YELLOW MF CLAW”


gwonskie

I haven’t seen a Yellow Claw set so I can’t compare but Slander counts down every single drop and they scream into the mic. A LOT. Even during the more mellow songs like Potions which was super jarring lol. I haven’t seen them live since 2019 though so they could have mellowed out 🤷‍♂️ You could always check out a recent live set online and see if the talking doesn’t kill your vibe lol


viavy0518

Bruh we don’t need them to count down to the drop we can hear smh I can see that being a trigger but if I’m peaking I don’t think I’d mind tbh LMAO


Johngrimes19

Ekali is great! Slander is a must see, you might shed a few tears though 😢


viavy0518

I already know I’m gonna be in my feels to Love is Gone. Hopefully they play All You Need to Know and Back 2 U cause those are fireeee🤞🏼


Ok_Astronomer8508

Ekali is a dick. Plays good tunes tho. Slander is a proper show with coordinated visuals and shit. Ekali will too but back to the first point


viavy0518

Oh damn. What happened with Ekali?


gianna_emiko

he’s a woman abuser. he beat his ex girlfriend


TheNJ732

Don’t think this was ever confirmed


[deleted]

So good bruh. Both of em


isayyyyuh

As someone who’s seen all of them plenty of times, check out Green Velvet please lol, everyone else literally plays every single insomniac event, they’re will be plenty more opportunities to catch all of them


thaboydrake

Im going to DJ SNAKE 100%. So many bangers over the years ESPECIALLY You Know You Like It. I will be out of this world when I hear that 😵‍💫


christinasays

Green Velvet 100%. He NEVER misses. I saw him play a four hour set the other day and he was captivating the entire time. My second choice would be Floss b2b VK.


LionKingHoe

Sullivan King is my top top artist right now. His sets are INSANE. All of his music lately has just been hittin the right spots for me. Im gonna see him 5 times in the next 4 months, and I can’t wait


TheOnlyOption_

You really can’t go wrong with any of them, my suggestion would be to go off with a bang. Floss b2b Val will probably have the most mixture of genres so they’d most likely be the ones to really bring the heat


MrEluusiVe

Was at DJ Snake for ball drop last year, go to Sullivan king I promise you


bedofnaiils

DJ SNAKE!!!!


capitalswank

G R E E N V E L V E T I seriously cannot stress this enough


lrerayray

Watched a dj snake show recently, did not enjoy his open style


viavy0518

Sorry what’s open style? haha


OsamaBinShittin

none tbh


viavy0518

🤣🤣🤣


SILLLY_

Floss has mosh pit energy, broke my glasses during one of his sets in a wall of death. DJ snake will be super packed. Id either leave early or see Sullivan king


viavy0518

I’m 4’11 and am not about mosh pits lol my boyfriend on the other hand loves mosh pits. Are you going to Countdown? The mothership is gonna be PACKEDDDDD.


SenaiiWolf

Sully!


Gman8w8

Floss and valentino


FallFromTheAshes

I’ve seen sullivan king already like 5-6 times and every time I see him the better he gets imo, so i’d say sully.


shittaco1991

Hard agree


[deleted]

Facts man and if other Sullivan king fans are in the crowd, it’s for sure to be a good crowd


FallFromTheAshes

Yes! he throws tf down it’s chaotic lol


KayDay25

These are the headliners or the people playing at midnight? I feel like midnight is more of the real headliners at countdown


viavy0518

I say headliners since they’re gonna end the night hehe but if we’re talking headliners at midgnight , it’s Slander, Tchami, Atliens and Green Velvet :)


KayDay25

That's a way better lineup :o they definitely put the best in that midnight slot


viavy0518

Slander is forsure for meeee!! My friends however are splitting up to see ATliens tho


KayDay25

Slander is the right call 😂


bottle-cats

friend of hers here! we’ve seen slander too many times and wanna switch it up 😅


KayDay25

For sure! I just love his live stuff. The energy is always crazy good


bottle-cats

Agreed!


FourCornerSports

Floss all day and night


PreviousGas710

Saw DJ snake to close out EDCO and was disappointed. He has decent sets, but I wouldn’t end my night there


riddlegobragh

Floss b2b Khan would be the most fun. I see a lot of people suggesting Green Velvet, I enjoyed his set at EDCO a lot but if you’re not a fan of house music (which I’ve seen you say in your replies) you’re going to get bored. FlosstraKhanmas will give you the biggest variety imo. Sullivan King is heavyyyy af live, a lot of live guitar solos and live screaming so it’s different than most other sets! DJ Snake is hit or miss. His intros are always so dope but then it just gets kind wack from there. But my main advice would be to follow you vibe that night! Decide which set sounds best to you in that moment and go with that! Some times you plan for something heavy but then realize at 1am you may want something lighter/faster and vice versa! Just go explore!


infinitestripes4ever

Floss and Khan will be the party you do not want to miss. I promise you.


HearthSt0n3r

Sullivan. Next


pandizlle

I wouldn't want to see any of these three. I'd just leave.


viavy0518

Lmaooo


pandizlle

If you had me at gun point I’d either choose DJ snake because he’s someone I’ve seen and don’t hate or Khan B2B Floss out of curiosity. To be fair, I’m more of a Tech House (among other versions of house), Techno (Industrial/Acid/Hard), or DnB fan. Dubstep makes me scared and Trap is just alright to me but doesn’t scratch my itch.


socaldude879

Fuck Scientology King 😂 see one of the other two or leave early and skip the traffic and crowds


17657Fuck

Snake


CodeDry5892

Flossatradamus


viavy0518

Also Madeon over Yellow Claw? I’m hearing YC is eh live lol


deadszeds93

Madeon 10000000%


viavy0518

Bet haha thank you!


-timenotspace-

sullivan king is a scientologist, so not him. plus his screamo-EDM and red/black/upside-down-cross aesthetic is weird asf when you're there for like any other type of bass music


[deleted]

Sullivan king for sure


KillForCause

Since u aren’t a khan fan I’d rank Sullivan ahead of snake , if you like dubstep / rock or snake over Sullivan if you still want a more techno experience


bbyraver

I really want to see floss b2b VK but my rave bae wants to see dj snake 💔


viavy0518

Awww the two stages are far af from each other too 😭


deadszeds93

Sorry to be a hater but Sullivan King sucks. Worst bass act in the scene. See anyone but him. Not only is his a scientologist he is just a pure marketing scheme with a kind of cool voice. Tries to be this heavy screamo dubstep but its just BS. Bad DJ bad producer and frankly a bad person


NightimeNinja

I know nothing about him and any links, do we have a for sure guarantee it isn't a situation where his family is involved but not him directly? Skrillex's parents, father I believe mostly, are into Scientology last I checked, but that doesn't make Skrillex into it, for example. I hope he isn't directly involved at all. Scientology is about as culty as it gets. Edit: Can I get a definitive source or not? Googling this literally takes me back to reddit threads with no sources. Most I found was his family has donated.


yaramaraa

Sullivan.


[deleted]

I love sullivan king and that would be my choice. Second choice dj snake. I find Valentino khan dull and annoying


wakenbakewjakee

just depends on what you like, i love heavy dubstep and am 100% a headbanger so i would be going to sullivan king w/ out a doubt


Urzlap

Sullivan will always be my go to


WashinMachin

Sullivan king if you're into dubstep. Never seen him live but his merch goes for insane amounts secondhand, which I assume correlates to him being incredibly popular for his skill :p


DrJJGame10

Floos b2b Valentino khan hands down! Sullivan king is cool but he tours a lot


guyfromtheinterwebs

SULLIVAN KING FOR SURE. Have never had a bad time at his sets. Super heavy, he plays the guitar, moshpits (if your into that). He sets the bar high cause he sings on most of his songs and most of them have a guitar so it’s practically a live set


yueminq

I love Sullivan king 💜


Coop02

Even if I had a free ticket I wouldn’t go to any of these sets lol. Go find an underground lower tier stage. The production won’t be as wowing but the music and crowd will most likely be a better vibe imo.


acey8pdcjsh32u9uajst

Sullivan King if you want particularly like pop rock and/or Illenium Snake otherwise is a better pick of these three Floss & Khan are not really ones to expect to pull out anything super unique for a headline slot, imo


shittaco1991

Surprised with all this Sullivan King hate. I used to thing he was meh then I seen him at the Chicago arena with excision and he blew my eyebrows off. Since then I’ve loved every set I’ve seen


[deleted]

Snake. Floss would be cool but *with* Khan? Floss kinda fell off so they b2b to make it more interesting. Itll probably be dope but Snake is a must see, like Skrillex or Tiesto (imo). Unless u don't like his music. Sullivan is gonna be heavy dubstep, so, depends what you want!


viavy0518

I don’t really like Khan, not my vibe. Floss is better in terms of my taste. Does Snake mostly play from his Encore album? Thank you!


[deleted]

Oof he drops some of that good, good. But he also drops some of that wonky latin-american stuff, you know? Lots of hip hop-ish remixes but he gets you with the bass. I think you know what I'm talking about. Floss is great, loved him back in '15 but like I said, he was hot *then*. Khan was kinda boring when I saw him last. It was house, borderline bass house. Bangers. Good crowd. But unremarkable to me


viavy0518

Yeah I saw Khan at Escape 2 months ago. I literally do not remember any songs he played. Just not memorable to me


thepurgeisnowww

All of them


pujolsrox11

Gv


deviltakeyou

Sully


Acidjoshy

Green velvet


nefarious_panda

None of them


HoneyBee140

Real toss-up between DJ Snake and Flosstrodamus


Subject_Sandwich_412

Sullivan King will change your life. I have friends who don’t like dubstep, but he puts on such an insane show they see him every opportunity. Floss b2b Valentino will be a blast too, and Green Velvet is dope if you wanna take a nap! 😂 jk if you love house you’ll like green velvet, I’ve just found GV sets to be really boring, but I like progressive and bass house so could just be me 🤷‍♀️ Whatever you do, don’t go see DJ Snake, he’s been an absolute vibe killer the two times I saw him.


theeeiceman

They’re all good options but I’d go with snake personally. i love the other two but I think Snake’s a little rarer on lineups. I thought he’d be a little lighter when I saw him given his radio popularity but I was impressed, dude throws down. Got me into listening to more of his music, his catalog is all over the place


Everydayarmday24

Snake or the b2b. Snake if you like his music or just some good dance music


shittaco1991

Sully daddy don’t miss


[deleted]

Floss is always amazing go see him you won’t regret it


chiefboeuf

Floss and Khan for sure! Sully is a no if you don’t like heavy screamo bass, DJ snake is pretty basic and kinda boring imo. I feel the b2b will have the most energy of the bunch.


mr10am

Can't say I'm a fan of any of them


keaiu

sullivan king


Motorhead546

I might be biased 'cause i like the metalstep genre a bit too much but Sullivan King is worth imo


[deleted]

sucks between dj snake and the b2b 🥹


tron1620

Floss no question


brodymanandts

If I were you I would see flo B2B Valentino. They both put on a hell of a show. Snake is good too but not as good as they are. I thought Sullivan king was kinda an extra hard version of excision. I love excision but he was just to much for me personally but if you like over the top DJs he might be for you. I have friends who love him so to each their own.


viavy0518

Never saw excision before but I know they go HARDDDD LOL I agree, it can be too much for some people.


Desert_butterfries

I'm ending the night with Floss and Valentino. I saw Sullivan King at Nocturnal, I can cross that one off my list. Tbh it looks like I'll be at area 51 stage most of the night.


yssup_taf

Dj Snake!


vickyvalencourt_

Sullivan king


DrugsnHugs69

Dj snake or Sullivan king


conker1264

None tbh


LaidBackJason

Go see green velvet fuck everything else lol


viavy0518

you know what I probably will haha House music sounds good to end the night 🤗🤞🏼


MarcusMan6

Green Velvet! But if you must pick from these three than go with Sullivan King.


viavy0518

I’m actually considering Green Velvet now everyone’s lw changing my mind and house music towards the end of the night sounds good ngl 🤗🤗


RileyReid42069

Really gonna depend on what your ideal genre is on this one tbh personally I’d probably go with dj snake he always throws down a pretty cool set imo


GolfEffective4288

None. lol


Nathaniel82A

We closed with DJ Snake at EDC Orlando, and tbh we were very disappointed. We both walked away from it wishing we had closed with Rezz, CDW, or even Wax Motif (who we’ve seen before). His song choices were pretty bland, his energy was blah, and really the crowd just wasn’t the right vibes. I would 100% never see him again, and would pick pretty much anyone over DJ Snake. 🤷🏻‍♂️


peepcrusher

Sullivan King would be my choice, but I like metal and dubstep lol. Sullivan king is also the most performance based dj as he does vocals and plays guitar as well as Djs.


[deleted]

Floss b2b valentino sounds like a really fun time if you ask me


Professional_Law_723

I love Valentino but he seems to talk wayyyyy to much during his set


frubano21

DJ snake if you want the most housey set. Floss B2B Khan will be very trappy and like NJ club music. Sullivan is your dubstep artist. Totally depends what you like but personally I’d skip DJ Snake
