Speaking of which, the Avicii set was not broadcast at some points due to him not wanting parts of his new album leaked, which would get all his sheep angry. What got them angry most is when for FIFTEEN MINUTES, he brought in some people to play some live instruments with his tracks. Boo-fucking-hoo, his fans are butthurt over their idol "selling out" by experimenting.

Wow looks like I stirred up some controversy with my set friday night at UMF. Seeing alot of people who dont understand. My full set wasn't being streamed, only the last 40ish minutes with all new material from my album.

In a 75 minute set, I brought a 15 minute different breakdown with live musicians to a festival with nonstop dance music for 3 days straight 2 weeks in a row . I really wanted to switch things up and do something fun and different, as I always strive for, and this album is about experimentation and about showing the endless possibilities of house and electronic music. Its about how to incorporate acoustic instruments from different styles and influences you wouldnt expect and still stay true to your own sound and musicality which for me has always been about the melodies and positive energy. I will always produce music that I love and listen to. But my album is certainly not "country", and people have gotten hung up on an instrument we used for the live cover of a song. Every song on the album is a fusion with house and electronic music.

We wanted to make a statement, and theres really no better place to make one than UMF mainstage. People will soon see what it's all about.

My music is open to anyone who wants to listen to it and I will always stay true to my sound. Love you all who listen with open hearts and open minds. These past few months Ive been so lucky to have had the chance to work with so many talented artists and to bring them there when I launch the album was amazing and they all did an amazing job.

This was my first time performing with a band and I couldnt have asked for more a professional team, I really want to thank @MichaelEinziger and his fiancee, @vatoben and @JoseAPasillasII from Incubus, @Aloeblacc, legend @Mac Davis, @audramae and @dantyminskii for joining me on stage.

I'm not a big fan of his music but I support his argument since he didn't do anything wrong, and had he done this at a place like Mysteryland, there would be almost no bitching since more of the comments are from Europeans who're angry over America getting some decent events, and close-minded American twats who can't listen to something if it's not "cool." Go Avicii Don't follow the same steps as Guetta and Corsten

[Kickass]

Amazing festival.
But I kinda got tired of ceveral sets going like: build/drop ... build/drop

Best sets IMO: Fatboy Slim and Deadmau5

I find it more shocking to see Ferry Corsten, W&W or Tritonal playing house than Benny Benassi, who has always be Electro/House producer
