1. Olivia Rodrigo

Since bursting onto the scene with her record-breaking debut album SOUR and its follow-up GUTS, Olivia Rodrigo has proven to be one of pop’s most compelling new voices. Her heartfelt lyricism, powerhouse vocals, and raw emotional delivery have made her a generational talent. Expect an electrifying set featuring hits like “good 4 u,” “vampire,” and “drivers license,” alongside deeper cuts that showcase her rock-infused edge and songwriting prowess.

2. BALTHVS

One of the most exciting rising bands on the psychedelic scene, BALTHVS brings a fresh take on psychedelic funk with influences from cumbia, surf rock, and global sounds. The Bogotá-based trio—Balthazar Aguirre, Johanna Mercuriana, and Santiago Lizcano—has been making waves with their hypnotic grooves and immersive live performances. With their trippy, funk-driven soundscapes, BALTHVS is set to deliver a transportive experience that’s bound to be a festival highlight.

3. Tate McRae

A breakout star in the modern pop and dance world, Tate McRae has mastered the art of blending melancholic lyrics with infectious beats. From viral beginnings to mainstream domination with tracks like “you broke me first” and “greedy,” her evolution as an artist has been remarkable. Her high-energy stage presence and impressive dance skills make her one of the must-see acts at this year’s festival.

4. Parcels

For those craving sophisticated grooves and danceable indie vibes, Parcels is the perfect festival pick.
