As summer slowly draws to close, so do the days until New York’s premier festival Electric Zoo. This tagging their festival with the word “Transformed” we can expect the Electric Zoo team and new partners ID&T to take this years installment to a whole new level. This year’s lineup is absolutely superb, offering acts that span all over the electronic music spectrum. You can get down with the underground at the Awakenings and Sunday School Groove tents, get your grime on in the Hilltop Arena or catch electronic dance music’s most popular acts at the Main Stage.

I’m sure many of you have looked at the lineup and have already begun to mentally make a schedule with all your favorite acts. But many veteran festival-goers will agree when we say, one of the best parts of a festival is discovering a new acts. If you always stick with your go-to artists you will never broaden your musical horizon and see what other amazing music is out there.

So with that being said, here is a list of 7 acts you may want to consider adding to your personal schedule.
