Snoop Lion
RECOMMENDED TRACK: 'No Guns Allowed'
To be honest I don't know who WOULDN'T want to see Snoop in his reincarnated form as Snoop Lion. I think his show will be totally amazing. I hope he plays some classics too. But whatever he does will be dope for sure.

Haim
RECOMMENDED TRACK: 'Falling'
I've been listening to their songs loads recently. They make me feel so happy. From their videos, I also think they are the best dancers everrrrr -- so I hope they put down their guitars and have a mini freestyle session just for me. Ha. No, but seriously, I love what they're doing. 'Falling' is my new jam!

Icona Pop
RECOMMENDED TRACK: 'I Love It'
We're playing a couple of shows together which will be cool because I haven't seen them in ages. I still haven't seen them perform "I Love It" yet, which I wrote -- so I'm freaking out cause I'm finally gonna get to see it! I know they'll smash it for sure! I've never seen anyone else sing a song I wrote before, so I think it's gonna be a weird but awesome experience.

Kendrick Lamar
RECOMMENDED TRACK: 'Poetic Justice' Feat. Drake
I've been listening to his album on repeat for the past week. I think I must have listened to it three times on repeat on the plane. I think it's brilliant, so I'd love to catch his show.

Baauer
RECOMMENDED TRACK: 'Dum Dum'
I don't care how old it is... I still wanna get my 'Harlem Shake' on!
