Melanie Martinez
Melanie was a contestant on the third season of "The Voice." Her debut alternative pop album "Cry Baby" was highly anticipated and received great reviews. Her songs are extremely catchy but have darker, more serious meanings behind the pop sound. Check out her song "Dollhouse" about the illusion of perfection.
The Last Shadow Puppets

Danny Brown
This rapper was recently described by MTV as "one of rap's most unique figures in recent history." He's known for his wild hair, wild outfits, wild dance moves, and wild lyrics. His animated spirit is sure to transfer to his stage presence and be an exhilarating performance. Check out his "Look at me now" anthem "Grown Up."
The 1975
The 1975 have fully embraced the dark side of pure pop. They've been reviewed as the "X-rated cousin of Taylor Swift's '1989.'" They have a fun '80s vibe that's slick and romantic and sure to make you want to jump around and dance at Lolla. Check out the clever, dark humor in their song "UGH!"
Bas
Buddies with fellow rappers J. Cole, Cozz, and Omen, Bas has started to gain more recognition for his passionate lyrics on drug abuse, death, and racial issues in America. His reflective style and deep raps are bound to relate and connect with his audience. Check out his hit with J. Cole, "Night Job."
