As A$AP neared an end, the crowd buzzed with discussion of where to head next and SBTRKT proved the overwhelming favorite. The duo of electro producers from London played without their masks, mixing and looping music on the spot, keeping the party alive. Bodies were moving without abandon as the beats and sounds forced the packed crowd into nonstop dancing. The one-two punch of A$AP-SBTRKT was only to be topped by the third charm: Snoop.

He made everyone wait an hour, but the crowd held strong, filling the entire main stage area. After endless debate throughout the day on whether he would perform as Snoop Dogg or Lion, everyone needed to see for themselves. And it was worth it. Snoop came out in stellar form, first performing all of his classics, then transforming into Snoop Lion for his most recent release. His finale was most memorable– the entire crowd of thousands singing the chorus to “Young, Wild and Free” in unison, creating an incredible sense of camaraderie that lasted the entire packed train ride home. On Saturday night, everyone caught the spirit.
