The fourth annual Imagine Music Festival will take place in Atlanta, Georgia this fall at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Featuring over six stages - each with a particular genre theme for fans - the 3-day aquatic-themed festival will take place in late September, and will feature art instillations and workshop, a variety of camping options, and the Imagine splash pool.

With headlining performances from big-name acts like Above and Beyond, deadmau5, Pretty Lights and Tiesto, Imagine was already boasting an impressive electronic-based lineup. If that wasn’t enough, the independently operated festival has just announced additional heavyweight artists that will be joining Imagine Festival this year:

Additional artists announced for Imagine Festival 2017:

  • Big Gigantic: one of the biggest names in the future funk genre, Big Gigantic’s live saxophone and drum performances mixed with electro-beats has earned them a crowd-favorite label.
  • STS9: Sound Tribe Sector 9 (STS9) have been bringing their breakbeat, psychedelic improv jams to festivals around the country for nearly 20 years. The Georgia natives will take the stage in their home turf at the Amazonia stage.
  • Claude VonStroke: The techno pioneer and owner of Dirtybird Records may have started his DJ personality as a joke, but his quick notoriety and production work with the likes of the Chemical Brothers and Disclosure have kept his name running around the circuit since 2005.
  • G Jones: Bass heads unite as one of the biggest underground bass names on the festival circuit joins fellow trap artists ill.gates, Minnesota and Esseks.
  • Illenium: The melodic electro producer is still fairly fresh to the festival game, but his future-bass jams and collabs with big names like Odesza, and Dawn Golden are starting to catch people’s ears.
  • NGHTMRE: The previously anonymous producer soon started getting noticed for his epic work with big names like Dillon Francis and Slander. His newest release with dubstep artist Ghastly previews what his set at Imagine might be like.

Other notable names added to the list include Hippie Sabotage, The Funk Hunters and other local talent. Check out the full lineup below:
