The Waikiki Beach stage rested inside one of the world’s largest wave pools, and featured artists R3hab, Adventure Club, Crizzly, Seven Lions, Burns, DJ Soloman, Moxxy, Will Power and Sound Wave opening DJ contest winner, De-Noize.
The night closed out with headliner, quadruple-platinum selling progressive house DJ and producer, Calvin Harris playing a mashup of, “You Used to Hold Me” and “Quasar” on the Waikiki Beach stage to thousands of fans.
