Shawn Wasabi’s Colorful Visuals

From Super Mario challenges to Animal Crossing scenes bursting on the screen behind him, the 27-year-old’s set feels like living in a real-life video game, all while enjoying some really awesome, unique music.

Kyle Crowd Surfing (Literally)
During his jam-packed set, in which he performed some of his top hits like “Playinwitme” and “iSpy,” Kyle took crowd surfing to the next level when he jumped on an actual surfboard in the crowd as fans carried him across the audience.
SEVENTEEN Takes On the “Bloody Mary” Challenge
Before stepping onstage, SEVENTEEN’s Joshua, Mingyu and Dino chatted with Billboard‘s Tetris Kelly before flawlessly executing the dance challenge inspired by Netflix’s Wednesday, nailing the viral choreography to the tune of Lady Gaga‘s “Bloody Mary.” The clip even got reposted by Emma Myers, who plays Enid in the series.
India Shawn’s Vocals
One thing about the Free Nationals, is that they are masters of their craft. They certainly didn’t need any guests to make their set great, but adding India Shawn amplified the performance thanks to her effortlessly smooth vocal ability and charming stage presence. She even stepped in for Anderson .Paak
SEVENTEEN’s Entire Set
All thirteen members of SEVENTEEN took the stage too the sound of cheers from Carat, who had been waiting at the LA3C stage since doors opened to see their favorite guys — and they didn’t disappoint. From precisely synchronized dances and bursting onstage pyrotechnics to harmonized vocals and sleek outfits, the K-pop group kept the energy high with hits like “HOT,” “Left & Right” and “Aju Nice,” which they repeated six times due to audience demand.
Snoop Dogg’s “The Next Episode” Performance
While Snoop performed a slew of hits during his set, including “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “All I Do Is Win,” “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang,” and “I Wanna Love You,” there’s nothing quite like hearing the King of LA perform his ultimate Dr. Dre collab, “The Next Episode,” at a Los Angeles festival celebrating everything abou the City of Angels.
Lil Baby’s Headlining Set
While Lil Baby stepped in for Megan Thee Stallion as the LA3C day one headliner, the rapper still brought the heat. The star pulled out all his top tracks, keeping the crowd just as pumped as he was with songs like “Drip Too Hard” and “Freestyle.”

“Look for yourself in the Primavera Sound 2023 line-up… and find yourself,” organizers said in a statement in describing the mirror-image lineups. “Because we assure you that you are there. After twenty editions, the festival is the mirror in which the community that will come from near and far to Barcelona and for the first time to Madrid next June looks at itself and recognizes itself, but after everything it has experienced, this reflection goes in two directions, marking the richest musical itinerary we can think of: Primavera Sound also looks for and finds itself in its own audience.”
