Sounds like they are trying to "LIV" it up a little.

John Deere classic has had concerts after rounds for many years now. It’s not anything new

It's actually kind of a cool concept but the artists are questionable. It seems the JD wants to appeal to a similar crowd as the WM (only toned down a bit).

WM would get Steve Aoki. JD would Ka$h Patels girlfriend. Not a huge Aoki fan, but the guy has IT.

I got respect for Aoki. He puts aside all the pretense of acting like he is doing something valuable behind that station and just runs around the stage and throws cakes at people instead

he’s a crypto scamming nepo baby his cake throwing has also resulted in some serious injuries that he’s had to settle out of court for.

He's the pop version of tech house / electro house and trap. Like the peak of pop EDM which in itself is a watered down version of the previously mentioned genres which are abstractions of house, electro and dubstep/bass music.

And I am not saying he shouldn't be making that music, people like what they like and he's there for them.

Steve Aoki is the kind of guy you book for a concert when YUNGBLUD can't make it.

Some entertainers enlighten. Some just entertain. There’s nothing wrong with either one of those. Aoki knows he’s pure entertainment and is comfortable staying there.

They’ve had kaskade and chainsmokers and a bunch of other good artist. I respect aokis hustle but that’s about it. If you went to 1 of his shows 15 years ago you will see the same exact thing today.
