Death Cab for Cutie

KINGS OF LEON • 10:30 P.M.

Formed in Nashville in 1999, family-band Kings of Leon began with a sound not unlike a punk-rock Creedence Clearwater Revival. Now, the band has turned stadiumsized, with seven studio albums, 12 Grammy nominations, and four Grammy wins under their belt. Kings of Leon released their most recent album, WALLS, last fall.

BUD LIGHT STAGE LIL WYTE • 2:10 P.M.

This white rapper from Frayser has proven himself legit, working with Three 6 Mafia and others for over a decade and regularly showing in the U.S. rap charts. Known for his rapid-fire delivery, he’s staked out his own style both musically and pharmaceutically, creating a blend of medical cannabis.

547-7997

South African siblings by way of Arizona, this musical family treads the slightly rockier side of pop with four-to-the-floor stompers colored by synth and accordion textures. Produced and polished, they nevertheless bring some surprises to their compositions, with clever hooks, breakdowns, and singalong choruses.

GRIZ • 5:20 P.M.

Self-described future-funk DJ GRiZ (aka Grant Kwiecinski) crafts dramatic songs with sci-fi noises, late-night TV horn squeals, and R&B-inspired beats. A veteran of festivals such as Electric Forest and Lollapalooza, GRiZ has collaborated with incendiary guitarist Eric Krasno and livetronica legends Big Gigantic.

MUTEMATH • 7:00 P.M.

Not exactly a throwback, not exactly a “contemporary act,” New Orleans rockers Mutemath embrace the freedom of 1960s rock-and-roll without sacrificing modern relevancy. 2009’s Armistice was the band’s biggest hit on the charts, but 2015’s Vitals might be their most confident effort.

2 CHAINZ • 8:40 P.M.

Dirty South vet 2 Chainz has had an incredibly long and diverse hip-hop career since his 1997 debut with Playaz Circle. He’s worked with everyone from Lil Wayne to Drake and Kanye, while keeping up a vigorous schedule of solo releases that made him a pioneer of trap. Consistently creative and usually ahead of his time, 2 Chainz looks to light up the Bud Light Stage audience.

WIZ KHALIFA • 10:25 P.M.

Genuine pop hitmakers come along only so often in a lifetime, but Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa is absolutely one of them. From the early days of “Say Yeah” to his most recent No. 1 “See You Again” (a tribute to the late actor Paul Walker, which spent 12 straight weeks atop the Billboard charts), Wiz can certainly be relied upon.
