EDM star Kaskade will headline Indy 500 Snake Pit show

Electronic Dance Music star Kaskade will provide the Snake Pit's soundtrack during this year's Indianapolis 500.

Kaskade, a Chicago native otherwise known as Ryan Raddon, is a four-time Grammy Award nominee. His remixes of songs recorded by Beyonce Knowles, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga have topped Billboard magazine's dance charts.

The May 24 Snake Pit concert also featured performances by Steve Aoki, ranked as the world's No. 10 dance-music DJ by DJ Mag, and A-Trak, who worked as Kanye West's tour DJ from 2004 to 2008.

In 2011, Kaskade and Aoki performed at Klipsch Music Center as part of the first date of a festival tour billed as "Identity."

The Snake Pit party, a 6-year-old revival of infield revelry that peaked in the 1970s and '80s before things became too unruly, is now an Indianapolis Motor Speedway-sanctioned event. Past Snake Pit musical attractions include Hardwell (2014), Afrojack (2013) and Diplo (2013).

Admission to the Snake Pit, located inside Turn 3 of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, requires a race ticket plus a $15 Snake Pit ticket, which can be ordered via Indy500Snakepit.com.

Snake Pit music and festivities will begin at 7 a.m. and continue through the end of the race.

IMS now has performers attached to all three of its race weekend concerts. Rock band Jane's Addiction will headline the Carb Day concert inside Turn 4 on Friday, May 22. Country duo Florida Georgia Line will play a Legends Day show at the same place on Saturday, May 23. For more information, visit Brickyard.com.
