On Race Day, Sunday, May 25 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, DJ Hardwell will party in the Snake Pit with race fans. Joining Hardwell will be rising star DJs NERVO and Dillon Francis offering electronic dance party unlike like any other.
Owner of Revealed Recordings, Hardwell is the youngest DJ ever to secure the coveted Top 100 DJs award. He has had six consecutive No. 1 hits on the Beatport Top 100. His latest chart-topping anthem, "Dare You" features Matthew Koma, and has gained worldwide attention from both DJs and fans alike. Worldwide hits include "Spaceman," "Three Triangles (Losing My Religion)," "Countdown," "Jumper," "Apollo" and his highly-acclaimed collaboration with Dyro and Bright Lights "Never Say Goodbye."
Native Australian sisters, Mim and Liv Nervo, are known worldwide by their stage name NERVO, and began their own musical careers as songwriters and first hit it big in 2009 after co-writing the global hit "When Love Takes Over" for David Guetta and Kelly Rowland. The sisters also wrote songs for Ke$ha, Kylie Minogue and Armin Van Buuren before pursuing their own aspirations as performance artists. NERVO climbed the charts quickly with mega hits "We're All No One" with Afrojack and Steve Aoki, rising to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart, and with "The Way We See The World" with Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, which became the official anthem of Tomorrowland 2011 and has received more than 68 million views on YouTube.
The Snake Pit, located inside Turn 3 of the massive IMS infield, will also feature the world's largest inflatable slide, volleyball, corn hole, body painting, food trucks, hula hoops, break dancing and more to experience.
"The Snake Pit presented by Miller Lite has become an extremely popular destination for younger fans during the Indianapolis 500," said J. Douglas Boles, Indianapolis Motor Speedway president. "Hardwell is one of the hottest electronic music DJs in the world and his appearance on Race Day is proof that the new Snake Pit features the hottest performers for fans who come to enjoy the music and the race. Adding NERVO and Dillon Francis to the musical line-up makes the Snake Pit a 'must see' event for electronic music lovers."
