Excision Preps Headbangers for Return to Cancún With Huge Paradise Blue 2023 Lineup
Headbangers, it’s time to prepare your neck braces and sunscreen. While Excision has been making waves for many years now with his East and West Coast bass music gatherings, Lost Lands and Bass Canyon, he added another event to his arsenal in 2022. Hitting the beach, Excision and friends took fans of the heaviest electronic music sub-genres to Mexico for Paradise Blue, a destination music festival at a beachside resort. With special late-night performances, beachside partying and a stage flanked by a giant pool, Paradise Blue is unlike anything Excision has organized. Now, just over a year after the festival was revealed, the dubstep titan has announced the lineup for the event’s sophomore edition.

As Excision continues to expand his festival empire, it was only a matter of time until he went international.

After responding to a graphic allegation of sexual assault, electronic music producer STUCA has been removed from a triad of major music festival lineups.
