7 Historical B2B Sets of 2023

Relive these festival moments and check out Exron’s round-up of the top B2B sets of 2023.

Frequent festival goers who have seen their favorite artists multiple times yearn for unique elements and twists in their sets that reignite the magic in their baby raver hearts. In 2023, artists seem to have recognized this desire and are building to establish a deeper connection with the dancefloor.

In the past, the concept of back-to-back electronic sets often felt like a tactic to boost ticket sales, creating a sense that putting together favorite artists was more about marketing than musical synergy. The audience sometimes experienced a clash rather than a collaboration when the artists’ sounds didn’t blend well.

Though, it feels that now more than ever artists are taking the time to build upon their brands to keep old and new fans alike. Encouraging more creative freedom and collaboration with other artists thus resulting in some of the most iconic back-to-back sets of electronic music history this year.

An Atlanta gal chasing her love for electronic dance music. I’ve been with Exron since 2018 and have the privilege of contributing to the culture alongside other badass women whom I now call my friends. My introduction to the scene was first influenced by trap music, but my discography has since expanded to touch a bit of everything. Some of my favorite artists are Zeds Dead, Cloonee, Nghtmre, Flume, Infekt, Sosa, Bleu Clair, Subtronics, but the list goes on forever.
