You don't need to be perched on someone's shoulders to appreciate the Festival Banger—but it helps. These dizzying dance anthems are EDM's energy drinks, with howling trap horns, big-room basslines, midtempo moombahton grooves, and mosh-pit breaks designed to turn a grassy field (or your living room) into one huge, sweaty rave. They're just as good in the off-season, too, which is why our editors keep this playlist updated all year long. Add it to your library to keep up with what's hot.
