[divider]3. ‘DISO DEMOGRAPHICS[/divider]
When broken down by gender, genre, and nationality, Paradiso 2015 falls in line similarly with past headliner announcements. Male dominated, as is most every major festival, Paradiso has featured two female artists among the 25 total who have headlined the festival, the Yousaf sisters of Krewella. There’s also been a healthy helping of Dutch acts, with 2014 the only year that didn’t feature a headlining artist from the Netherlands. Although, 2015 is something of a resurgence for Dutch artists performing at Paradiso, with three of the six headliners coming from the EDM-factory of a country.
Paradiso has also been able to maintain a well-rounded showing of genres among their healdiners, and 2015 is no different. Apart from the unavoidable year-to-year shifts among headliner styles and genres, fans of trance, progressive house, electro house, and the bassier side of dance music have all had opportunities to see the top acts in their genre of choice at Paradiso.
