Paul Oakenfold & The Crystal Method

For the past 30-plus years, Paul Oakenfold has remained in the vanguard of the global electronic music community. With more than 110 million streams collectively, over 5 million albums sold worldwide and three GRAMMY nominations, Oakenfold is one of the industry’s most revered and most successful artists—ever. Hailed as the “Godfather of electronic music,” he’s been voted the world’s best DJ twice by DJ Mag, named the most influential DJ of all time by the London Evening Standard and recognized as the world’s most successful DJ by Guinness World Records. Never one to rest on past laurels, Oakenfold continues to push the envelope via his game-changing performances and projects. He’s known for performing at exotic locales, like the Great Wall of China, in 2003, and from within a 1000-year-old rainforest in Ushuaia, Argentina, the latter of which is recognized as the southernmost city in the world; iconic venues, including the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, where he sold out two dates, in 2003 and again in 2007, and played in front of 30,000 people; and world-class festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury, where he became the first DJ to play the mainstage at both events. Lately, Oakenfold has launched several global, first-of-a-kind performances that take him into the world’s most awe-inspiring locations. In April 2017, he performed a once-in-a-lifetime DJ set at the top of the base camp of Mount Everest, Earth's highest mountain above sea level, following a 10-day hike.
