While there's no official schedule of what will be broadcasting live (yet), they will be making sure to play the sets from the festival's biggest stars, with everyone from Tiesto to Mat Zo getting some time. SiriusXM's "Music Lounge" will also be in effect, with interviews with some of the EDM scene's biggest also going down.

SiriusXM subscribers have a plethora of ways to tune in: channel 52 on their SiriusXM satellite device, the SiriusXM Internet Radio app via their smartphones and other devices, as well as online at siriusxm.com.
