The musician also helped produce Major Lazer’s hit “Lean On” in 2015 which reached number one at Top 40 Radio.

“Diplo remains the go-to producer for the who’s who of the pop music landscape,” UU said in a press release.

UU also announced that performers Ugly God, MØ, Smallpools and Jeremy Zucker will perform at Juice Jam. The annual festival opens to students at 12:15 p.m. on Sept. 10 at Skytop Field.
