I only like Justin Bieber from that list so I probably won’t go..
I might go only because of Justin Bieber. The rest of the line up is terrible (besides maybe PSY)..
calvin harris…. afrojack….. all so much better than bieber.
I will def. go.
Psy, justin, pitbull, carly rae, & calvin.

my friend is going, she says its an ONLY JB CONCERT. i was like WHOA!! (although i went to see JB oct.24 2012!) then i went on here and was like oh, gosh no am i buying tickets to see some people i dont even know!! if it was only JB, i would def go!! this is prob the worst concert ever known except Justin…….. <3 him…… i could go on and on but that would take up this whole website hehe…..bye
i wanna go but yah that one person is right theres rely no one i like there accept for JUSTIN BIEBER and AUSTIN MAHONE
I wanted to go, but after reading the line-up of performers I don’t think I am. They should have added some hip-hop flavor. Such as, Rihanna, Big Sean, or Usher. Maybe next year
WOW! There is great performers and half of you are only going for JB?? Don’t get me wrong he’s pretty awesome but AFROJACK, CALVIN HARRIS are one of the BIGGEST EDM dj’s. half of you people are Lucky to even see them!
