Ahead of his first-of-its-kind Stagecoach set this weekend, Diplo unveils his new country projectThomas Wesley and its first track, “So Long” featuring Nashville superstar Cam. Listen here. The release is one of several forthcoming collaborations with country artists, a first for Diplo.
Following successful shows at Calgary Stampede and the Indy 500 Snake Pit, Diplo will play Stagecoach’s first ever Stagecoach Late Night at the festival’s Palomino stage this Sunday, April 28.
Diplo, born Thomas Wesley Pentz, is one of the most dynamic forces in music today under his own name, as well as a member of the now legendary Major Lazer, LSD with Sia andLabrinth—which has tallied more than a billion streams and just released its debut album, and Silk City with Mark Ronson—whose “Electricity” with Dua Lipa topped charts worldwide and won aGrammy Award for Best Dance Recording. As the world’s most in-demand producer, Diplo has worked with artists as disparate as Beyoncé, Bad Bunny and Turnstile. The past year has seen the release of two EPs, the continent-inspired EP Europa and California, inspired by his sometimes-home base of Los Angeles. He continues to tour the world over.
