In March 2016, it was announced that this year's festival will see the return of deadmau5, DVBBS, Steve Aoki and The Chainsmokers along with Travis Scott, Flume, Kygo, and Martin Garrix.
In June, the full lineup for the July 30–31 event was announced and included Post Malone and Duke Dumont, among others.
The organizers stated that similar safety measures will be in place this year with additional stations and staff.
The company also rented a nearby building to serve as an additional medical center staffed with a doctor and nurses.

The Saturday concerts began with a set by Galantis followed by another DJ duo Yellow Claw.
This was followed by another performance by Steve Aoki, a veteran of the VELD stage.
Duke Dumont, who had missed out on the previous year's festival due to bad weather, performed on the second stage, now renamed the Terra Stage.
The main stage saw performances by DVBBS followed by a half-hour set by Flume.
The night's festivities ended with a performance by deadmau5, who would again play the festival's namesake song "The Veldt".
The artist unveiled for the first time his new stage with a distinct cube design.

Sunday performances began under cloudy skies that soon cleared.
The first on the main stage was New World Punx while Ephwurd performed on the second stage.
The Chainsmokers, whose performance the previous year had been partially interrupted, would perform on the main stage.
Kygo performed the second to last set on the main as the sun began to set.
The evening ended with the headliner of the event Martin Garrix.
His performance was capped off with fireworks fired from the stage.
