Headliners
Tag Team
Tag Team is bringing the house down with the anthem that launched a million parties. You know it. You love it. “Whoomp! (There It Is)” went platinum for a reason. It’s impossible not to move when this Atlanta duo hits the stage. Since 1993, they’ve turned stadiums, clubs, and now San Antonio Zoo into one massive celebration. Their energy is infectious, their vibe is pure fun, and when that beat drops, everyone becomes part of the party.
Digital Underground
Then Digital Underground takes over with the funk-infused hip-hop that changed the game. These Bay Area legends gave us “The Humpty Dance,” one of the most iconic, impossible-to-sit-down-to tracks in music history. They introduced the world to Tupac and blended Parliament-Funkadelic grooves with hip-hop innovation to create a sound that’s instantly recognizable.
