Caked Up
Vegas hometown heroes, Caked Up probably won’t bake you a cake any time soon, but they make up for that with their massive trap bangers and booming bass lines. The twerk-tastic duo have amassed an enormous following much thanks to their social media antics but it’s their booty-ready party anthems that keeps everyone on the dance floor. Don’t miss your opportunity to get “Caked Up” at Rock in Rio Saturday, May 9th!
