Diplo to Host TV Show 'Soundclash' on VH1

Diplo

Diplo is set to host a new show on VH1 and Palladia, while The Roots member Questlove will be executive producer.

Soundclash, which launches on July 23, will feature three music acts sharing a stage, performing recent tracks, covers and collaborations one after the other.

The first musicians Diplo welcomes to the stage will be Lil Wayne, London Grammar and Fall Out Boy while Ed Sheeran, Sia and Grouplove appear the week after.

VH1 President, Tom Calderone, said: "SoundClash will showcase established acts at their peak, spotlight breaking artists on the rise, and introduce what’s breaking on the music scene at that moment.

"But it will be the collaborative spirit between the performers on the show that will have music fans buzzing throughout the telecast and for days afterwards."
