The first spotlight performer being announced is popular electronic dance music producer and DJ, Darude.

"The Twitch community has been really passionate about my music, especially in the way they hype ‘Sandstorm’ in chat and the support they have given my Twitch channel," said Darude. "I look forward to performing for this incredible group of gaming and music fans at TwitchCon."
