Iggy Azalea, Skrillex to Headline Billboard's Winterfest During Sundance Film Festival, Alesso and Knife Party Also Confirmed

Bilboard's inaugural Winterfest Music Festival just added one of 2014's biggest names - Iggy Azalea. The Australian rapper will join EDM star Skrillex for the festival, which will run Jan. 22-31 in Park City, Utah, the same week as the Sundance Film Festival. More headliners will be announced soon, but Alesso, Knife Party, Portugal. The Man and Lindsey Stirling are already confirmed, Billboard reports.

A pre-sale is currently happening for tickets.

Azalea was at the magazine's recent Women in Music Awards to receive the honor of 2014's Chart-Topper. She gave a speech honoring the one woman who, as Azalea said, she owes her career to the most - Sarah Sennett, the CEO of the rapper's management company.

"I had a rocky start in the music business," Azalea said. "I thought I was going to get this massive record deal, and then I didn't. And I thought my life and career was over -- no one would return my phone calls.

"Sarah heard my story and she said, 'That's terrible, I can't let that happen to you.' Without her, I would probably have no career at all. She single-handedly convinced everyone in this room to take a chance on me."

Although her big year is coming to a close, Azalea recently announced that she would be embarking on a lengthy tour in April. Check out those dates here.

Azalea was 2014's most-searched star, according to Google's Year in Search. Her monster hit, "Fancy," dropped in March, a month before her debut album, The New Classic. She won Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album at the American Music Awards and is up for Best Rap Album at the Grammys.
