i suck
Happy to help.
Bump.
Anyone going to any other music festivals this year? EDC Vegas 2016 was my first music festival ever and it pretty much blew my mind (well, other things blew my mind, but the music/lights/atmosphere helped lol).
Planning on maybe going to EDC Orlando Nov 5th, and maybe Escape Halloween out near me (I'm in SoCal).
Was going to go to Nocturnal but friends said the lineup wasn't great, so don't think we'll go.
RIOT FEST IN CHICAGO YES
Dash Berlin playing as the sun came up Saturday night/sunday morning was one of my favorites. Armin was great. Above and beyond really hit my vibe (was just great music/timing based on my level of fucked-up-ness lol).
Honestly enjoyed nearly everything I heard. Was never into EDM music before, but the atmosphere and people made it great and found some stuff I liked.
Would have preferred for it not to be 100 degrees, but such is life.
EDC Vegas was a fucking blast. Hopefully Pasquale's new festival comes back to TX.
Best set of the weekend was Seven Lions. That set was all of the sound and fury in the universe brought to bear against the crowd. That man had a vendetta.
Otherwise, best sets of the weekend were Gaia, Pendulum, Aly and Fila Sunrise Set, JOC, John Askew, Astrix, Suckley, Prydz, Knife Party, Richie Hawtin.
First EDC Vegas, sold to go for next year. Next big one is WMC 2017. All for the ASOT 800.
This year was my first time at EDC as well. Had a blast, will prob go again depending on the lineup. The heat was a killer though lol.
Seven Lions was amazing! I get to see him a lot, does a good amount of Bay Area shows. Prydz was insane as well. Seven Lions is actually playing another Norcal show on Oct. 14th at the Fox in Oakland. Illenium is playing Aug. 26th at 1015 Folsom in SF. Should check him out if you dig the SL/Astrix and the like.
Edit: Bash was epic as well. Marshmello got to be a little to face melting for me towards the end, but good.
Unfortunately, I'm a Texas native. We do have tons of trance acts coming through since we have two trance focused promotion companies. I've done plenty of insomniac festivals in Texas, along with the first Escape from Wonderland. It was just absolutely astounding how much they kick it up for EDC Vegas though. 30 mins of fireworks every night? Basspod going so hard that it caught fire? Fuckin awesome.
Hahahaha I was near the bathroom area when Basspod went full "we lit, fam" status. EDC was very interesting indeed. The fireworks were absolutely amazing!
Berlin is playing in SF Aug. 25th as well. It's a Thursday so not sure about that one lol.
They actually cancelled the wonderland event up by is this year, was really bummed about that.
so the friends I was supposed to go with to Shangri-La in a few weeks are just straight-up not replying to me on any communication. I'm so over it at this point, I've decided to go by myself. my only concerns are:
- I've been told by another friend that she talked to the headliner and I'm on "the list" but I'm wary of this :/ potheads are flakes, nothing personal against her.
- easier to score... uh... "stuff" when you're in a group, I've found. although I've never really had trouble with this.
- don't really want to pay for a rental for 4~5 days (depending on if I help set up; long story) if I'm only really "using" it for 2 days. but then again I could always go back into town to get supplies, charge my phone, or straight-up get away from the crowd so it's probably worth it.
heavily leaning toward renting a car at this point (I don't own one). I could get a ride with someone else off craigslist; I've done that before... but eh. I'm too old for that shit. something weird about getting a ride with 20-year-olds when you've over 30 lol
I've decided for sure I'm going though. maybe I'll see Bane; he's not too far away from there
