EDC NY 2014 to move location to Woodstock, NY

http://pulseradio.net/articles/2013...stival-location

pretty exciting i think to have this massive festival in woodstock, ny and more importantly have it be a 3 day camping festival is an even bigger bonus! even better only 3 hours from buffalo

smart move.....

MetLife stadium didn't want it

Citifield was a cluster fuck

I pray they keep to the Woodstock spirit and book mostly underground acts and artists with real talent.....I won't hold my breath

sounds pretty good! and we already know the techno will be awesome!

Agreed, since EDC always have CC & Friends, RH presents ENTER.

Great to hear, esp. because that's a shorter drive for me than Nassau County.

But, 2 festivals (EDC NY and Mysteryland) in almost the same location at the same time?

Very odd

The grounds at Bethelwoods are really nice, prob. give Mysteryland the nod for that weekend, esp. because they're limiting this to 20k people.

Strange though, they're calling that a 10mil production, so about 500 per person, hard to believe that number.

Anyone have an idea what kind of line-up Mysterland would do over here, esp. if the usual suspects are all at EDC?

"capped at 75000"
I love how they always inflate the attendance numbers by counting each day SEPARATELY (or did EDC actually get about 75k every day, which would be way bigger than per-day Ezoo)?

Most attendees are repeats, esp. at camping festivals, or anything that's alot of traveling, so they're all counting the same person 2x or 3x

(am assuming that the Mysteryland cap of 20k is per day (otherwise at about 7000k attendees, it would be rather small festival)

Yeah Mysteryland sounds interesting and they seem to be going the underground route. Don't understand that 10mil production thing either.

Agree with the attendance numbers. Not sure if they mean 75k a day or 25k a day.

One thing for sure is you know there will be plants of tech/deep house djs in town for DEMF. Rather do one of these than DEMF.

so by spending 10 mil in production thats "going underground"
sounds like another rip off 3 day festival filled with afrojack and alesso type djs
the festival in georgia in sept is dogshit compared to the one on europe

Pretty sure the production has nothing to do with the music played. The Carl cox arena at Ultra costs a pretty penny as well.

I'm basing my assumption on more underground acts that they seem to be targeting a smaller crowd. It could be a corny lineup, who knows. Tomorrowworld is pretty weak, maybe this will be different.

I think it's best to wait for the lineup first. It seems like throwing big festivals at USA is the next BIG thing and people are cashing in.

NYC is so overdue for an "underground" type festival like they have in Europe. I'm just wishful thinking it'll be one of these.....but yea, not holding my breath.

@ andrew:
I meant did you do any of EDC NY 2013, not Tomorrowworld, this being the EDC thread, but it wasn't really very clear, sorry.

oz, agreed, esp. with this two festi overlap, no knowing what direction they'll take this Mysteryland in.

But I'd be up for a camp-out festival like this, because really, all the mega-festi's of this sort seem to be city events (all EDCs, Zoo, and so on)

OTOH, late May weather in the Catskills????

hahah minmoo was a clusterfuck

This was the article I read earlier that hinted at a more diverse/underground lineup.

Woodstock? Da fuh?

Oh and Mysteryland is not putting 10mil in production, the wsj says it will cost $10mil to produce, which means the total price tag of the festival is $10mil. That is a quarter of what EDC costs.

Link to the wsj article

Interesting excerpt:

"Mysteryland isn�t focused on what most Americans know as EDM � the energetic, crossover genre favored at Electric Daisy events that Mr. Stutterheim says amounts to �a modern version of pop music.� Instead, Mysteryland showcases some 20 different styles of electronic music, like trance and house, many of which emerged as a backlash against pop music, he said.

A good part of the budget for Mysteryland will also be spent on theater, movies, interactive installation art, street performers and �bizarre� stage decoration, he said, as opposed to celebrity-DJ salaries."

^^^so whats his explanation for this years line-up? its almost the same dj's or same pop type djs as edc
they are doing an article in the wsj...how can they be "underground"
they make no sense lol
yea they will showcase 20 dif styles of music, but the most popular dj's in that genre.

not saying this event wont be great, we dont know yet..
i just dont think their comments and their line-up this year arent making much sense

or just boycott anything USA and visit the real roots in EU, pay less, have more fun, and be that exotic "yankee" from the USA

and then there's also the fuck festivals just live in ibiza mentality

This years lineup? If you're comparing it to Tomorrowworld than I'm not sure if that's a good comparison.
