No way! Insomniac throws done every year - same with skills. The massives are a must to support the scene. If it were up to clubs only, the underage would never be able to see the djs they are growing up with. Also, having massives that can hold thousands, especially in the EDC venue, is like nothing else in the state. So prices are high, lines are long, same artists, etc. but just think how bad the scene would be without insomniac. Artists hear that LA has a good reputation because of all the events and massives. If it were purely clubs, it would be a lot harder and more expensive to book quality acts. I asked above and beyond what they thought about playing at the massive last year and they loved it. They say between djs, talking about gigs helps make the artist feel more secure before playing at an event knowing there will be a good crowd, be it a club or massive. And they told a few about the event, even made a video about it. ANd IMO nothng beats an outdoor stage massive. Yea its a short set and what not, but the vibe of the show being outdoors (one stage) instead of just a indoor massive or tents only is just amazing.
Keep on tearing things up Insomniac!
