EDC is a great festival overall to attend. The line up announced in Page 1 is massive. Tell me where else in CA are you going to get a line up like this?

I'm not saying that you guys don't throw great parties, in fact, compared to Fresh and Motiv events, Insomniac events look like the palace of Versailles. What I was saying was, don't complain about things like money and ethics when talking about a company that hosts raves.

And I am very, very excited about EDC!

edit:now, if I do have one complaint, its that Gareth Emery is not on the mainstage!

Stage placement is up to management and agents. It's politics. Agent's always want the best for the artist. Do you know how many DJ's want to play mainstage at EDC. Im sure almost all of them.

step 1 to not being looked down upon would be to timely inform people what they are paying for.

just saying, i know it's not your fault (you're probably the best employee at insomniac)

you have to admit that every single other festival in the history of all time has had their lineups announced timely, yet EDC still says "coming soon" on the website... come on...

Originally posted by Apeattack +1 Both years I went to EDC I remember being on the Coliseum floor at ~2am underneath the moon and stars, feeling the cool June night air, being surrounded by many tens of thousands of people, seeing thousands of moving lights in the stands, and thinking that the scale of the event is awesome. By the way, June 26th will be a full moon.

Sorry but your 2AM experience won't happen this year, I mean it will but you'll already be outside the coliseum. EDC is a "daytime" festival now and only operates till 2.

I'm not even going to argue this anymore. But I am pretty sure all of these artists have played in California up and down the coast, considering you guys brought them all together is nothing special. It's cliche.

It's a LA city ordinance law, which we need to go by.

Dude... sure thy may have been at clubs in LA and San Fran but not a whole lot of them make stops in SD anymore. When Giant pulled out of booking down here, the wells gotten pretty dry and pretty slow. I'm glad to have the opportunity to see some of my favorites up at one place for one flat fee.

Could there be lineup changes? Sure, but you wont please everyone, ever.

I wager anyone here to attempt to throw a small massive. I worked with people on New Years and had shit thrown back at us for the faults of two people's bad communication. My friends lost a shit storm of money. So either man up and try it yourself, STFU and don't go. You have to realize how hard to throw anything this large is, and how much Insomniac is STILL a business.

What do businesses try to do? MAKE MONEY! At least Insomniac continues to prove well enough that they put on events that draw.

Are there miscues? Certainly, and some that shouldn't happen, but really, come on. You know enough of the lineup to decide whether its worth going to. The rest will be icing on the cake. If your favorite artist hasn't announced they are playing, then most likely they aren't. GET OVER IT!

I am looking forward to enjoying the event with my friends. Good music, and good vibes Henry.

How sure are you that monster and love festival will be 4AM this year? . It's something being implemented this year. It' wasn't up to us.
