Good PR to fool most of the people.
I feel for the smaller venues in Vegas that haven't secured anything.
Everyone was betting on the lineup to get released this week. |
+1
The kids don't care, they will take molly and dance regardless.
At the very least the could release a "tentative line up"
what a huge YOU to all the people that pay good money to listen to music. |

Headliners,
A small but vocal percentage of you have been demanding the EDCLV lineup announcement, so I wanted to share my thoughts with you.
One of my goals in life has always been to give back what I was lucky enough to receive from the early 90’s Los Angeles underground scene: A safe place to escape, be happy and express myself through music, art and dance. A place where my spirit soared and became one with everyone around me. A place where I felt like I’d been touched by sacred energy. I strive for EDC and all of our events to be one of these places.
When I was first exploring dance culture, we didn’t have all of the genres we do now. There was house and there was what we used to call techno, and it was all played on one stage. Many times the DJs, their turntables, and the speaker stacks were on the same ground that served as the dancefloor for tens of thousands of people. Most of the DJs were local and a small handful of them were also producers. Oftentimes we wouldn’t know who was playing until we got to the spot, but it didn’t matter because we knew it was going to be off the hook. If our favorite DJ was playing the party, it was a bonus. But that’s what it was—a party. It wasn’t a concert, and we never treated it that way.
Now you might be thinking, “Man, he’s too old school and out of touch.” I know times have changed, but I’m always going to do my best to keep the roots of this culture alive. Everything moves forward and evolves, from musical genres to technology, and I’m very passionate about innovation and discovery. But one thing has never changed: A good time is what you make of it.
I’m a big fan of certain DJs and producers, but even though I enjoy seeing them perform, it’s all about the collective energy and positive vibes that come from the overall experience. Besides, all the amazing DJs and producers who have graced our stages—whether they’re world famous or a lesser-known local talent—have never failed to put on an unforgettable show. House, techno, trance, drum 'n' bass, trap, breaks, dubstep, hardstyle or anything in between, we always have a little something for everyone.
We strive for our events to be distinct from concerts and festivals. There are plenty of those in the world already.
We want to create something truly different; a colorblind world of make-believe. A place free of judgment where you can wear whatever you want, dance however you feel, and just be present. We want to take you on an adventure to places you've never been, and we hope that you take a piece of the world we create together back into your daily life.
In recent years, a lot of new and beautiful people have discovered the culture, and many of them are conditioned to have the kind of front-facing musical response you find at a rock, pop or hip-hop concert. But this is different. This is dance music. I need to stay true to my heart because my heart is what's gotten us here.
Rest assured, our amazing team of owls is working night and day to make sure all of the EDC details are on point. We will announce the lineup onMay 27th, but until then keep those positive vibes flowing, and focus your excitement on what you are going to experience and how you are going to make this year’s event special for you and your friends. This is a celebration, not a concert. Just because dance music has broken through to the mainstream doesn’t mean we need to play by those rules or subscribe to that way of thinking. It’s what I learned as a fan, and it’s been my touchstone since I started Insomniac. It’s also what’s added so much joy and happiness to my life, and I’m going to hold that torch for as long as I can with the hope that it brings joy and happiness to you, too |
Is this directed to the DJs who are playing EDC, or to the people who are attending EDC?
:conf: |

considering it sold out with no lineup i'm not sure why people care that much. obviously it will have a great lineup - if you know today or in 3 weeks not sure how that changes anyone's enjoyment.
it would be kinda cool in a way if they didn't even announce the djs until you go to the event. |

why do you say this? is there something that prevents them from effectively booking talent before the lineup is announced? |

Because its a you to all the people that spent hundreds of dollars on airfare/tickets/hotel etc that want to listen to music. Obviously the kids don't care(going by the majority of Facebook comments)
What really pisses me off is Pasqual knows he can get away with it since its been sold out for months.:rolleyes:
My only reasoning as to why a teaser line up isn't ever released is because Insomniac doesn't want to effect EDC NY/EDC U.K. ticket sales(which are not currently sold out) |

seriously can't believe any of you are defending Pasquel, lol.
this is one of the biggest music festivals in the world. this is the ONLY music festival in the world that has these problems, every ing year. It's pathetic. His little letter or whatever? that is complete bull
I'm still hoping some legit day/night parties come up. 98% of everything posted so far is complete . I don't want to hear beatport top 10 lists all week, god damnit, give me some good music.
so glad i didnt buy a ticket to EDC this year. I'll have fun either way during that EDC week but it's looking less and less like there will be any music or dancing which is really disappointing. |

And Neon Garden will probably be Enter, Carl and Friends and possibly Drumcode.
Don't know why you are acting like this is a surpise.Lineup was out May 1 last year, and June the year before. This is Vegas not Miami its not exactly going to be flooded with underground label parties. And even in Miami those are not announced until a couple weeks ahead of time... |

maybe he doesn't want piss off any DJs in which who is going on before or after a certain DJ
like the Made pissed off PvD by putting him before ATB at E-Zoo wich led to PvD pulling out of the festival... |

where did i say this was a surprise? I have gone to EDC 6 times in the last 8 or 9 years. I know how they roll. It's still totally incompetent and inexcusable. One year they didnt even have the timeslots until the thursday night before the festival. |
