Events | Sunday Of Electric Zoo Canceled Due to “Serious Health Concerns”
Posted by Middy on September 1, 2013
Sunday of Electric Zoo has been canceled. If you are reading this and getting ready for the festival, stop and go back to bed because today is not happening. In conjunction with the Mayor’s office, Made Event, agreed to cancel Sunday after 2 people died over the course of Friday and Saturday and at least another 4 became seriously ill and needed to be hospitalized. The cause for the hospitalizations is not known yet, but it is presumed to be MDMA consumption. Before we start pointing fingers and blaming this person and that person, realize that this is a tragedy and two people died, so our hearts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the those who died, and we hope for a speedy recovery for those hospitalized. However, at some point these needless deaths at festivals have got to come to an end and soon because they are going to bring this to a halt.
Made Event has released a statement on the matter:
The founders of Electric Zoo send our deepest condolences to the families of the two people who passed away this weekend. Because there is nothing more important to us than our patrons, we have decided in consultation with the New York City Parks Department that there will be no show today.

Events, Review | 5 Things I Learned and Saw At Electric Adventure
Posted by Middy on August 22, 2013
In a little Throwback Thursday edition of event reviews, we have Electric Adventure, the 2-day festival that took place at Six Flags, in New Jersey over the 3rd and 4th of August. It combined a bass and trap heavy lineup, with some of the premier roller coasters on the eastern seaboard, giving you an experience where your adrenaline was always pumping, unless you were waiting in line for rides. The lineup was well rounded with guys like Dillon Francis, Seven Lions, GTA, 12th Planet and Zeds Dead all performing over the 2 days. Click past the jump for a few photos and some things I learned and saw at the festival.
Events | The Worst Lineup Conflicts At Electric Zoo – And How To Handle Them
Posted by Middy on August 22, 2013
Waiting for festival schedules to drop is always a funny thing. On the one hand, you’re antsy for set times because you want to start planning your weekend. On the other, you know that when the announcement comes it will invariably serve to confirm all your worst fears about lineup conflicts — terrible, unspeakable conflicts which will surely force you to choose between two or more of your favorite artists. Such conflicts have been known to divide friend groups, start arguments, and lead to tears. Okay, we’re being dramatic, but you know you totally feel us. Electric Zoo is no different, so check out what we think are some of the most glaring and painful conflicts of the weekend — and our advice for dealing with them — after the jump.
(Note: one thing we do know is that those who enter Sunday School Grove probably won’t be racing out to hit the mainstage at many junctures during the weekend, so there aren’t too many conflicts to contend with there. Not bad, eh?)
Events | Electric Zoo Announces Set Times & Updates App
Posted by Middy on August 21, 2013
Electric Zoo is just 10 days away and unlike many festivals this summer, Made Event has been kind enough to release the set times well in advance, so you can start planning your optimal festival experience. Each day starts bright and early at 11am with some acts you don’t want to miss like Audien, Henrix and Khoma, so be ready with plenty of coffee in the morning to get you there, especially if you head out to an afterparty the night before. They have also provided a full logistical layout of the grounds and updated the app, so you can plan your way through the three days and have the lineup on the go. Check the lineup here, and if you still don’t have tickets get them here.

Posted by Middy on August 16, 2013
Morgan Page is no stranger to the North American audience, having done extensive touring across North America and says that El Paso is possibly his favorite place to play. Going bigger than his 35-date sold out “In The Air” tour, Morgan Page ups the ante with a 50 date North American “Morgan Page Presents” tour. The tour will use 3D technology that was originally intended for Michael Jackson and will criss-cross all across the country from San Diego to Mexico to Vancouver to New York, with plenty of stops in between. He will be supported for a month each by some outstanding up and comers, like Project 46 & Walden, Audien & Maor Levi and Beltek & Topher Jones. You can grab tickets on his website below. All dates and artists are after the jump.
