Beyond's official Music Festival thread

[GS430]

Instead of talking about festivals in random travel threads, thought it would be a better idea to just make one thread.


Come here to talk about your recent festival experiences, ask questions, post pictures and discuss upcoming events!



I personally got the chance to hit up Coachella last year, had the time of my life. Definitely going back in 2013. Also looking forward to EDC 2013, as it starts the day of my birthday.

I have been to EDC 2011 Las Vegas, if anyone has questions about EDC or Vegas just PM for the quickest response. Looking forward to some partying in 2013.

Sweet, you'll be hearing from me as I've never even been to Vegas before lol.


Anyone hear the rumors about Daft Punk today headlining Coachella 2013??
I know it's just rumors, and year after year it comes up, but I have a gut feeling they'll pull through this time.

I was considering going to the Crossroads Guitar Festival in NYC next year, but it would've been too baller of a trip for me, especially since I would've wanted to go both days. So as a cheaper alternative, I'm going to see Clapton in Phoenix in March

Clapton would be amazing live.

What's this Crossroad Festival about, stand out performers etc..

There's honestly nothing like a mass amount of people gathering for the love of music.

It's basically two days of jazz, blues, and rock and roll Clapton throws with his buddies every few years to raise money for his Crossroads drug rebab centre. Check out the line up:

Bill "Fucking" Murray was at the last two in 2007 and 2010 haha

[GS430]

Oh fuck! Totally had a mind fart, I've watched it one year when BB King was jamming with Clapton.

It threw me off when you said NYC, they're usually in Texas right?

Thanks for contributing to the thread, I'm a huge fan of many genres and love getting different insight on music.

Music Festivals my livelihood

Shambhala is the best, by far.. Chill by the river all day, party like a savage till dawn and longer.. Biggest group of cool/weird/interesting people you will find haha.. it can definitely change you.

Coachella was fun, My friends DJ'ed after 2 at their campsite(on one of the main drags) at coachella last year, that was legit because i hate how it ends so early.. I was lucky, stayed in a house on one of the PGA courses and road beach cruisers to the festival. Partied at the campsite then returned home to a pool thank god. it was fucking hot all day. and you werent allowed spray bottles in the grounds because apparently people were spraying LSD in people faces hahaha

Electric Zoo in new york was fucking wild.. Sucked being let out in harlem though such sketchy departures from the festival. the sponsored after parties were awesome though! We rented a condo and just cabbed around nyc for a few days.. I'd go back for sure. straight up RAVE.

Holy ship in 16d16h32m... can't fucking wait, anyone else going? Haven't been yet.

I want to do ultra and tomrrowland this year as well, heard they were both unreal?

Boonstock wasn't all that bad either, you could just do whatever you wanted really haha.. Lots of weirdo rednecks and shit though. we just stuck to our massive semi circle camp when there was no good shows on and had a hell of a party..

Sasquatch is cool for indie hipster types haha, had fun but wont be going back..

COG is pretty brutal...

Thats all i got?! How's EDC? my friends that went this year said it was too busy..



EDIT: I cant forget CEMF!(calgary electronic music festival) My friends were a big part in running it, and it needed more exposure, M machine and adventure club were unreal! M machine dj'ed at my friends place for an after party.. Next year hopefully it gets more support, and we can have a decent local festival for EDM!

I listened to ASOT live from UMF last year and it sounded absolutely bonkers.

You renting a condo or anything down there?

[psycoticclown]

^That's what we're looking for

[GS430]

I always listen to it on sirius when they are live that week sounds amazing. We are staying at the hilton, which is a bit steep at 350 a night but the location is nice. then after the festival taking off to key west for a night which should be fun too.

Outlook ftw imagine partying in a cave or boat parties.

I party.

Wooooooow buddy... slow fucking clap. That is mighty impressive.

[Hi-Psi]

I'm a huge music festival fan.

I've been to Coachella, Sasquatch and Boonstock as well as some smaller ones here and there.

This year I wanted to finally do Ultra and Tomorrowland but with work it's going to be tough(I work out of town a lot).

I will for sure hitting up Coachella and EDC in Vegas, will probably make Boonstock and possibly my first time to Shambhala.

Will have to see how my schedule does and possibly make some more...
