Making it to Dancefestopia

     If you have been following the blog, you have likely ran into either a post or reference to multiple festivals. What I omitted was the "horrendous" cost of these large festivals. Making it to Dancefestopia will cost you, but I doubt you will regret it.

Electric Daisy Carnival 3-day general admission tickets are 426$
Tomorrowland 3-day general admission is 868$
Dancefestopia however is only about 168$

   "Only" may seem like an under exaggeration, it is a-lot to spend for most people. When you consider what that 168$ purchases though it is actually quite the deal. There will be 75+ sets performed at Dancefestopia this year, 3 days of nonstop music and enjoyment, the experience is more than worth it. There are other expenses to consider though before you just run out and get festival tickets. A 3-day festival will require you to purchase/bring plenty of food and water. Also if you don't have a tent, you will either need to get one from the DFT shop or buy your own. Also gas and a required parking pass if you drive there. This means in reality the entire weekend will cost you around 300$ to 400$.

     BUT Dancefestopia offers you the opportunity to get your tickets free by selling them on their behalf. http://dancefestopia.thephysicalnetwork.com
Sell 8 tickets get yours free, there are also a number of other incentives depending on how many tickets you manage to sell. This is a cost effective way for determined festival-goers to make it to them more often.

Dancefestopia

     The footage of EDC 2014 and Tomorrowland always invoke a sense of excitement in ravers hearts. For some of us though, those events are out of reach. For those of us living in Kansas though, we have Dancefestopia, and Dancefestopia is awesome.

     Don't believe me? Check out this video teaser for last year's Dancefestopia.

     Dancefestopia is in Kansas City, which for most of us is a relatively short drive. It is a 3 day festival with onstage performances non-stop. There will be 3 stages and with the way acts are set up it is possible to see all 35 of the headliners and majority of the other 40 or so acts that will perform during the festival: and most importantly there will be access to showers this year! Which if you've never been to a festival seems like an odd thing to be excited about... but trust me you, and anyone near your tent will be more than happy about it.

Here are a couple of pictures from Dancefestopia and also this years line up of performers.

EDM Around The World

     EDM music and rave culture span the entire globe. The current rave culture and EDM trends were all born in western europe, not that the eastern half has not made significant contributions to the culture. What was originally a niche culture grew into a world wide phenomenon. EDM for the most part has no language with no language barriers many EDM DJ's have fan bases across the globe.

     The shows on the international circuit are a completely different beast.They are much larger, much louder, and from what I can tell much more fun.

      Tomorrowland is my favorite on the international circuit, and it is the favorite of many EDM/rave enthusiasts. It is hard to call Tomorrowland a "rave" necessarily for one it is not one and done. Tomorrowland is a 3 day festival that tours the different cities around the world. No description I nor even the official website can give does Tomorrowland justice. So below is footage of the 2014 Tomorrowland  festival tour. Feel free to add it to your bucket list like so many others before you have!
