Which are your favorite music festivals? Post on! I want to know what you guys thinks a good festival. Tomorrowland sounds kinda sweet to me.
 
I've only been to Lollapalooza and Shambhala so far, but I'd like to go to:
Creamfields
Burning Man
Innovation in the Sun
Kazantip
Pirate Station
Mysteryland
Tomorrowland
Decibel
Glastonbury Fest
Sensation Black
Electric Forest
Bonnaroo
Defqon
Qlimax

There's a whole bunch of smaller local ones I'd also really like to attend. You know, the small, family-type bush raves that are muddy and funky.. :)
 
I wanna check out Electric Forest and go back to Camp Bisco this summer
 
You guy's hear about WMC in Miami... I guess it's a pretty big electronic festival here in the U.S. Usually has like the top 50 dj's in the world spinning there every winter... But I'd want to check out anything over in Europe especially the dark electro stuff like vnv nation type artists. I've been to DEMF which had some great DJ's but that's if your in the U.S.
 
Im surprised that nobody's said anything about the ultra music festival, Its supposed to be massive.
 
Not a primarily electronic music festival, but summer camp for me. EDM scene is huge in Chicago right now... but also getting more and more lame. I know I have always said I love the exposure that dance music is getting in the past few years, but am thinking of retracting my statement. Watching A-trak friday was like getting violently raped by hundreds of bro's and hipsters. We need a better club here in Chicago.
 
Check out Freaknight if you wanna see Seattle do a massive right! Too bad it is only one night.

it happens all the time with any scene . it starts ,it gets big ,it gets invaded by outsiders who are only in cuz its trendy, it collapses and it goes back to where it originally started. same thing kinda happen in the late 90's early 00's. invasion of all the candy kids looking for that xtc... lol. when i started going to parties in 95 no one asked me for anything. By the late 90's i got asked all time by candy kids just looking for anything to get fucked up. made me sad...

Oh looks like someone doesn't like The Mid! I have to say, it has it's moments. I don't think we're going to get a better club. Maybe if they can move that stupid VIP area. Clubs will always bring out the Bro's and club whores. That is just what the club scene is here. BUT have you gone to Vision when a huge trance DJ has played. It's pretty damn good. We get a lot of free or real cheap shows here though, I think we're lucky with that.

Lolyes. Man I had fun in 2011.. one of my friends owns Digital Innovators, an event production company in Seattle, and he was able to hook me up with an all-access 'Artist' wristband.. so epic. Only ended up paying $40 for that. Killer night.

SIIICK! That is too cool. Dada Life was off the hook. I was really impressed by everything. I wish I got to check out Pendulum and spent a bit more time on the rides. I was just so absorbed in dancing.
 
Are you serious? Bisco? Bisco was cool,long before whatever this music they are making now is considered DB music. Honestly I don't think it's happening-wayyy too many kids found dead and shift all over the piece. Biscuits scene was soooo fun until like even 2007, and then it just got sadly overrun with people that weren't there for the music, just like Pj
Phish back in 97.
