2012 Festival Season Wrap-Up

After attending some of the biggest festivals in both the U.S. and abroad during the 2012 season, we decided to rank the events from least to most favorite in addition to including the most apparent pros and cons.

1.  EDC New York
Pros : Impressive techno / tech-house lineup
Cons: Seemed like it was thrown together last minute for money making purposes
          Noob crowd



2.  Monegros Desert Festival
Pros : 20 hours of non stop partying
          No security & re-entry all day/night
Cons : No one speaks English, we suggest investing in Rosetta Stone before attending next year

3.  Ultra Music Festival
Pros : Takes place during WMC therefore the additional day/night parties are endless
Cons : The new venue was not conducive to large crowds
          Group Therapy was not included

4.  EDC Las Vegas
Pros : Out of this world production
        Night time festival hours
Cons : Getting to the festival was an absolute nightmare
            Although its not Insomniac's fault, being jipped day two was a real buzz kill

5.  Electric Zoo
Pros : By far the best crowd of any festival
          Less frills makes it feel like it's more about the music
          Above and Beyond two days in a row (this is a biased "pro")
Cons : Sunday School tent ended the earliest
           A few big acts dropped out last minute
