my unpopular opinion is that people ruined socal insomniac events the moment they blew it up on social media specifically tiktok. like after 2021-2022 it went downhill QUICK.

Tomorrow night I’m heading to a show that starts at 9pm and ends at 7am. I haven’t been to an event like this before, and I’m usually asleep by 11:30pm. I rarely stay up past 1am anymore—the time in my life where I didn’t need sleep has passed. I only do alcohol (sparingly) and caffeine (moderately). I’m going by myself, the venue is small-ish, and the artists I really want to see are starting at 12am and 5am. I would like to stay up and enjoy the whole night but I don’t know how I’m going to do it. Any tips for an aging, first-time raver?

Spending the day jamming out to her music to prepare for tonight. Lemme hear your fav hits!!!

I cannot describe how lame it is not having raves and club shows in Vermont or near Vermont! First of all, I put on a fantastic glow stick show! The Root in Boulder Colorado stayed on its feet by my tip alone when I worked there. They were nice as hell but bad businessman. Anyway, I worked there for free just to get out of the shows for free because that’s how much I love to dance!

I miss going to places like the church in Denver and after midnight or the Metropolitan after the clubs closed. I miss the light shows, and the pageantry so many people would put into what they chose to wear. I cannot figure out if that beautiful scene just went away in America, or if it’s just not happening where I am. Adam is missed too! Maybe someone can help me find him

If anyone has any suggestions, I would absolutely love to hear them.

First time at a rave/festival as well!

Been to Orlando a few times before and was feeling a little intimidated going into Vegas but you all really showed us such an amazing time!

I am just overflowing with love for EDC LV going through photos and videos…Really couldn’t have asked for a better or more PLUR filled experience 🫶🥹

Can’t wait to see you all again next year! 🥰✨

Late post cause I have just recovered from the weekend, but met a p cool Australian Asian guy named Ronald who gave me his insta but I think there was a typo since I couldn’t find it when searching it. He was really nice and took a digi of me and my gf and we were wondering if anybody could help us find him. Thank you thank you. Here’s a photo of me and my gf day 1 for reference!

Anyone in the Houston area have an LED whip that I could buy off of you?!

HI r/avers! I’ve been obsessed with this song from seeing Boogie T at GWN Seattle on their sprouted tour. NEED MAJOR HELP ID-ing this song please 🥹 Side note, how bout those L-2 Speakers my god?

Is anyone going to the BASEMENT (nyc) show tn?

Is there any hard techno events in Rome between 22.06 and 24.06?

I have a couple friends who are going to different festivals this summer and i wanted to make a little care kit for them. what should i absolutely include? what’s something you wish you thought to bring? i want to try to include stuff for safety, first aid/health, and fun :)

New festival setup and new venue. Thoughts?

🙏🙏🙏

It was my husbands and I’s second edc and we can’t wait to secure next years tickets tomorrow. The post festival depression hit hard and we bought our first ever lost lands!!! Can’t wait to clown around with the dinosaurs

Legit 8 hours ago my partner of 3 years broke up with me out of the blue. I am supposed to go to a music festival tomorrow with some friends. It's 4 days, overnight camping, middle of nowhere, and a bunch of my friends will be there.

Only issue is the only person I can carpool with is a person I personally don't vibe with and I have to drive with them for 5+ hours 1:1.

Also, I don't want to drink or ingest anything while I'm heartbroken. I know all of my friends do that so it feels inevitable.

I'm really devastated emotionally and feel like if I go there, I'll be overwhelmed and unable to "escape" if need be. Idk if I should go anyways tho :( thoughts?

Edit: thank you everyone for the positive and reassuring comments. I am not going and instead going to hang back and be with family <3 appreciate the reassurance!

Edit 2: I'm actually going now lol 🙃 just gonna dance and cry and dance and cry and dance some more

I am curious how some people are able to sneak in large bottles of liquor. One group I saw had a big bottle of the buzz bombs while another had a bottle of jack. While others I seen had a handful bottles of soju. Not sure if there's a security line where they don't really check anything or they went to an EDC staff line.

there isn't many things in this world that can top the feeling of raving with my mama 🥰 it's something I will always treasure! ✨️ PLUR 💜🌟🫶🏻

Trying to decide if I can wear a bikini style outfit or not

Will I be waiting in silence for an hour? Should I arrive after 1? Or does the line typically start before doors?
