This past weekend marked 13 years of Insomniac's Beyond Wonderland SoCal.
The Alice in Wonderland themed rave brought big names including, REZZ, The Chainsmokers, Zeds Dead, Madeon, Alesso and many many more (50+ artists a day to be not exactly exact) across 5 stages and 2 days of raves. The festivities also brought an estimated 93,000 ravers, or headliners as Insomnaic calls them, to N.O.S Center over the weekend. This made history as the biggest Beyond at the venue which has hosted the event since it's inagruation in 2010!
Insomniac goes above and beyond (no pun intended) with lighting, decorating, activations and character actors at all of their various themed events. Whether it's skyhigh skeletons at Escape, people dressed as the White Rabbit hopping around at Beyond, alien strippers at Countdown, all of the neon daisies on Daisy Lane at EDCLV or a huge blinking owl on the mainstage at EDCO, Insomnaic brings every event to life. Work usually has me too busy or leaves me too tired to experience fests' festivities, this time the closest I got was a photo op by some branded scrim en route to the bathroom, lol, and that was good enough for me.
P.L.U.R, bro.
