Incorporating Electronic Dance Music Into Your Festival
Date:Thursday, March 28, 2013 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT
With electronic dance music taking over the music festival world, incorporating it into the program is becoming increasingly popular. The explosion of the super-spectacle, cutting edge EDM festival in North America has drawn over 400,000 spectators, grossing close to $40 million with no end in site. Last year, dozens of new EDM festivals emerged in the US and EDM became a major player in the “mainstream” festival world. With private jets and huge pay-outs to the top DJ’s, what are the risks and rewards of incorporating this experience into your festival? Hear from Jake Schneider, booking agent for BASSNECTAR , Philip Blaine, owner of Philip Blaine Presents and Dede Flemming, co-founder of The Do LaB, who know it best, explain the best practices of EDM at a music festival.
