Having attended the 2019 Festival, we wanted to return to this beautiful location in the Pacfic Northwest of the United States. This event, put on by Anjunabeats, brings together EDM DJs, Producers, and Fans in an amazing outdoor event that lasts 2 days. Instead of camping, we stayed about 30 miles away at a hotel as the weather was hotter than what we liked for...
I had so much fun last month at Beyond Wonderland that I decided to purchase a one-day ticket for us to enjoy some more music. This event, for a change, is not held at the NOS events center. Instead, it occurs at a regional park in San Bernardino.
The music was great and we danced for quite a few hours.
This represents the first real music festival we have been to since the pandemic began. For me, it was meant to be a test to see if life was finally starting to go back to normal. While this is a two-day festival, I was only able to attend one of the days. It was a pleasure to hear some live music from some of my favorite producers and DJs. I was especially happy to...
Of all the electronic dance music styles, Trance is my favorite. Last year I heard about this event and decided to buy a few tickets last month. Turned out to be a fun Saturday night of dancing.

My sweetheart surprised me with a gift of a ticket to the Rise Festival in the Mojave desert near Las Vegas. I’ve seen videos of this event where paper lanterns are lit and fly up in an amazing display but have been curious about what it is like in person. We had driven to Las Vegas the previous day and enjoyed a short trip to Freemont Street. As the afternoon...
When my girlfriend said “I wish we could do a road trip and see the Group Therapy Weekender” I knew I had to make it happen. I did not realize the fun we would have. For the most part, it was a nice camping weekend along the Columbia River. The days were hot and the nights cool. More importantly, the music was amazing!

For the second time, I have now attended the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas. I was looking forward to going back as I now had some expectations of how the event worked and how to have a good time. For the most part, I was there for the music. I really appreciate the art and like to enjoy the feelings and emotions that are evoked. This year still had some...
The same group, Insomniac, that presents the Beyond Wonderland and EDC festivals has one heck of a Halloween party each year. Though the variety of artists was not as complete as other events, there was still plenty to enjoy. Also, costumes! So the theme of this dance music festival is Psyco Circus. It features crazy clowns, freaks, and other circus oddities...
I love Electronic Dance Music (EDM). While it wasn’t until a few years ago that the genre really took off, I’ve loved it since I discovered a few artists during the 90s (RedNex and Real McCoy). For about a decade I have been vaguely aware of music festivals around the world that celebrate dance music. One that has been on my bucket list is...
Two weeks ago I decided on a whim to visit a new (to me) city, Takayama. For the life of me I could not find a hotel or hostel. I finally got something on Monday. It turns out that we caught the tail end of one of the biggest fall festivals in Japan. The city is actually has 3 big festivals throughout the year. The train ride up to the mountains from Nagoya took...
