I honestly did not expect this Beyond Wonderland to hold up to my first Beyond Wonderland over a year ago. The place was at the shabby outdoors of the Oracle Coliseum where the Love Day Festival took place. I did not have the best impression of the LDF since it felt hastily put together and nothing was organized in the slightest. Traffic was sluggish, the lines was lengthy, and creepy men were sneering in every direction. My expectations were low.
I took my first step in and I remembered why I fell in love with the entire EDM scene: the music, the lights, and sheer aptitude of everything swirling together. The fact that I was with my lover and the #1 person I would turn to rave with only heightened my entire experience. I arrived as an veteran raver but I felt completely reborn. Otto Knows, CAZZETTE, AVICII, Dirty South, Sander van Doorn, and Alesso all cast off my previous shell and left me naked, tender, and curious.
Major props to Dirty South, Sander van Doorn, and Alesso for definitely making my night. Bon and I both agreed that they all had one of the strongest sets and we should take a closer look in the future. This Beyond is easily one of my top favorite raves and will not be forgotten.
The bass was nectar to our ears and the lights were a dazzling display of wishes.
I held Bunny and she held me, and everything was perfect.
