Review #20: EDC Orlando 2024

EDC ORLANDO REVIEW 

LOL, you get exactly what you expect from EDC. 

I had a really good time this year, but it was super crowded. Like over crowded. I guess they sold out a three day passes and they sold out Saturday. Saturday was definitely the worst day for sure, but all of the days were pretty packed.

The production is always on point and Edc the sound quality, the lasers, the visuals, the lights, and all of their decorations are always so spectacular. The sound quality is amazing. They have speakers that go in the middle so you can always hear it. 

Kinetic Field was gorgeous this year. I was blown away fr. 

Medics were on it. I saw a bunch of medics running around. There are a lot of people that go to this festival to get fucked up. 

It is one of the most unaware crowds I’ve ever been in. People are so unaware. Nobody knows what personal space and a lot of people do not acknowledge you as a human being at all. That being said, I did meet a lot of really nice people and a lot of people did excuse me despite how many people did not. It was just nuts. Someone spilled my drink on me. 

The drink prices are absolutely ridiculous. I don’t know why I’m paying $27 a double vodka and it’s sky vodka. Can you at least get a good level quality of vodka? Ridiculous. The food was super expensive. I didn’t eat any of the days, but I did see the prices. I do like that the food is all in one area. It’s like a cute little food court even tho there’s no room lol. 

The water from the refill stations was absolutely disgusting. Its never usually like this but this year it was so bad.

It just takes away a lot of the festival when they have so many people. Like how is anyone going to enjoy the amenities? 

I love that they have people dressed up walking around and different people the take pictures with. It’s so pretty. 

Ground control is still so amazing and really out here doing gods work. 

Lots of people had narcan, end overdose was there giving it out for free. 

I heard vip was nice but way too packed. A lot of people had a problem with it. 

I missed the rhyno bus, no locals playing?

Finally they had an exit this year by circuit grounds every night. One entrance still but it was fast and efficient. This was huge to have two exits. 

Finally had more bathrooms by kinetic and neon garden thank god instead of just the stadium. That was huge improvement. 

They had a good truck which was so cool, it’s Toasted which is a fire place. 

This isn’t their fault but the Uber situation is so fucked up fr. We ubered back night 2 and they canceled my Uber that I reserved a week ago and I was so pissed. We ended up taking a taxi. Super expensive but it did fit all of us which was nice lol. 

They have so many places to take pictures and chill. They also have a couple rides which is so fun. 

The merch this year was nice. I wish I actually got something. 

They also advertise next events on the porta potties which I don’t like. Makes it too commercialized for me. 

The oasis is cute, such a nice spot for people to hang out and chill. 

All in all, it’s a city fest, you know what you are getting, it’s over crowded but it’s a great time. 

The vibes are a mix of good and bad, everyone is having a good time with their friends, there’s just a lot going on and it’s intense. I still had fun but it is what it is lol.
