Wow. That’s all I can really say about how incredible EDC in NYC was. While this was the second time I saw Avicii live, the first time I literally remember nothing. Like not one of those normal concert blackouts where you remember a couple songs here and there, you remember dancing, etc. I remember NOTHING. Like I might as well not have been there. So for EDC my number one priority was to actually remember everything. Setup alone was awesome, with 4 different stages all over the parking lots outside MetLife stadium, with a full carnival of rides and food in between. Saturday’s lineup was completely absurd: Cazzette, Alesso, Calvin Harris, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Avicii, each of whom played for 1.5 to 2 hours each. Everyone was incredible, most surprisingly Cazzette who I’m going to throw up as the skirt jam of the week later on this week. Avicii is just playing a whole different game than anyone else at this point. Everyone else plays songs, and remixes of them. Avicii plays a show, just 2.5 hour straight of ebbing and flowing music with a bunch of high points. The N*ggas in Paris remix while a full 20 minute fireworks show went off was a nice touch.
