Insomniac Events Cancels Two Festivals, Postpones Releasing New Event

April 1, 2016 by Theo Maulen

Pasquale Rotella, the head of Insomniac Events, took to social media on March 30th to announce that Insomniac will be cancelling two events this year. EDC Puerto Rico and Beyond Wonderland will not be taking place this year (2016).

The official statement stated;

“This might bum some of you out, but we won’t be doing EDC Puerto Rico or bringing beyond wonderland to the bay area this year. This has nothing to do with attendance; it’s always a packed house, and you all bring amazing energy! Right now, we’ve decided to focus on exploring new cities and enhancing the experience at some of our other festivals.”

You can find the full release here and it is also linked throughout Rotella’s social media.

Beyond Wonderland, which is usually located in the Bay Area is one of many events that take place in the San Francisco area. BOO!, Audio on the Bay, and We Are NRG will still be taking place this year.

With these two events being cancelled, EDC Japan has been postponed from the original plan of having a launch date in July.

“I also want to send a special thank-you to all the Headliners who’ve expressed their excitement and helped spread the word about EDC Japan. While we are fully committed to bringing the festival to Asia, we have decided to hold off on our July launch date. So many factors go into creating a successful festival, and we want to make sure you have the best possible experience for our first-ever EDC Japan. Stay tuned, as we hope to announce our plans soon,” Rotella said.
“Thank you for supporting us for so many years, and for being so passionate about this culture we all share. I feel more energized than ever before. We’re even making big changes at Insomniac HQ—healthy snacks, new office murals, team-building events—all to make sure the Insomniacs are in the right mindset to deliver for you. As always, I value your opinions and feedback, and I can’t wait to see all of you at our shows.”

It is awesome that instead of trying to overwhelm themselves with events Insomniac is actually attempting to produce quality events.  With this year following the 20th anniversary of of Nocturnal, which was last year, and this year being the 20th anniversary of EDC; Insomniac is trying to keep the quality up.  Wait to see what comes next with this announcement.  #JourneyAhead
