    Electric forest is a must. It is an S tier. You get re entry to the festival all throughout the day and night. Camping is insane. The vibes are amazing. And hammocks as far as the eye can see. Lots of shade in the forest. The big stages don't really have much shade though.

    My opinion, but I felt EDC Mexico is better than EDCLV.
    Pros
    1. I walked to the event since there are plenty of hotels nearby so no stuck in parking lot afterwards
    2. February weather in Mexico City is perfect for festivals
    3. Tickets are like 1/3 of the price for the same amount of days
    4. They give hardstyle a better stage twice I've been there compared to all 4 times EDCLV
    5. Love how there's vendors walking through the crowds selling stuff so I don't need to leave mid set.
    Cons.
    1. Less PLUR vibes
    2. Lineup less star focused, but still stacked
    3. No sunrise set

    Fun fact: Hard Summer became an Insomniac festival in 2018.
    My first experience was in 2015 and actually was a fun experience with decent production/execution. There were some sound issues but nothing major. After that, Hard Summer started to get worse because they lost the Fairplex location and no upgrades to the experience (imo).
    Once Insomniac took over, the festival has upgraded. I also agree with you that Nocturnal’s lineup has been so-so and I heard camping was a hot mess. Personally, I think the mainstage production for both HARD and Nocturnal could be better also.
    Thank you for your video! With that said, EDC LV will always be #1 rave (from her list) for anyone that hasn’t been. I’ve heard Electric Forest is also top tier.

    My first rave ever was nocturnal 2006. Before it was wonderland. It was 55$ at the door and it was one of the best nights of my life. So nocturnal is my top forever. Then beyond, then edc vegas. And i went to the very first audiotistic it was tiny at a club in socal and insomniac picked them up after that. I stopped going in 2013 for a long time so I've been to a ton of raves but in recent years I have only been to beyond wonderland hard summer, and countdown. So now countdown is my fave. And hard is garbage comparatively.

Only because, I feel a lot of people just go to get shit faced drunk for escape that aren't Into the music. The vibe is so much more plur at beyond. That said, it is sad that I don't like the vibe as much at escape because I'm such a horror genre fanatic. Escape 2019 was way over crowded and I just witnessed so many fights. It was just off. :(
