Another year in the books for 3-day New York City Based Festival Electric Zoo. The festival took place again this year on Randall’s Island, right off the borough of Manhattan, with the picture perfect NYC skyline set behind Main Stage.

The festival had four stages: Main stage, Hilltop Arena, Riverside & All My Friends. Main Stage of course was the biggest stage and largest crowd of the weekend. The biggest sets to note were from Kaskade, Diplo, Eric Prydz, Zedd, Afrojack, Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren and Dog Blood (Skrillex + Boys Noize). The stage design continued on last years theme with a neon electric details. At times the lights were difficult to see during the day, but after sunset the visuals and production quality was incredible.
