The MegaMirage stage will be positioned in a new secluded area with its own dedicated entrance and exit. Attendees will not need a second ticket to experience MegaMirage as Electric Zoo’s organizers said in a press release:

Festival passes will cost the lowest in history so that anyone who’s been affected by the economic crisis could still take part in the festivities. We believe dancing is not a luxury, but a necessity at times like this.

MegaMirage will showcase 6 stage takeovers with several artists coming together brining us curated events. Friday will kickoff with the debut of Under Construction brand. This is a collaboration between Chris Lake and Fisher accompanied by a lineup of handpicked acts by them. Cityfox and Gray Area will steal the spotlight on Saturday producing MegaFox. This will be a festival inside of a festival, a duo stage experience that promises to be a haven for house and techno music. The finale on Sunday will premiere the brand-new concept Everything Always by none other than our hot favourite producers, John Summit and Dom Dolla.

Kaskades’ sunset set, Galantis, Zeds Dead B2b Griz will be sets we are also excited for. Tickets are on sale now, available here. Single day passes, three day passes and VIP packages are still available.

After a successful weekend of bass drops and song bops, many attendees are turning to Facebook as an outlet to express their dissatisfaction in regards to their mistreatment during search procedures. Check out their Facebook page here.

Many people state that guards were verbally abusive, irrational, and relentless. Female attendees are horrified at the intensity of pat-down searches. One woman in particular claims three officers touched her “everywhere” after forcing her into a strip search.

This is not the first time there have been issues about security processes, or from this festival in particular. Following the 2014 event, festival-goers swamped social media with criticism over, you guessed it: aggressive searches. Some of these include violating personal pat-downs, security cameras, and drug-sniffing dogs.

Although the 11th anniversary event was the first to introduce the subtitle “Evolved”, it seems like most people here want to see security procedures evolve.

“The safety and welfare of all those who attend Electric Zoo is our top priority,” EZoo wrote in the response. Officials are encouraging attendees to send all and any incident reports to security@electriczoo.com. All cases will remain anonymous and confidential.

EZoo has taken the correct steps in finding a solution for these issues, which is a start. The reality is that these security issues appear to resurface each year for MANY festivals. Security and safety matters will certainly continue be an ongoing conversation in the festival world moving forward. Stay tuned for further updates on this matter.
