"Best $2k I Ever Spent!" After Windstorm Shutdown, EDC Rages Harder Than Ever

1 of 9

We'll get the sad part out of the way first: all this beautiful staging had to shut down early on Saturday night when winds up to 50 m.p.h. were judged by promoters and safety officials to be a threat to the overall well-being of the event and attendees. Unfortunately, that meant that sets from Steve Aoki with Blue Man Group, Tiesto, MSTRKFT, Richie Hawtin, Avicii, Dubfire and Armin Van Buuren were all cut short or cancelled, although several of those guys would play other sets over the weekend, and Saturday single-day tickets were honored on Sunday, helping swell the final night crowd to well over 100,000.
