I think it goes without saying that everyone in the Chicago area would love to have the legendary Electric Daisy Carnival right here in the Windy City! But in case Insomniac Events needed some reasons to bring EDC to the Second (to none) City here are just a few:
1. It’s the center of the Midwest in every sense of the word
(geographically, culturally, etc.) Most importantly it is the geographical
center which makes it ideal for all in the Midwest to make the trip up for EDC. It is in between Milwaukee, St. Louis,
Indianapolis, and Madison. As if you even need those in surrounding cities to
attend with the…
2. 10 Million people in the Chicago metro area alone. Chicago
is a huge city with bigger (more populous) suburbs. Its pretty much doubtless
that an EDC Chicago would sell out
in minutes due to its…
3. Huge EDM scene.
Which is shown by countless sold out shows at the Congress Theater, a perpetually packed Perry’s Tent at Lollapalooza,
and 3 new EDM festivals announced
this year alone (Spring Awakening, Wavefront, and most recently FSDM). And all of these festivals prove
Chicago has…
4. Amazing venues! The only problem Insomniac Events would have is choosing exactly which venue to put Electric Daisy Carnival! They
could put it in and around Soldier Field
as Spring Awakening did, Grant Park as Lollapalooza does every year, or Toyota Park as the new FSDM
will be. I would put my money on Soldier
Field (as this is where ReactPresents had their festival and they are the most likely choice for a
promotional partner) but Grant Park
would be an incredible location and definitely has the space!
Hopefully this summer we'll see Electric Daisy Carnival in Chicago in 2013! Let Pasquale Rotella (head of Insomniac) know how much you want to see an EDC Chicago!
Ill respectfully disagree. In the last year or so at least from what I've seen EDC has dramatically expanded (Puerto Rico, NY) and honestly as an EDM fan when I think of EDC I think of VEGAS. That's EDC. Like Ultra is MIAMI. Just like Chicago is NORTH COAST and now SPRING AWAKENING. We have enough festivals popping up. Im glad most very successful but i wouldn't wanna have 20 festivals in one summer just in Chicago. Festivals are very defined by their locals. Just my two cents.
