For an ideal instance this, look no additional than LED‘s OMFG. Over the course three days, San Diego was graced with performances from headlining artists corresponding to Kaskade, Illenium, San Holo, and Porter Robinson.

OMFG happened on the newly topped “Pechanga Arena San Diego”. The Pechanga Arena is positioned within the seaside neighborhood Point Loma, in San Diego. The enviornment venue holds a capability 16,100. Being an indoor enviornment, the venue hosted one big dancefloor, with a close to 360° seating space.
I've attended a number of LED occasions held right here, and in all honesty this was fairly probably the perfect one but. In years previous, the expertise right here has been stricken by each uncomfortable temperatures, and poor acoustics. LED appeared to maintain each these points in test because the venue was a cool, attendee-friendly house, with higher than common sound high quality.
If I had been to have one gripe, it might in all probability be having the dancefloor closed f by safety guards midway via every night time. This left quite a few followers caught within the stands, being compelled to observe the present from afar. I assume that is what occurs when you have got a offered out occasion, I blame the lineup.
The Lineup
In years previous, the New Years Eve occasion was held over two days. This years occasion noticed LED lengthen the occasion into a 3 day spectacle because the the preliminary two days offered out virtually immediately. In the top, all three days offered out, leaving hopefuls scrambling to search out tickets within the lead as much as the occasion.
Day One
The first day set the bar excessive, as newcomers Lokii, Fangs, & Mitis all introduced the warmth. The night time continued on with Slumberjack taking management, main us right into a Manilla Killa set. The better part the night time was simply the particular two-hour Kaskade set. He later turned over the decks to the veteran DJ duo in Tritonal, who put their seal on an already superb night time.

Dabin, Bonnie x Clyde, & Luca Lush all got here able to play, as they set the stage for these enjoying after them, in addition to the attendees who acquired there at first the night time. Said The Sky made positive to convey the feels, which was simply the perfect primer for Illenium. Going ahead, Boombox Cartel introduced the home down, leaving simply sufficient vitality for the gang to lose it to SAYMYNAME.
Day Three/New Years Eve
What was in all probability my favourite night time OMFG was this one, as there have been a number of artist I had but to expertise on the schedule. Yetep, Gammer, and Valentino Khan all introduced the fireplace that they're identified for, nevertheless it wasn’t till San Holo took the stage that issues slowed down a bit. 1788-L adopted, tearing up the dancefloor together with his signature fashion bass music, main the way in which for an epic Ekali set. Porter Robinson closed f OMFG, and I used to be actually stunned that everybody in attendance nonetheless had vitality to maintain going. It was straightforward to see majority the gang was there for him, oh Porter.
Highlight Sets
Kaskade is definitely one the perfect within the recreation, and the truth that the gang acquired to expertise a particular two-hour set is superb. A real DJ in each sense the phrase, Kaskade introduced his A-game, and stored the vibe going nicely into the night time.
Ekali has been everywhere in the information relating to the world Dance Music. I lastly acquired the possibility to test him out, and now I can perceive why. The man is aware of tips on how to throwdown a correct set, and preserve the vibe alive. His edit Martin Garrix‘s ‘Scared To Be Lonely‘ had time feeling nonetheless there for a minute.
Ringing within the new yr with San Holo must be my favourite second the entire weekend. As late, he’s actually switched issues up fairly a bit. He performed all the tracks that we’ve come to know and love from him. What I loved was that his set contained most , if not all, the tracks from ‘album1‘. It was very awe-inspiring to see him whip out his guitar and play his melodies reside as nicely.
