In case you were wondering, the Electric Zoo Festival is held annually on Labour Day weekend at Randall’s Island Park in New York City in the USA. The festival features acts from all electronic genres.
The Electric Zoo Festival for 2012 was held from 31 August to 2 September and featured headlining acts like Above & Beyond, Pretty Lights, David Guetta, Laidback Luke, Dada Life, Tiësto, Porter Robinson and others.
More than 110,000 people attended the Electric Festival this year. Just to give you an idea that’s about 5 times the people that attended Oppikoppi this year. Kinda insane if you ask me. I think I have to add this festival to my bucket list.
This photo was taken at the Electric Zoo Festival this year by Karsten Moran for The New York Times and it has been selected as the Daily Cool Photo on Running Wolf’s Rant for the 20th of September 2012.

For those of you who did not know, Tomorrowland 2012 took place in Belgium from 27 to 29 July. The line-up for the festival consisted of 400 DJs.
Skrillex, Avicii, Skazi, David Guetta, Nervo, Hardwell, Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Carl Cox, The Bloody Beetroots, Paul van Dyk, Martin Solveig, Chuckie, Fatboy Slim and Pendulum were all part of the line-up for Tomorrowland 2012 – pretty insane if you ask me. What’s even more insane is the fact that they DJed on 15 different stages.
If you were one of the folks bitching about Red Hot Chili Peppers and Linkin Park tickets a few weeks ago, this will blow your mind. 80,000 pre-sale Tomorrowland 2012 tickets were made available to Belgians on the 24th of March – they sold out in less than a day. On the 7th of April 100,000 tickets were made available worldwide – they sold out in 2 hours. In other words: this year’s festival had an attendance of 180,000 people (that’s 9 times the crowd at Oppikoppi in South Africa this year – in case you were wondering).
More than 35,000 people used the camping facilities (also referred to as “Dreamville”) this year. People from 72 countries attended the festival, making it one of the most international music festivals on Earth. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me.
This festival is definitely on my bucket list if you ask me. This photo featuring the crowd at the main stage at Tomorrowland 2012 has been selected as the Daily Cool Photo on Running Wolf’s Rant for the 1st of September 2012.
Yesterday a photo featuring aKING on stage @ Oppikoppi 2012 Sweet Thing was the Daily Cool Photo on Running Wolf’s Rant, feel free to check it out.

Oppikoppi Sweet Thing might have happened 2 weeks ago already but that doesn’t mean that I’m not suffering from post-Oppikoppi depression. I’m pretty sure that many of you who were there will agree with. It was the 14th time that I’ve made my way to Oppikoppi this year, but I’m pretty sure that this will be yearly thing for me from now on.
On Saturday at this year’s festival Dance You’re On Fire were playing a set on the newly constructed Wesley’s Dome stage. It was the third time that Dance You’re Fire were performing at Oppikoppi. They seem to get better and better every year, if you ask me. A large crowd gathered in front of the stage during their set. I was especially blown away when I heard their song “Michelle” over the massive PA system.
I snapped this photo of the crowd that gathered in front of the stage during Dance You’re On Fire’s set at Oppikoppi 2012 Sweet Thing and it has been selected as the Daily Cool Photo on Running Wolf’s Rant for the 23rd of August 2012.
