The massive three day festival on Randall’s Island in New York will now include an exclusive Beatport stage featuring heavy-hitters such as Gesaffelstein, Paul Van Dyk, Cosmic Gate, What So Not, and more. The Labor Day weekend event, which took a hard hit due to drug related incidents last year, is
employing tighter security and requiring concert goers to watch a drug safety PSA in order to activate their tickets. Despite this, the festival will likely be a huge success, including seemingly every major artist such as Armin Van Buuren, Nicky Romero, Jack U, Kaskade, Laidback Luke and many more. Beatport will take over what was once the riverside stage for a more intimate setting than mainstage for their selected artists. The partnership between Beatport and Electric Zoo makes sense as Beatport is one of the leading outlets for electronic music downloads. The stage features an all-star lineup that does not necessarily have that “mainstage sound” but will be sure to kill it on this stage. The full Beatport Stage Lineup is below:
