If you’re a festival junkie, you likely already know about all the most popular spots to hear your favorite artists. Everyone knows about Coachella, EDC, and Ultra, but some extra special EDM festivals that might have slipped under your radar. Whether you’re looking for a long camping festival in an enchanted forest or a one-day event in the most unlikely area of Oakland, CA, we’ve got you covered. Get your rave gear ready, and let’s get into three amazing EDM festivals you need to experience.
Second Sky Festival in Oakland, CA
The first festival is Porter Robinson’s Second Sky Festival in Oakland, CA. This is a one-day festival featuring unique artists from all over the world. In previous years, we’ve seen artists like Madeon, Skrillex, G Jones, Magdalena Bay, and Cashmere Cat perform there alongside a performance from Porter Robinson himself each year. The event houses several custom sculptures featuring Robinson’s mascot character, DJ Potaro, and food stylized like the character. It’s a colorful, wholesome experience that’s unexpectedly clean and positive for an EDM festival.
