Ringing In The New Year With OMFG!

New Years Eve is thought for being the final day of the 12 months. It can be identified for being an evening filled with festivities, and superb reveals. For an ideal instance of this, look no additional than LED‘s OMFG. Over the course of three days, San Diego was graced with performances from headlining artists equivalent to Kaskade, Illenium, San Holo, and Porter Robinson.

The Venue

OMFG passed off on the newly topped “Pechanga Arena San Diego”. The Pechanga Arena is situated within the seaside group of Point Loma, in San Diego. The area venue holds a capability of 16,100. Being an indoor area, the venue hosted one large 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 presumably the most effective one but. In years previous, the expertise right here has been affected by each uncomfortable temperatures, and poor acoustics. LED appeared to maintain each of those points in verify because the venue was a cool, attendee-friendly area, with higher than common sound high quality.

If I had been to have one gripe, it could in all probability be having the dancefloor closed off by safety guards midway by way of every evening. This left quite a few followers caught within the stands, being pressured to look at the present from afar. I suppose that is what occurs when you may have a bought 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 bought out virtually immediately. In the tip, all three days bought out, leaving hopefuls scrambling to seek 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 evening continued on with Slumberjack taking management, main us right into a Manilla Killa set. The greatest a part of the evening 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 evening.

Day Two

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 obtained there at the beginning of the evening. Said The Sky made certain to carry the feels, which was simply the most effective primer for Illenium. Going ahead, Boombox Cartel introduced the home down, leaving simply sufficient power for the group to lose it to SAYMYNAME.

Day Three/New Years Eve

What was in all probability my favourite evening of 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, however 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 model of bass music, main the way in which for an epic Ekali set. Porter Robinson closed off OMFG, and I used to be truthfully stunned that everybody in attendance nonetheless had power to maintain going. It was straightforward to see majority of the group was there for him, oh Porter.

Highlight Sets

Kaskade is definitely the most effective within the recreation, and the truth that the group obtained to expertise a particular two-hour set is superb. A real DJ in each sense of the phrase, Kaskade introduced his A-game, and saved the vibe going properly into the evening.
