Electric Zoo, New York’s longest-running and premiere electronic dance music (EDM) festival just wrapped up its 13th edition in Randall’s Island.

It was AI tech-driven with a futuristic 3.0 theme that premiered all-new stages and AI-assisted innovative production. It was well-received by fans, critics, and musicians alike.

Over 100,000 attendees from 50 states and 51 countries flocked to Randall’s Island Park from Friday, September 2nd to Sunday, September 4th. Both Saturday and Sunday drew sold-out crowds.

Standout sets were delivered from over 100 globally-renowned artists including iconc such as Afrojack who “brought a very special set just for Electric Zoo” to breakout stars like Pauline Herr who played her first EZoo on the main stage.

Trance superstar Armin van Buuren described it as one of his favorite places in the globe to play, and rightfully so.

Electric Zoo 3.0 invited all who attended to “plug into the matrix” by transforming the grounds into an AI tech-driven, electronic dance music paradise.

Established in 2009 by Made Event, the internationally renowned Electric Zoo Festival is one of New York City’s largest music festivals and features the top names in electronic music, bringing a wide variety of acts from around the world and across the spectrum of electronic music’s various sub-genres.

International editions of Electric Zoo have taken place in Mexico City, Tokyo, Shanghai, and São Paulo.
