Aoki performed on the Riverside stage, for an excellent turnout, as part of the Dim Mak 20th anniversary stage, where the logo of his name was eloquently displayed on the top.
Out of all the acts that played on that Riverside stage, Aoki’s set stole the show, and was perhaps one of the highlight performances of the second day of the Electric Zoo festival. His passion for his craft was evident and infectious, and the same holds true for his charisma and hard work. Aoki is one of those artists that truly feels the music that he is making. The entire time at Randall’s Island Park his fans were cheering, clapping along and waving their hands up in the air.
The Verdict
Overall, Steve Aoki’s 75 minute set at Electric Zoo: Wild Island was high-octane and a great deal of fun. He was authentic, unfiltered and gave the fans exactly what they wanted to hear. Aoki had the crowd in the palm of his hand, and they were engaged in his music the entire time. He is worth seeing live whenever he is in town. His live set garnered an A rating.
