Thanks :)

Alan Walker or Two Friends full set

Anyone got video or audio of either of these full sets? They were magical and I need a boost.

Presale Tickets

Heard from another group that people were having trouble accessing the presale tickets. I didn't look at all the prices for each but I do know GA prices went up. At checkout ticket came out to be $303 or so. They even included parking which was around $180 (can't remember exact price)

I'm not here to complain about how the price went up. Honestly with the production level this yr and it's the 15yr anniversary I just know it'll be even better. In comparison to Arc the production value was honestly laughable. I went to both this yr and it was a completely different world. Artist at Arc did not miss. Just the sound quality was pretty bad an for us dancing all day there wasn't even a place to rest up.

Full sending NC next yr. Got my ticket. Wish you all the luck for next yr!

2024 VIP Platinum experience

GA Northcoast 2024 was an awesome experience, but next year I'm looking to turn it up a notch. Can anyone tell me if VIP Platinum was worth the experience/cost in 2024? What I'm really drawn to is the all-you-can-drink; that, to me, is the biggest perk, in my opinion. The food is great, but I tend to not eat at festivals while rolling and drinking. Of course, the other perks sound awesome.

Platinum presale: 2024 price?

Is there anyone who did presale, specifically the payment plan, and got Platinum that could tell me the cost & how much you paid monthly if you did that? I know prices will go up for next year but trying to plan accordingly for next week!

This experience felt life changing in the best way ever.

This was my first festival. And the amount of kindness and joy that was shared with me at ncmf and the amount of love and peace I felt in myself hasn't gone away (yet). I see myself being kinder to people irl now. I compliment strangers more often, I strike up random conversations with all kinds of people and make them smile and I feel like idk it's like something huge lifted off of my shoulders this weekend and I feel refreshed, like better than I've felt in years and I feel more empathetic and in-tune with people, and more confident and secure in myself. I went with two of my best friends and we came out of it feeling much closer and being much more honest with each other. Yeah idk maybe I'm still just off the afterglow of rolling, but it feels like I've seen a vision for the person I could be, always spreading joy and making connections. And no one can take that from me.

First edm festival

Northcoast really is one of the best things thats ever happened to me,I went to dreamstate to just get a taste of the whole edm scene & dreamstate left me with high hopes & northcoast completely blew my mind,from everyone being so friendly helpful to the music selections to just the overall vibe of everything it made me feel like a kid again(I’m 22 fyi) but I met so many new people & left my antisocial shell & just had a great time despite only being able to go for one day hell I even I got sprouted like the entire event just felt so surreal.& after the event the only song I could explain my experience is godspeed by BT but thank you to everyone who made northcoast amazing not just for me but everyone else can’t wait to go again next year.❤️

Robot!

Hey guys! My boyfriend and I own Rebel productions and we were invited to North Coast again this year to perform in the robot suit. There were a total of 5 robots performing from various companies this year! If you got a picture with us, share it! We would love to see them!

G Jones at The Vega

That G Jones set on saturday was absolute bonkers. Just straight up robot noise beep boops over staccato percussion followed by huge glitchy bass drops. I lost my shit every time.

2024 North Coast Recap

This was my first year attending North Coast and I have to say it’s an excellent festival. The crowds were really pleasant and I was reminded of just how beneficial the PLUR culture is for electronic festivals. I also thought about what impact ARC happening on the same weekend had on the crowd sizes. I never once felt like I was body-to-body, and everyone respected the space. The festival is small enough that you can see multiple artists within a short amount of walking time and make meet-up plans more easily. I felt like food prices were fair for the amount that you got - shoutout Quang Noodle and Soul & Smoke. I have no complaints with main stage sound or visual systems, everything sounded and looked great! There’s a lot to improve with this festival though that I think could bring it to an elite tier.

Transport to and from the festival seems to be a headache for everyone. I think adding more shuttle drop-offs (have a bunch that just go to the nearest Orange line stop?), more efficient parking lot (exiting takes a loooong time), and better wifi services for ridesharers (if you don’t have certain cell providers you are screwed).

The chill dome was an amazing experience however the line to get in (esp saturday) was atrocious. I ended up missing a ton of the set J wanted to see inside, and a ton of a set I wanted to see outside due to the EXIT line being so long! NC should increase the number of doors and increase the door size.

Although food prices were fair, drink prices still seem a bit whack. I understand this is the case with all festivals but I still gotta call it out.

Overall, this is one of the better festivals in Chicago for electronic music and I could see myself going again in the future. How was y’all’s experience?

Jewelry Thieves at Slander set on Sunday

I had a group of two clean cut Hispanic men (around 30 years old) and two younger women approach my girlfriend and I during the slander set. They seemed happy and friendly and started dancing with us. It all happened in like 10 seconds. The women group hugged my girlfriend while one guy put his arm around me and the other guy started pounding my chest and kind of leaning into me. They were all cheering and dancing. It got to be a little too much for me so I ripped the one guy’s hand off my chest and in that moment I feel my chain break from my neck. I grabbed the chain quickly, realized it was broken and look up and they are running off in the crowd. They didn’t get it, but they ruined the chain with what looks like tiny pliers. I was wondering if anyone saw this or had a similar experience. It was at the left side of the Vega stage by the barricade maybe 15-20 rows back. Be careful. I will not be wearing a chain again to a show.

Strip Club After Parties?

Anyone hit up the afters at Polekatz? If so what did you think about it? Personally it was pretty fun and an interesting/different environment to have DJ’s play. Would go again.
