That web page displays poorly in my browser; videos on top of the list of artists, etc.

But since I already have a ticket, they emailed me the lineup.

[nerdtram]

boysnoize.

[seitron]

The special guest is SKRILLEX (letters rearranged). So no one good

i'm way less impressed than last year's lineup but it's still pretty good

[shiezza]

Ugh how is such a festy whore even considered as a "special guest" he's on every freakin edm lineup

[paulb]

Nice lineup! Felix Cartal!

[tmac]

boys noize playing a stage called groove is pretty funny. yeah he plays techno, but there is nothing groovy about bn

[grannock]

This is like 90% repeats from last year. What a dissapointment.

[garyroyale]

I will see some of you guys there! So far Ezoo's line up has me more excited then EDC.

[grannock]

Im going to be there regardless of lineup, i just wish it had 1 name that excited me.

[paulb]

Sasha, Gesaffelstein, Felix Cartal, Boys Noize, CVS. Sounds like a blast. Wish I could go.

Nicky Rommero!

Koze, Dixon, Maya Jane Coles....
somebody needs to educate themselves.

[Riggins33]

I aint going to this, I don't even live in New York.

I aint going to this, I don't even live in New York.

for EDM fans in the city, though, this is really the best thing available. Unlike Camp Bisco, you don't have to haul your ass upstate and camp; unlike EDC/New Jersey, it didn't sell out in ten minutes.

I had just moved to the city when Electric Zoo was happening last year, but I was busy moving in, unpacking, sprucing the place up, etc; running off to party and leaving the task to my husband would have been super lame. But I remember standing outside the target/costco complex in harlem listening to the thumping across the river and insisting to myself that i'd go this year.

Underground artist that get a 2 pm timeslot don't excite me. Id rather see them elsewhere when people are ready to throw down. Last year I was really excited for Plastikman and they fucked up his lights or something.

Like I said, I'm going to be there. I hope something fantastic get pulled for round 2.

Gotta say, Bisco is a better time if you like a real festival vibe.

[Bleezie]

I'll be in NJ visiting friends the week prior to EZ so I think were going to stay and go to this. There are some acts on here that I haven't seen and are not on EDC's lineup. Hopefully there are some better adds though.

[aphrael]

Gotta say, Bisco is a better time if you like a real festival vibe.

I believe that - if nothing else, camping makes it an away-from-normal-life experience that enhances everything - but (a) going away in July isn't going to happen, and (b) really, getting there would be a PITA.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Underwhelming. We'll see how it turns out in I have faith in their programming after last year, but all the names on this lineup scream safe, including the deathless hype cycle of bookings for MJC

[SoulDischarge]

So the same as every year. One solid stage and otherwise a ton of shit.

It's Grove knucklehead. You're right, he's nothing like a grove at all.

You should be throwing down regardless. I get the whole "feeding off others vibe" thing but it usually only takes one person to get it going. The DJ's appreciate this. Also, I hope you caught Hawtin's set anyway because that was up there with his Plastikman show in my opinion. Dark, sparse, and mind-bending.

So the same as every year. One solid stage and otherwise a ton of shit.

I'm looking forward to the next phase. At least last year, I had Digweed, Moby, Tiga, Boys Noize, High Contrast, and a few others out side of the Sunday School Grove that helped fill it out for me. This year it's only Andy C so far.

Electric Zoo 2010 and 2011 were exceedingly well-organized, they did a great job recognizing the distinctly different crowds the artists booked draw and so had above-average crowds for times you wouldn't expect, and at least one totally unexpected surprise set blow in from out of nowhere and knock you off your knees. I have faith they'll be making some serious bookings for the future additions.

And I did my part requesting Underworld ten times every time they sent out artist request surveys

Jesus electric music has been fucked up this year.

[grannock]

This lineup is terrible i may not

[Spooks]

Little discount for those that haven't bought tickets...

[Mugwog]

That does not seem like a good sign if they are having living social deals to sell tickets... $10-$15 on merch? I don't think you can even get a shirt for that much...

Well EDC NY had no problem selling out MetLife Stadium for this weekend and I think this line up is better than that one. Who knows...I wanted to go last year for Plastikman alone but we all know what happened
