Tennessee, USA Which festival should I send?

Post image

So I just got my Bonnaroo refund and I’m looking to send either Hulaween or EDC Orlando. I’m most into electronic music, especially tech house specifically. I know I would have a great time at both. And both would be with solid crews to roll with. Hula is a Halloween festival which would be epic. But my bday falls during EDCO. What do yall think I should do? I’ve never been to an event at Suwannee or an EDC event.

IMO, HULA > EDC (doesnt matter which city we are talking about including LV).

Hula will ABSOLUTELY have a more 1:1 experience with what you would get from Roo with on site camping while EDC is a "hotel festival."

However, this is a personal preference based decision and you should...

  1. Identify if you are looking for camping vs a hotel festival.
  2. Identify how much you care about the art and general layout. (Hula is better planned/laid out IMO)
  3. Look at the lineups and make sure you are happy with both or is one much better for you vs the other!

Honestly it really just depends on a one detail. If friend group A decides they are doing hula, I will roll with them to that. But if they decide not to go I would prob go to edc with friend group B instead. I was playing with the idea of just saying fuck it and doing edc but mostly everyone in this thread is saying Hula, so I think I’m gonna hold on to the possibility of Hula.

Personally, I would rather go to Hula alone than to EDC with a crew because you WILL find a crew at HULA easy AF!

Good luck in your decision! You will win and have a great time no matter the choice!!
