Electric Zoo Festival Returns for Second Year

Last year’s Electric Zoo Festival proved successful enough to warrant a second go-around.

This year’s festival and line-up look to be no less thrilling with headliners, The Chemical Brothers and Armin van Buuren both supporting new artist albums. No less thrilling will be sets from Paul van Dyk and Moby (DJ Set) as well as inaugural year graduates Kaskade and Benny Benassi.

We can also look forward to sets from Diplo and his group Major Lazer, Flying Lotus and many, many more.
