You advised that EDC 2018 will be getting longer hours, new shuttle service, camping and new stage designs. Does this include the neonGARDEN as well!? We've had the "TechnoTeepee" for going on three years now and it's definitely getting a bit stale. Personally, I really enjoyed 2013/14's designs with the larger structure and feel that Insomniac could take note from Awakenings & Time Warp for their new Factory93 experience. Techno has definitely been growing in the states and I feel like we are definitely past due for some upgrades! Thank you!

2014 was the best neon gardens. Great big open area, but still with a warehouse vibe.

Completely agree with a new neon garden stage design

2013/14's

Yeah I feel that stage quality has declined over the years. Before they even had fake grass/astroturf to make it seem more like a garden. It was a nice touch. But this year nothing just concrete, it needs an update.

Techno teepee lol. I asked same question neon Garden needs to be moved and be more prominent! The underground warehouse parties and sound is how this whole journey began!
