The pageant, whereas visually and audibly gorgeous, was not with out some drama.
On Saturday, solely a pair hours earlier than Skrillex’s set, the venue evacuated for a storm. Sadly for this author, I used to be part of the group of people that didn’t camp on the pageant grounds, and was pressured to trek again to the airbnb. For individuals who camped on campus (or have been keen to hike residence and again) the doorways reopened an hour and a half later, simply in time for Skrillex’s set. I’m informed it was one in every of his greatest units of all time, after which was shortly comforted with “however you didn’t miss a lot” as soon as my face gave away how bummed I used to be.
All in all, Parts deserves to be thought-about in excessive esteem alongside different North American heavy hitting music festivals. The crew nonetheless has logistical kinks that should be labored out sooner or later, however they’re rising yearly, and we will’t wait to see what subsequent 12 months has in retailer.
