Welcome to Ile Soniq, referred to by my friends as the giant Electro Stage. It’s not so far off from feeling like you’re back at Osheaga either, only it’s a lot less crowded, there are more colourful costume (no clowns so far!), and you will probably save a lot more money. No I don’t mean just on ticket prices, but falling out of your pockets while dancing.
Ile Soniq has implemented the new cashless system and other than waiting in an extra line-up, it’s a great new feature. If you want a drink, or some food- you’re going to have to load up your pass with money from one of the machines or tellers, and then you’re good to go. It will be nice to see this at Osheaga one year, but I can see how problematic it will be without more resources, especially if Osheaga is planning on expanding again.
I think there is something more welcoming about a music festival that is genre-specific. If you’re planning to one of these festivals, you’ve probably checked out the schedule beforehand and come up with a strategy to not miss any of your favourite acts. But you’re somehow always torn between seeing your childhood favourite indie rock band and your the new flavour of the week DJ. At Ile Soniq you are surounded by complimentary vibes all day long, with a sea of people looking to do ride the same wave, all without judgments of staying at one stage too long or questioning why you’re wearing a pikachu costume.
From Flosstradamus dividing the crowd for a giant mosh-pit, to Die Antwoord’s mesmerizingly energetic dancing, or Deadmau5’s stagerring stage set-up, day two will no doubt be full of more notable acts.
Bring on the rain!
