Festival Wishlist: 5 Dance Music Festivals Awaiting Our Return
1. Nocturnal Wonderland Not only does Nocturnal Wonderland claim to be the longest-running electronic festival in America, but it’s also home to an ingenious venue and camping section. Each year, Nocturnal Wonderland is known for its intimacy and huge headliners. The grounds are filled with blacklight art, neon signs, and dancers galore.

An RV is the perfect way to camp here—it’s close to what Insomniac calls “Camp OG.” This is a section of the campground filled with old-school ravers who have been devoted fans since the festival’s inception in 1995.

Tchami Brings the House With Sunrise Set Atop Miami’s One Thousand Museum
Even though we get closer to live music by the day, livestreams have served to keep dance music fans sane during the concert drought. One of the latest artists to deliver a new set for the bored masses is Tchami. Unlike many sets you’ve seen in the past couple of months, his Insomniac-powered performance was recorded on the helipad of the gigantic One Thousand Museum condominium in Miami. Thankfully he’s not afraid of heights as the helipad sits on top of one of the tallest buildings in the city. From his 707-foot vantage point, the video shows a side of the city rooted in the history of dance music that few may have ever seen. Combined with his energetic sound, the scenic mix is perfect for a wild night in lockdown or a much-needed jolt in the morning. Tchami packed ...
