If trance, psytrance or melodic techno is your thing, this is the weekend to plan around.

Getting there
The Queen Mary Waterfront is at 1126 Queens Highway in Long Beach, at the end of the 710. The Metro A Line ends in downtown Long Beach, and from there it's a rideshare or a long walk over the bridge. Box office and will call hours are 3pm to midnight. Entry has a TSA-style search, so check the bag policy before you go.
Insomniac comes back to the same waterfront for Zombie Apocalypse 2027 in June. For more EDM in Long Beach, see the Long Beach listings and the EDM category page.
