My rating for the festival: 7 out of 10. The combination of nature and music was amazing, and for a techno festival the talent booked was diverse and deep.

Event rating: 8/10.

Creamfields Festival Florianopolis 2014
My rating for the festival: 2 out of 10. I think calling it a “festival” is a bit of an exaggeration, at best it is a large club event… It definitely does not live up to the Creamfields name. The lineup was mediocre, all in all I am “meh” about it As some of you […]
