Beyond Wonderland's accepting & unifying rave culture is needed more than ever

It's always a blast going down the rabbit hole at Beyond Wonderland SoCal!

There's so many things to love and appreciate while attending an Insomniac music festival. From the gorgeous art, electrifying beats, and sickening outfits, there is truly something for everyone.

However, the thing that really makes an Insomniac event stand out more than any other concert is the vibrant rave community. With so much turmoil happening politically in the United States, the main motto of PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity and Respect) is needed more ever.

Right now, the world feels extremely divided and it can feel very isolating and scary, especially for the LGBTQ+ community. While a music festival may just look like a huge party, there's so much more to see and experience besides the upbeat DJ sets and immersive activities.

The one word I'd use to encapsulate an Insomniac event? Love. Whether if it's at a headlining set at the biggest stage on the grounds or just eating some delicious food in a common area, the love is felt in every space you can venture off to.

All it takes to make a friend for life is a simple compliment or a well-timed head bang to a beat drop that's just too good to not dance to. There's no better feeling than connecting with a fellow music lover who feels like a friend you've known your entire life.

For me, my rave family has become my chosen family and these memorable festivals serve as the glue that brings us all together. Three years ago, a couple of my friends brought me to my first EDC and I've been a rave head ever since. I've now had the pleasure of introducing the world of Insomniac to many of my friends and my chosen family has grown exponentially since then.

Don't miss out on your opportunity to meet friends who'll become family at an upcoming Insomniac event. Check out all of the exciting festivals coming up this year! You won't regret it.
