Dreamstate Music Festival Reviews
Dreamstate is among the most beloved EDM festivals, and it’s not hard to see why. Here are a few Dreamstate reviews:
“While Insomniac has held other events at The Queen Mary waterfront, Dreamstate was the perfect fit. The ship and festival grounds were lit up enchantingly and complimented the euphoric genre that is trance, creating a wonderland wherever Dreamers wandered. Edmtrain rates Dreamstate SoCal 2023 as stellar.”
Jessica Gail on Edmtrain.
“There is nothing like a night out in Seattle, Portland or even up in Canada. But to my surprise, just for a little while, with Seattle Trance Family all around me, in San Bernardino, CA… it felt like home.
Kiera Thompson on Dance Music NW.
So thank you Insomniac, for giving me the best weekend I could have asked for as my first Insomniac Adventure. Dreamstate SoCal 2017 was like a walk through a dream.”
It seems everyone enjoys the festival, but some things could improve. You should be wary of pickpockets.
“I really enjoyed it. Such a great vibe. The organized pickpockets are one of the few issues I’m aware of.”
Juoaza on Reddit.
