Insomniac Announces 7th Annual Beyond Wonderland
SoCal 2017
For the first time since 2012, Insomniac’s enchanting Beyond Wonderland music festival will finally be returning to the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino for its 7th edition on Friday, March 24 and Saturday, March 25, 2017. The fan-favorite springtime event will transport attendees into the Endless Sea with brand-new stage designs, costumed characters, and inspiring art installations.
“The Insomniac team puts their hearts and souls into creating a unique experience for Beyond Wonderland every year,” said Pasquale Rotella, Founder and CEO of Insomniac. “Our commitment to enhancing the sights and sounds of the festival by bringing new music, art and production elements together is a priority. This year, we come full circle and return to our original home where the first edition began. We'll be taking fans on a themed journey into the Endless Sea of Beyond.”
Beyond Wonderland 2016 hosted more than 65,000 fans at the San Manuel Amphitheater and Grounds in San Bernardino. Fans came together in the decorated festival grounds, while interacting with some cutting-edge artistic creations like the 3D rainbow-lit Star Port archway and the towering wooden Zome structures. Four stages hosted some of dance music's biggest names including Marshmello, Galantis, Alesso, Armand Van Helden, Ferry Corsten, Carnage, Dada Life & Yellow Claw. Festivalgoers enjoyed interactive experiences beyond the performances such as a massive inflatable playground, a giant ball pit and two of Insomniac’s mobile art cars, including the beautiful seafaring Beyond Wench. The 2017 festival returns to the NOS Events Center where Beyond Wonderland first came to life, in a new underwater world of imagination where anything is possible.
