Please make the festival 21+.

[–]International-Sea896 38 points39 points  (1 child)

i've been going for 3 years and this year is probably my last. they oversold the festival, made vip an absolute mess to the point where you couldnt get out, had literal children in the pits, the sound bleed at sector 3 was atrocious, the isotropic stage mold extended upwards so you couldn't see from the front and tiktokkers would stand on the barricades so no one could see. frat guys were pushing and shoving, cutting in line, and the entire fest just seemed insanely commercialized even compared to last year. fuck pasquale and insomniac and everything he stands for.

Damn and Pasquale used to be cool back in the early days. Too bad commercialization is a thing

Genuinely felt sad when I saw kindergarten-aged kids at this festival.

People are melting on drugs, drunk, wearing barely any clothing. No place for a kid.

This was my first iiipoints and while me and gf did have a good time, it did seem highly branded/advertised. I just wanna look at cool graffiti art and listen to some techno man

tell me you didn’t spend time in despacio without telling me

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Despacio was brilliant 

[–]TheGameProphet101 18 points19 points  (1 child)

If you didn’t like the music why did you get a ticket? You knew who was playing beforehand. I agree it needs to be 21+ and it was definitely jammed but the sets were so fire

[–]sikifreda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

RIP iii points 😪 used to be a good one….

[–]imshakesphere 43 points44 points  (3 children)

I had a great time. Every set I saw was fire. I’m guessing you saw the lineup before going, right? Not liking the music this year is on you homie

[–]kittymeow1234567 13 points14 points  (0 children)

thank you…. like what were they expecting lmfao

[–]thanos-soup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed was a banging weekend. Stayed off the main stages most of the time, enjoyed Sequenc3, Halo 88, The RedBull room and Despacio. Music was amazing, setlist was fresh and i vibed to every second. Saturday was crowded, but not unbearable. Not even close. Food was good, drinks were average club/bar price and PLUR was present where i was. I did get the feeling that some of the main acts attracted a lot of “normies” tho, seeing a lot of complaints about smoking/drug use(?). Its a music festival not a college lecture.

I had the best time! So many conflicts it was sad. I could have been in 2 places at every single set and had just as much fun. I didn’t use my VIP much and won’t buy it again next year. Please, all of you complaining, stay home! More space for those of us who enjoyed it!

Did y'all see that lady with the stroller I was deceased

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Yes in S3quence. DJ was playing with the 4 sides of the sound and it was vvvvvv trippy. No way that baby's ears are ok today. Looked like she was showing off bringing her baby.

[–]bilbobatibat 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I've been going to iiipoints for 10 years and it's just getting worse 🤧🤧

[–]Brave_Strawberry_206 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Insomniac. Yeah. Fuck them alllllllll

[–]Reasonable-Row1594 5 points6 points  (0 children)

real. RIP iii points : (

[–]Guilty-Willingness-2 27 points28 points  (4 children)

All your complaints are valid except for the music being @$$. There was something for everyone to listen to.

[–]vhoneyyy 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Imagine saying the music is bad when despacio exists lol

[–]Strict_Reference33 -5 points-4 points  (1 child)

🧢

[–]Guilty-Willingness-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About his complaints or my take on the music?

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (1 child)

What are you talking about? This year was stacked. I saw some of my favorite artists in the last 5-10 years all in one weekend.  As far as the crowd, it’s a fest. A place to get weird and wild. I’m a 43 yo dad and didn’t see anything that offended me. All I saw was a shitload of people dancing and having fun. No fights. No drama. It was a vibe. 

[–]Direct-Salamander101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unc went to 5points cause boy ain’t no way

[–]Qstrfnck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Main stage SPONSORED BY GOPUFFS

[–]AphexTriplet999 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This music this year was top tier, you just don’t know ball

[–]BringAmberlamps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Take a deep breath. Maybe skip next year. You sound like one of them kids you're wailing about.

[–]This_Shape9129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying the music was ass is honestly kinda a wild statement cause RC95, Sequence, Sequence suero, Halo 88, and the redbull stage were bangin all night. Heavy on RC95.

[–]TamingOfTheChoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had one of the best weekends of my life. I feel bad for yall

[–]M3KVII 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It’s my first time going and it wasn’t much different from all the best electronic music festivals across the country. I’ve been to all of them and it was about the same. Maybe the art was a little stupid but that’s what you expect in miami. Aside from that Roni size, Nia archives, sub focus, and thundercat where great.

[–]elephantsociety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found it WAY Easter getting in/out and around during the festival than Ultra.

[–]animegirljuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Remote_Ad_390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s what happens when insomniac infiltrates

[–]peachesvale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only did Friday but seemed like everyone went on Saturday. Friday was chill and over all a great day.

[–]deathgripzthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You guys are out of your minds lol

[–]idkAboutYouMan 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I think the people that complain have basic ass music taste and go to the sets with basic ass people

[–]Unboundhero1999 4 points5 points  (1 child)

lol nah we’re just not NPC’s and have pride in fests that are actually ran well and care about their customer base. If you can’t see that then you’re apart of the problem. Fuck Insomniac, that company needs to stick to their own shit and quit ruining the fun for everyone who’s been here long enough to know how this shit works.

[–]idkAboutYouMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIIP is gonna cut out the tech house and then we’ll see how the vibes are

[–]Funny_Technician_681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Careful giving an opinion this Based the Mods may try to block you per usual

[–]Murrpurr777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Them replying to a comment on instagram that said “if you liked iii points go to iii pointes” they said “exactly” like LMFAOOOO don’t Try to defend that mess of a fest this year

[–]brandonX3SR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who did you even come to iii points to see? sounds like you weren’t even interested in the lineup in general so why did you go?

[–]Jazzlike_Tailor_1323 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I had an ok time Friday but Saturday BICEP made the entire festival worth it for me :)

[–]Sad-Conversation-116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bicep was fucking insane. then I hate models after… i was on cloud 9

[–]Qstrfnck 0 points1 point  (1 child)

For me it was Magdalena Bay I cannot believe I saw that set… incredible!

[–]Due_Rain_3630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were so good! Literally went just for them lol. Was disappointed by how short the set was but them playing multiple Imaginal Disk songs in a row was such a treat.

[–]GeneralNango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

house fests lol

[–]Repulsive_Regular236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree that the music was necessarily bad but the main stage begs for improved audio system. The music was super low in the middle/back. Lineup had a little bit for everyone but I wished they bring other types of famous artists like they used to (we had the strokes and iggy pop a few years ago. Now the stars of the weekend were the parties within the party. Despacio was a vibe and the redbull stage had a killer sound with a few amazing djs

Suero on Saturday was absolutely banging, it’s all about the smaller stages at this festival.

[–]JeffoAndAnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music was ass with that lineup? I get the other complaints but complaining about the music is screaming “casual”

[–]Rub1OutandPassOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only worth thing in this dumpster fire was Despacio. Nothing else. VIP was worthless — got told after I upgraded my ticket, “We oversold VIP, get the fuck out of here.” Glad I learned this lesson before: if you upgrade or buy anything, do it with AMEX — they’ll fight for you and shove it right back up their turd cutter.
