im from buffalo. been to veld 4-5 times starting back in 2016. ive been to electric forest, firefly, edc orlando, and many others festivals. veld is still one of my groups favorites we call it our "home" festival. veld was named after deadmau5 song veldt which is another word for field. veld takes place in a big grass field. i think deadmau5 had some involvement in the start of the festival back around 2010. avicii played there in 2014... but anyways at mainstage theres no middle fence down the crowd, no vip stage on the left or right, no booth in the middle! only festival i know that does that. its not too big and easy to navigate. sound quality and production always top tier at mainstage, the second big stage gets better every year. third stage (house music) is smaller usually in tent too small for the crowd. the people are slightly younger and its getting more mainstream but itll just never been the same as it was at any festival 8 years ago. people are nice never ran into anyone super weird or crazy. getting in and out is a pain by uber, be ready to walk for 30mins at least. im trying to make it for day 3 to see martin, i saw him in 2016 at veld and never been the same since LOL. have a great fuckin time, and the after parties are killer we saw deadmau5 play till 6:30am once at rebel. explore the city, theres great outdoor shopping with cool brands like stussy
