Event Information:
Nocturnal Wonderland, formerly known
as Nocturnal Festival, is a massive
electronic music festival that has
been steadily growing and brings the
biggest names in music and dance to
an audience of up to 50,000 musical
enthusiasts. Nocturnal Wonderland
for the first time in is a
two-day event that occurred in early
September around Labor Day until
2009, when it was changed to occur
on the last Saturday of September.
There are usually 5 stages with a
total of over 60 different artist
playing over the two nights. The
styles of music heard are extremely
vast and vary in range from year to
year. Every year there are artists
from the trance, drum and bass,
break beat, and house genres.
The
first Nocturnal Wonderland was held
in 1995. In its early years,
Insomniac (the production crew
responsible for Nocturnal Festival),
did not have a steady venue for this
event. The location for the
party/event would have to move
around from year to year. One of its
most famous locations was in the
Coachella Valley Indio Polo grounds.
This is the same location where the
now famous Coachella Music Festival
is held. In 2003 (after one year of
Nocturnal Wonderland not being held
because no venue large enough for
the event could be secured),
Nocturnal Wonderland returned to the
National Orange Show, in San
Bernardino, after having first taken
place at that location in 1998. The
Orange Show has been the location of
Nocturnal from 2003 to the present
except for 2007. During 2007, the
event was held in Downtown Los
Angeles.
On
Labor Day Weekend 2010, Insomniac
surprised many fans by introducing
Nocturnal Festival Texas held at
Apache Pass Fairgrounds in Rockdale,
Texas, just outside of Austin. This
event became not only the first
Nocturnal Festival outside of
California, but also the first
multi-day Nocturnal being held on
September 4 and 5. Insomniac would
further surprise fans by announcing
Nocturnal Festival California will
be two days as well in , as well
as a return to the name Nocturnal
Wonderland. Other similar festivals
in the Southern California area
include Together As One (Produced in
conjunction with Go Ventures),
Monster Massive (A Go Ventures
Production), Beyond Wonderland, and
Electric Daisy Carnival.
