The Big Room Maximalist
Lasers, fireworks, and a drop that forty thousand people count down to together.
Designed rarity: about 6% of takers
You want the biggest version of the night. EDM took over North American festivals in the early 2010s with a formula of build, silence and drop engineered for a stadium, and records by Swedish House Mafia and Martin Garrix's Animals defined the sound. You land here because you love the moment when a huge crowd does exactly the same thing, you like a plan and a production, and you are happily unembarrassed about loving something big.
You tend to plan your summer around the big festivals, and Ultra Korea, which launched in 2012, has been part of Korean summer ever since. You like knowing the lineup, mapping the set times and getting close to the stage before the headliner. Lasers, fireworks and a countdown that everyone joins are not extras for you, they are the point.
