What is normally a barren parking lot outside the Oakland Coliseum was turned into a magical wonderland by Insomniac Events this past weekend when Beyond Wonderland came to the bay area for the first time. Insomniac, which is well known for their fantastic theatrics, did an incredible job with keeping the Alice in Wonderland theme. Each DJ’s individual light shows were on par, however the enormous light-up Ferris wheel was a real surprise. Likewise, the go-go dancers dressed as the “queen’s henchmen” were a nice addition. There were three distinct stages for the event- The Queens Domain, The Madhatter’s Castle (both of which played the conventional house/electro/ trance), and The Caterpillar’s Garden which played more dubstep, drum n’ bass, trap etc. The Queen’s domain and Madhatter’s castle were considered the “main stages,” and were under two very large tents. The Caterpillar’s garden on the other hand was very elevated and had no cover tent. The biggest downside of the tent covers was the somewhat distorted sounds. Being a big fan of electronic, music it was a little disappointing to hear that the songs played didn’t sound as good as they could. Another downside of the event was the quality of the speakers. EDM is best listened to loud, however with these speakers it did not do the songs justice- especially at the front.
