NYC's biggest Labor Day Weekend party took place in the 6th Boro, where fans danced to some of the world's biggest artists across five never-before-seen stunning stages reflecting zoo and NYC themes (an elephant, aquarium and 6th Boro subway stop) with breathtaking light shows and spectacular pyrotechnics, interactive installations and art, 30+ New York's best food vendors and much more. New friends and magical memories were created in this utopian dance-tropolis under the lights of the New York City skyline.

Attendees were also treated to curated stages by European nightlife brands Awakenings and the 'Bollywood' themed elrow (for their only North American festival appearance) as well as artists Jauz and Dada Life, who used ELECTRIC ZOO to catapult their respective brands, Off The Deep End and Dada Life Compound, into the festival space. In all, almost 100 DJs performed over the weekend.

ELECTRIC ZOO: THE 6th BORO-an homage to NYC, the Greatest City In The World-proved to be the most successful Electric Zoo since 2014 when LiveStyle (previously SFX) added the festival and its parent company Made Event to its portfolio. The brand has enjoyed two years of sustained growth and is proof that electronic music is alive and well in the Greater New York Metropolitan area.

Look for ELECTRIC ZOO to return in 2018 to celebrate its 10-year anniversary.
