VELD – Day 2 – Bassnectar, Avicii, Nicky Romero

Veld seemed aptly named, as the sprawling Downsview park does somewhat resemble the type of vast South African fields of the festivals’ namesake. It’s also the name of Deadmau5’s most recent single, and he just happened to be headlining the festival, so it made even more sense.

Since I was at HardFest on Saturday, I was only able to make it to Veld for Day 2 to catch house heads like Nicky Romero and Avicii ,along with North America’s recently anointed ambassador of dubstep, Lorin Ashton aka Bassnectar in the main stage. Trancey space lords Cosmic Gate and Gareth Emory took over a covered tent that brought out the old school rave vibe that should accompany any Trance show.

Here’s a bit of what you missed. If you don’t care for neon, feel free to skip out on this one ;)
