A big shoutout to Hannah Gibbons, Special Events Coordinator for MPT for arranging a wonderful tour…read morefor my women's philanthropic group. Hannah worked with me for months on the details of the tour and did not disappoint when the day finally arrived for about 15 of us to tour the station. The digital sign in the lobby even had a welcome message with our chapter name and number on it. So welcoming! Hannah showed us everything from the control booths to the special lighting and robotic cameras, to the telethon stage/phones, to the new special events/concert stage area. We learned the history of MPT, how it's broadcast throughout the state of Maryland, what shows are locally produced, and about some special events and ways to support public broadcasting. The station is really cool and I highly recommend taking a tour.

I'll preface this by saying I have not been to a ton of EDM events outside of the DMV -- mainly…read moreEcho Stage on occasion, Project GLOW, and Moonrise twice (once in 2019 and this year 2022). I've been lucky and gone 2 years where it did not get overshadowed by rain storms. That seems to have been a problem for moonrise most years and I've heard it is a muddy mess. For me, just a little dust on my shoes. Now to the main points of the review: PROs: - The lineups are VERY strong (regardless of year) - It is relatively inexpensive (starting only $130 for the 2-day GA pass) - Insomniac just got the rights to host this festival, so the overall production quality of stages has gone up several notches. They have improved the overall organization and layout from previous years too. - New stages sound quality, visuals, and even pyrotechnics have been improved from previous years - I particularly liked that then festival opened in the afternoon at 1pm and ended around 11pm -- giving me more time to get there, pregame in the lot, and get home before its too late - Good spots and cool props for memorable pictures - The racetrack is enclosed from the surrounding area and maintains the festival atmosphere CONs: - The location in Pimlico Baltimore is very rough, and gives a general sense of unsafety due to the condition of the town. Once you're inside you can mostly forget about it, but it definitely leaves a bad taste in your mouth on the way in. - The festival is on a race track and not a huge one, some of the stages bleed sound over into the others unless you get close enough (which can be difficult when the crowds are big). It's not THAT bad but it happens. - The race track is quite dusty, and if it rains, get ready for mud. EVERYWHERE - The don jons are pretty gross, and the water/paper towels ran out pretty quick. Considering how many people are using them, it's really not as bad as other places I've been. - Insomniac decided to make the solar tent (which is generally for harder style music) more enclosed than previous years, this made it pretty unbearably hot unless you were going shirtless. - You cannot leave to your car during the middle of the festival, everything you need must be brought with you in a bag and those items will be limited - The gate security is hit or miss. Some will barely check you while others will pat you down ferociously. If they do, they will confiscate a lot of items especially if you plan to bring substances. Some suggestions: - Go with a group and split VIP parking, the lot is much less crowded and easier to get in/out of. - Check the weather, and bring some way to cool yourself (like a fan) - Food/Drinks are very expensive, eat well and pregame before going in - I can't speak for other parts of the country, but Pimlico Baltimore is a very rough area -- be on high alert for your possessions. My phone disappeared from my pocket during a moshpit (solar tent) and was subsequently stolen by someone. I can't say if I was pickpocketed or not, but it was turned off after the festival ended for the night and was last seen on GPS down the street from the race track. It is very likely that the local security staff found it and kept it for themselves to make a quick buck. Given all this, and even my phone being stolen, I still had a great time with my friends and walked away with a positive experience at moonrise. Would recommend to try at least once!

I've been going to Moonrise as VIP/Artists Guest for several years. I definitely noticed a change…read morethis year since Pasquale Rotella acquired a majority stake in Moonrise last year. Attendance was mediocre this year and they only had three stages instead of four but added the fourth stage last minute to showcase locals and up and coming artists. I thought this was cool and it gives emerging artists a chance to gain traction - check out Dochat. PLUR seemed to be on its way out here. I saw several rowdy attendees being rude and disrespectful to others. Festival life is not about that. Bring back the PLUR! Security was visible, which I appreciated. The trash though. OMG, pick up after yourselves (PLUR??)...the trash was all over the ground and exploding out of the trash cans. The butts were on point, as usual. So many butts. Tiny butts, big butts, soft butts, hard butts, dimply butts. Kudos to the girls with exaggerated self-confidence. You go, girls! GRiZ was fire. As usual. Favorite totem? BOOF! Heck, yeah!
