    Escape has seen better days but overall it can be summed up as the only BIG Halloween rave in Socal. The monopoly on Halloween raves in SoCal means that the experience can be a hit or miss given the long lines, oversold tickets, and crowds in a tiny space. True, you do get mazes with a straight jacket, decent food, lots of art installations, and 4 EDM stages to have a blast. There's so many people that tickets were selling from 2x the price for two days (Looking at scalpers selling $350 like c'mon bruh). Music Vibes: Sorry but music was a mixed bag with a lot of mediocre sets (Excision playing house, Joyryde just bad compared to EDC) and I was like, eh. Some good ones like W&W, Dombresky, as well as Zeds Dead were great sets, though I felt like the sets were good because of the people in it. A lot of people in this have been very good but the bad ones like Joyryde had thieves and pickpockets that ruined the mood. One of my friends had her wallet nearly stripped by some girl and it's very unpleasant having to worry about his here. If you don't want to get stuff stolen, use a fanny pack or spibelt and put your phone there. It's much harder to steal. Stages: Compared to EDC or Hard Summer, NOS is much smaller than both and you can walk from one side to the other in only 5 minutes. My complaint is that the stages are too claustrophobic. The tents feel too hot and enclosed, while the only redeeming stage is the Chopping Block, or the half Cylinder stage. Visually the stages consist of lots of practical effects like lasers, strobe lights, or the face on the stage itself, but it hasn't really changed much from last year. Food: The chicken tenders and fries were good. I'll give them that. Uber: Getting in isn't hard, but getting out is kind of a headache. Note that you'll probably not find any 6 seater Uber's at the pickup spot, while 4 seats could take you anywhere from 15 minutes to a hour to pickup. It's pretty annoying since the pickup spot is almost 20 minutes of walking from escape. Staff: Mixed bag. A friend and I encountered a volunteer that was super nice while others were completely indifferent. Either put volunteers that are passionate to help and don't hire 3rd parties that couldn't give a damn! I saw a lot of staff funneling people through the entrance and no one bothered to open the fences more, leading to overcrowding at the exit. Overall it was okay, but I'll only go if the lineup next year is good.

    Great event! I really liked the set up! There were lights all over the place, high on the trees! The snake heads were pretty cool and warm as they blew out fire up in the sky. There was good music the only thing that I didn't like was that it was soooooo packed! Crazy packed! I went on Saturday which was already sold out and that day they opened up more ticket sales on a sold out day?!?! It was pretty hard to walk around anywhere and the tents were so congested which pretty much was a downer for me and many people. Also the drinks were over priced and I got more ice than anything, so kind of hard to have a good time that way. How about some more drink for my ice next time?

    Amazing performance by Joni sandez y su groupo norteño. Very professional! Timing was perfect. The…read moregroup was very sweet and respectful. Got them for my brother birthday! Pricing is budget friendly.

    So we had Joni Sandez y Su Grupo Norteño perform at my mom's 50th birthday. The grupo was amazing…read moreand Joni was very professional. At the end of their contract he was going to sing Las Mañanitas for my mom but I couldn't find the candles for the cake. He was so considerate and waited for us to make a quick run to the store to buy the candles. All I can say is that you should definitely consider having them for your celebration. They were amazing! Para la fiesta sorpresa de mi mamá estuvo Joni Sandez y Su Grupo Norteño. La música estuvo increíble y Joni fue muy profesional. Al final el iba a cantar Las Mañanitas para mi mamá pero no podía encontrar las velas para el pastel. Joni fue muy considerado con nosotros y nos espero a que fuéramos a la tienda a comprar unas velas. Lo único que puedo decir es que definitivamente los deberían considerar para sus celebraciones. Definitivamente los recomiendo! Also, thank you for letting my dad play the drums with you guys. He had so much fun!! Gracias por dejar a mi papá tocar la batería con ustedes. Le encantó!

    Confié en esta banda después de que me confirmaron que la fecha de mi evento estaba asegurada…read more Incluso les hice seguimiento, y me reafirmaron que todo estaba apartado. Días después, me dijeron que cometieron un error y que la fecha ya no estaba disponible. Esto me dejó buscando reemplazo a última hora. La comunicación fue deficiente y no sentí que asumieran responsabilidad por el inconveniente causado. No los recomendaría a nadie que busque un servicio confiable. Tu evento merece algo mejor. English: I trusted this band after they confirmed my event date was secured. I even followed up, and they reassured me it was reserved. Days later, they told me they made a mistake and the date was no longer available. This left me scrambling to find a replacement at the last minute. Communication was poor, and I didn't feel they took accountability for the inconvenience caused. I would not recommend them to anyone looking for dependable service. Your event deserves better.

    I hired La Aurora for my dad's 70th birthday party this past weekend and I am very glad I did…read more They arrived early to set up and changed into matching outfits afterwards. I contacted them through yelp asking for videos of them playing and they referred me to their website. I appreciated being able to see them play before hiring them. The group plays very well together and brings great energy to the party.
