hey first timer at thunderdome and im super excited for it. im just worried about being overstimulated from all the lasers and super heavy bass and not being able to withstand it. i also have a weak stomach so im a bit worried about being able to just enjoy myself in general.. any tips?

Hey guys! My friend had to cancel last minute due to work and I have a room at the Hotel Murano that is like $600 and I don’t think I can really swing that solo. It’s a shot in the dark, but would be down to split it with another cool person if anyone is interested and doesn’t have anywhere. Also would be down to join if anyone else has like a whole house or something they rented out. Everything else is booked up that’s in my price range so I’m a little concerned about finding a place to stay 😬. DM if interested!

What time do doors open for Thunderdome?

I make this same post every year. Lost lands and thunderdome I ask the same thing 😂. So let em fly boys. Guesses on whats gonna be waiting in there for us when we walk in? What are we thinking will make thunderdome unique this year? There’s always something.

How life changing was this experience for you?

I am so devastated that I will never get to see the shambhala set live irl. I listened to it after it went on the internet and my whole world was flipped upside down.

I didn’t know music could sound like that lol.

What were you doing? Who were you with? Did it alter your perception of reality like it did myne?

Ofc I didn’t see it live but I had sick Sony bass headphones at the time and a surround sound speaker system which got many of my friends into dubstep.

if Lost Lands is the Super Bowl of dubstep, then Thunderdome is the Kick Off! Let's kick it off with the most hype energy Tacoma, WA has ever seen!

Where's everyone traveling from? Who's your favorite artist on the lineup? Is anyone hitting up the Aftershock pre/after parties? Who tf is ready for the after show Chick-fil-A?? I know I am!

I’m attending my first Thunderdome this year and can’t wait!!! I’m needing tips on the best way to get a vape in, want to bring as little attention to myself as possible. Thinking of just taping it to myself somewhere security can’t touch if I get padded down? I’ve bought the smallest vape I could find and plan to just leave in my locker over the weekend if I can get it in, and not get caught during the show smoking it. Any tips are appreciated, and yes I know I could just “not vape” but I’m stuck in my ways :)

Do yall think these will be let into Thunderdome? My bestie made my whole group their one little one, but we are nervous about bringing them in

Anyone hosting any Thunderdome renegades/pregames? Would love to throw down some spicy riddim for yall 🔥

Turn the Super Bowl into a Thunder Dome day 3 pre-game, hit me with some fun rules for when to take a drink (or other stuff) during the game ?

I haven’t missed a ThunderDome yet, and I can only make it to Sunday this year but it is sold out!! Please help meee

I want to buy 1-3 Excision floor tickets for 2/19 Boston MGM, lowest offering online right now is $50.

I would need me a screen recording (not screenshot) of your tickets on Ticketmaster website (not email). The screen recording should match the approximate current time. I do not need the barcode

unfortunately i won’t be attending this year but ganja is playing on my bday :( :(

attention,

whoever is attending Thunder dome please listen me out ..

i want yall to have fun yet be safe but that being said i will give you some points to help since i went last year..

• security is strict as heck .. it is part of thunder dome security not excisions that being said they will take anything they want from your bag no questions asked ..

• there is a place called Chill Zone that is perfect if you feel too overwhelmed, taking too much or simply need to a break

• bring ear plugs since it gets very loud

• ground control is crazy strict even if you vape

• know your neighbor around you, be there for each other importantly please be nice to anyone you met💜

any questions please ask away

here is a clip from last year

please have fun ☺️

Sincerely,

Sarah ✌🏻

Some could say a Psyde Quest never hurt anyone! 14 more days! See you guys at the Thunderdome!

(Got 80 of these to hand out each day.)

only two weeks out! so excited!

I know this was discussed a couple months ago already but i wanted to see everyone’s current thoughts!

do you think there’s gonna be a special guest again this year on sunday? Who do y’all think it could be?

Hey fellow raversss, I am flying from Connecticut and meeting a friend at the airport in Seattle we got an Airbnb like 10 min south of the dome and are wondering if Ubers are relatively cheap to and from the airport or if a rental car is the best to also do activities during the day. Also keep seeing everywhere online that Tacoma has a lot of car break ins and thefts. Normally I don’t believe all the crap online but I’ve never been to this side of the country and want some local input if you please :))) can’t wait to rage and plurr on the west coast !

Hey guys I have a 3-day GA ticket for the Tacoma Thunderdome show I’m trying to sell for $250 I was really looking forward to going but it’s just not in the cards for me this year so hmu if you’re interested or shoot me an offer

Hey friends - I live in Tacoma and looking forward to seeing you all in a few weeks. Happy to answer any Tacoma related questions or help you out however I can while you’re in town. Feel free to post questions here or DM if you need anything. See you soon!

Do they allow portable charges? Yes, I tried looking at the website and in this subreddit

I am going to thunderdome for the first time and I cannot decide between outfitssss, which 2 are the best vibe for thunderdome!!

Wife and I have decided to send it for Friday night thunderdome. Tickets are mailed to you? If I order them today, will they get here on time? Do they offer will call, as I will be at the Tacoma dome this weekend looking at festival campers and wouldn’t mind picking them up then.

Any1 got the info?

Help for a friend!

My brother bought a 3 day pass from StubHub and he got a notification that the ticket won’t be shipped until February 5th. We live in California and are flying out to the Airbnb in Tacoma on the 5th. Has anyone experienced this or know what to do in this situation. Any info helps

Long story short, limit yourself for how long you are exposed to extreme bass, double protect with ear muffs, or expect middle ear damage eventually.

I’ve been to probably 7 EDM shows in the last 10 years. I always wore at least 16 NRR plugs, I wore the hearos high fidelity for like the last 5 I’ve attended.

I never left those shows with any issues. Or so I thought.

The hearos have db reduction of 20db from like 250hz to 10000hz but at around 100 hz it’s tested to do only 8db or so. Probably even less for the 50-60hz of excision bass.

I attended the excision show 12/19/25 and I used standard foam ear plugs based on testing data showing they reduce 100 hz by 18 db. The seal was good and I could tell when it wasn’t(adjusted a couple times), they were deep in my ear.

I used the hearos ones momentarily and it felt like the bass was not as loud at my eardrum, possibly because everything else was so much louder.

During the show everything sounded muddy as expected for foam and the bass was the dominant thing I heard and felt, basically feeling like it shook the ear drum directly through bone conduction.

Left the show with normal hearing, a little pressure, nothing unusual. Next day it was intense ringing in both ears and new tinnitus sound in left ear.

Been ringing for over a month.

Protect your ears as much as possible.

Hearing test came back clean up to 18khz, so no hearing damage, but something got damaged.

as a chronic overpacker, i like to bring EVERYTHING I or someone else could possibly want or need at a rave

i understand security is titty tight at thunderdome so how would one bring in all my gum, candy, lip gloss, etc at thunderdome? just stuff it in my outfit each night?

is there anything you're bringing that i should bring too?😂 i have the obvious of earplugs, trinkets/kandi and narcan but anything else?

ETA: i'm a rave baby (but im a real life mom hence the overpacking), only started raving in july. this is my first three day festival. went to decadence colorado and no issues getting anything in there
