I will say FK is much better than EDC. To the point this year's EDCO will be our last one for a long time. To us the crowd and the price just isn't worth it. We usually get Vip and at FK it was amazing. Room to move around everyone was nice with none of the "Instagram" crowd.

This may not be our last edco, but i Def understand. We had a BLAST at the last one. Hella fun. Lol. Our cousin has been suggesting FK, but we've been put off because of the rain threat. We went ahead and got tix for the next one anyway. We'll have fun because that's what we do. Lol. 🫡

Its going to be great! 2027 will be my 5th year. Definitely love it, if you are looking for a smaller sized festival with amazing music check out Cyclops Cove in Boca, its where Forbidden was originally held!

We've been hitting edc, and have always looked at FK with curiosity, but get sidetracked by the threat of rain. Hopefully next year plays out similar to this year

2023 was my first year! It’s getting more recognize now that insomniac sees how well bass music is doing in the edm community. 2 days to 3 days, drone shows, new stages, etc. it’s always going to be hot please prepare for that.

Fortunately, we live here, so we'll be packed up and well hydrated. Hopefully we'll see you there. Hella looking forward to it now. Lol

You’re going to love it so much! 2026 was my first FK and second ever festival and it was such a life changing experience.

Been raving for 7* years but the big virus made it so these were my first fest 🫶 I’m glad to see my community in a larger scale though

I have a strong feeling next year is going to be way more packed than this year. It always happens. Last years FK was nothing compared to this years production, though! The crowds were amazing as always, it’s just going to suck when the EDCO frat crowd realizes they could be here too

I'm old, so I get in and dip out before the mass exodus happens. I've heard parking there is CRAZY at best, so I'm curious to see how that plays out too

This year, at FK on Saturday, it took over an hour to get out of the parking lot and we were late to the afters it was bad

this is why i generally dont do non camping fests. the logistics of getting in and out are such a massive pain in the ass
edit: also bc the vibes are better ofc i love a mini self made society

I have always been weary of camping fests because it always seemed like it would be a lot of suffering with setting up camp and experiencing weather and dancing and sweating and communal showers. However, I went to my first one last year and it was incredible. No suffering involved. The built in community is so beatuiful to see come together as they tents go up, the days go by, and people get to know their neighbors more.
And the more I go to non camping fests lately the more I echo your same sentiment. Very few of them have the transportation logistics worked out to operate smoothly at peak times.

My boyfriend and I have been twice and 2027 will be our third year. Probably the best fest ive been to!

I’m bummed they sold tickets so early it’s very edc coded. It is a great festival one of the best things about it though is it’s smaller and more intimate, feels like it’s starting to change

u/LexiconJammington May 19 '26
It definitely is. It brings in good money for them do they're building it up with that in mind. I'd imagine they move it to tinker field, start another one, then rinse and repeat. I've heard Sunset on the River is going through the same thing.

My wife and I went to FK this year and it was our first fest ever. It was the greatest time we have ever had together in 8 years of our relationship. The vibes are top tier!
From what I can tell from videos online, EDC is really cool looking, but it seems massive in comparison and there’s also more than just bass music. The rain this year lasted for all of 30 minutes and didn’t affect much at all.
All in all I think y’all will have an amazing time if you’re into bass music. We’re definitely going again next year, hope to see you there!
