10. Line Up Diversity

The diversity of the lineup was extraordinary. Whether you were into Drum and Bass, Trance, Dubstep, House or Bass Music Imagine Festival had something to offer for every EDM-lover. In the same day patrons were able to catch the UK Legends Ivy Lab and then hop over to Green Velvet, Walker & Royce, ZHU or Liquid Stranger. No matter your music preference, you were sure to find something that will get you grooving.

7. Splash Pool By Day, Water Projections By Night

The Imagine Festival Splash Pool was the perfect place to cool off during the day. They hosted interactive games which allowed patrons to let loose, keep cool and meet new friends. However, it was at night that the pool really came to life with breathtaking water projections from Hermetic Productions.

6. Imaginary Friends To Keep You Safe 

Staying hydrated is a very important element to staying safe at music festivals. All weekend, Imagine Festival had a group of roaming volunteers passing out free water to patrons in need.

5. Local ATL Representation

Imagine Festival has always been known to highlight the best local and regional artists in the Southeast. Providing artists a massive platform to showcase their talents alongside the best EDM artists in the world. The Shipwreck and The 6 Feathers Stage were among the many places you could find local and regional talent showcased all weekend. Artists like Eddie Gold, Midnite Panda, Jax, Ployd, Andy Bruh and Laser Assassins proved that they have what it takes to perform in this massive division.
