A good amount of events last year have led us to believe that LA is weary of dealing with Electronic Music fans in large, concentrated numbers. The board eschewed a possible ban on electronic dance music events in favor of approving or denying them on a case-by-case basis. The unanimous vote applied to most such parties — those with 10,000 or more attendees.
Despite this though, it seems like it’s not the end quite yet. The county’s Board of Supervisors recently ruled in favor of implementing some of the new Electronic Music Task Force’s regulations; they say this specifically:
“Improving security and medical response, ensuring appropriate venue-capacity guidelines and staffing, providing educational and safety messaging, and providing adequate access to hydration.”
Of course, specific venues have the choice to allow said events to happen, and a couple have already voiced their disapproval. For the venues that allow events to happen, this could be the last chance to make things go off without a hitch.
