Get ready for the Minnie Mouse ears and flower crown combos—an EDM music festival is in the works at Disneyland Paris. Disney reportedly confirmed the news to Digital Spy, which reports that this will be Disney's first music festival. There is also plenty more information on a new website and Instagram page for the festival, which is called Electroland.
Electroland is scheduled for July 8, 2017, from 7:00 p.m. until 11:30 p.m., when the park will otherwise be closed to those who did not buy Electroland tickets. The huge concert claims to be "where music meets magic," and it will be staged near the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in the Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris. "It's time to share unforgettable moments around electro music, festivals and attractions with the presence of world-famous DJs," according to a translation on the website. The lineup will include electronic musician Steve Aoki, Grammy-winning Australian EDM duo Nervo, French DJ Michael Calfan, and French contemporary artist Richard Orlinski. Several attractions, restaurants, bars, and shops at the park will be open to Electroland attendees. See more photos here.
To some, electronic music festivals and illegal substances have a strong association, but Disney company seems to be on a mission to change that. On its list of banned items: "Any illegal drugs or substances" come in at No. 2 (after fireworks, weapons, and other dangerous objects). Other festival-like forbidden objects include professional cameras, skateboards, and your own food and beverage. Another music festival mainstay, camping, is also off the table—Electroland encourages attendees to book a room at Disneyland, of course. Smoking (in designated areas) and drinking will be allowed.
Tickets are on sale on the website, with prices ranging from 68 euros (about $74 U.S.) to 85 euros (about $92 U.S.). Check out a few photos and graphics from Electroland's Instagram, below.
