Will Clark’s performance was another highlight that took the weekend to new heights. His deep, bass-heavy voice was the perfect blend of darkness and dance music, with each drop more powerful than the last. Clark commanded the stage and turned the Pyramid Stage at Hart Plaza into an immersive sound experience that kept the crowd dancing and the atmosphere going. His performance was one of those magical moments where time seemed to stand still and the only thing that mattered was the music.

DanceSafe: Staying Alive

Amid the electrifying beats and ecstatic energy, it was great to see DanceSafe on hand to provide a safe space for festival goers. Their booth was a hub for education and support, offering harm reduction resources, drug testing kits, and information on safe partying. They also had plenty of water, earplugs, and other essentials to keep everyone feeling good while enjoying the music responsibly.
