Identity Festival 2011 Review

Identity Festival is one of the United States’ first multi-city touring electronic festival. Bringing over 30 of today’s top artists to 19 cities. Matt Rundo caught an early show in Burgettstown, Pittsburgh, PA. The Cobra Snake took on the official duties for photographing Identity Festival nationwide for more of his images go here.

The venue spread across a large grounds area with two main stages featuring all top-notch acts. With artists keen on taking the stage dive to new levels.



Crystal Method rocked out an early set on their interesting platform.

 

Datsik also dropped an early performance that rewarded fans.



The corporate sponsorship was heavy, but welcoming at Identity Fest. On this hot summer day, free refreshments were plentifully provided by a sponsor.



Chuckie played an excellent show to a full crowd at sunset.



DJ Shadow introduced himself before performing. His show featured an amazing sensory overload of video, audio, and mind-bending supplement on-stage. The video displays projected a unique performance expected from Shadow. DJ Shadow toured this summer to promote his first album in five years, The Less You Know The Better.

As the night continued, Rusko entered the main stage to deliver the most energetic performance of the day.



Other artists included: Kaskade, Pretty Lights, Avicii (below who had his 22nd birthday on tour), Steve Aoki, Disco Biscuits, Skrillex, Pete Tong, Booka Shade, Modeselektor, Nero and many more.

 

All reports in are that Identity was not just great success in Burgettstown, PA but nationwide. If you missed this year’s, be sure to expect another tour next US summer.
