LED'S OMFG NYE 2022 @ Pechanga Arena: Review
We here at San Diego EDM this year for New Year's did our favorite NYE event, OMFG! NYE by LED Presents, and did our newly favorite split by going just NYE (Dec. 31th) and also going to the FNGRS CRRSD Event on New Years Day (Last year it was called "Opening Day").
With one of our member's working their day job that day, we ended up arriving around 10pm for ISOXO. (Who is actually from San Diego but hasn't been seen in the local scene before). The vibes were high as always, everything deeply emotionally entrenched in the traditional OMFG! melodic dubstep melodies. ISOXO very surprisingly brought out Skrillex randomly to everyone's appaluse. Gryffin was also a real emotional ride and had a joyous NYE balldrop with great confetti cannons. Inflatable smiley face balls were thrown out (we miss the zebras though!) as is standard for LED events. But the most emotional roller coaster was finding out RL Grime was not going to make it in time. We here at San Diego EDM started a love for EDM when sneaking out in high school to see RL Grime on his VOID tour, when he destroyed next door venue SOMA with bass way back in 2015. So the CDJ's were handed back over to ISOXO who again brought out the legend Skrillex!
This year the floor was fully separate from GA from the start with tickets being sold as GA, Lower Bowl, & Upper Bowl. In year's past the whole event was GA (year's before that they did have VIP sections also), with in recent year's only closing off the floor once it hit a certain capacity, usually somewhere around 11pm, tragically cutting off friend's who left the floor to buy food.
This was our 4th LED OMFG! NYE, and remains our favorite San Diego EDM event. We wish we had done both days and then CRSSD Proper NYD for a nice 3 days of dancing like we did last year (well it was CRSSD's "Opening Day" NYD event). Planning to do the same split next year.
Rating: 10/10
