The sixth edition of Electric Zoo 2014 returned to the grassy fields of Randall's Island Park this Labor Day weekend with tens of thousands of dance music fans coming together to celebrate and come to life with music and friends. Although the festivities were cut short by severe weather conditions on the last day, there were countless number of amazing sets, new tracks being debuted, and many new memories being shared.
For the first time ever, Electric Zoo along with social media agency Fame House, partnered with Snapchat and Reddit to pioneer new paradigms for live event coverage with Snapchat's "Our Electric Zoo Story" and Reddit Live feed features bringing the festival experience to fans all around the globe. Check out the hand curated social media postings from fans, artists, and attendees in the highly engaging stream of photo and video content on the Electric Zoo Live feed archived here.
Snapchat pushed the "Our Electric Zoo Story" feature to their global user base in the new 'LIVE' section of the app showcasing all the user generated snaps during the festival. Snapchat also featured three specialized Electric Zoo-branded geofilters only available on-site to festival attendees.
