Countdown 2016 Set Times, Festival Map, & More!

Coming out of a holiday weekend, Insomniac has released the set times for Countdown 2016 through the app, available for download on iOS and Android! Start your planning and building your schedule directly on the app, and make the all-too-important decision: Which performer will you choose to bring in your new year? The festival map was also recently released to give you the layout of stages and a few other key locations! Make sure you know where the “Warming Tent” and “Free Water” are located so that you can use your time wisely and still meet your bodily needs. With the release of set times, it’ll also be easier to make a detailed game-plan for when to leave a stage if you find yourself having to split sets.

Countdown 2016 Weather Forecast:

It will definitely be chilly at this event, with a high chance of rain, so make sure to dress warmly and stay dry!


Reminder To Mind Your Belongings

Unfortunately, many people have reported pickpockets, bag slashings, and theft of wallets, smartphones, purses and other valuables this year. While this small number of grinches doesn’t define an entire crowd, there are opportunistic people who come to these events to take advantage of unsuspecting party goers, and it’s important to be mindful of your valuables while at Countdown.

Pay attention to who’s around you and what’s going on around you. Keep your wallet and phone in your front pocket(s) if you can. Treat your phone the same way you would treat cash; don’t set it down on a table or bar and look away. If a friend isn’t standing behind you in a crowd, be careful of your backpack or purse, and don’t put valuables in a pocket that could easily be unzipped by someone behind in a crowded spot without you realizing.

Countdown and festivals, in general, are very densely populated and are a well-known place where pick-pocketing of unsuspecting people occurs. It’s easy to find yourself in a crowded environment in a line, crowd in the festival, elevator, or even out on the street where someone could slip your wallet or phone our of your pocket or bag in a matter of seconds. Stay alert, be careful, and make sure to not carry more than what you need!
