Electric Zoo 2019 Set Times, Festival Maps, & Essential Info

Prepare for your epic Electric Zoo weekend by reviewing the set times, cashless info, codes of conduct, and other essential info!

We’re just days away from setting foot on Randall’s Island for another exciting edition of Electric Zoo, the Evolved Edition! As you download the Electric Zoo app to prep your lineup for each day, look over our top picks to see if any new artists catch your eye. Additionally, be sure to keep monitoring New York weather reports. Over the last several years, Electric Zoo has experienced some challenges from rain and thunderstorms.

It may sound silly, but don’t forget your wristband! Time and time again, many of out-of-town or out-of-state festival-goers forget to pack theirs, so make sure to pack your wristband if you are traveling to the event. As Electric Zoo is a cashless festival, remember to register your wristbands and add EZoo bucks (the cashless currency of Electric Zoo) to your wristband.

The full Electric Zoo experience doesn’t stop once the festival shuts down. There are a plethora of after-parties and events to keep the party going well past 11! Make sure to check out our Electric Zoo after-party post and snag any additional tickets you may need.

Be sure to scroll down for additional information such as prohibited items, transportation tips, and acceptable forms of identification. Labor Day Weekend is just around the corner, and I can’t wait to see you at the Zoo!

Mind Your Belongings & Prepare for Weather

Unfortunately, many people have reported pickpockets, bag slashings, and theft of wallets, smartphones, purses and other valuables during this festival season. While this small number of bad apples in the bunch 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 Electric Zoo.

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.

Weather reports are showing a possibility of rain coming to Electric Zoo. Please pack and dress accordingly. Electric Zoo is a rain or shine event. The rain or shine policy is subject to safety requirements and would never put you in harm’s way in cases of dangerous weather.
