If you tell me there are over 150 craft beers and wine, I’m already there. Add in that there will be barbeque, Aerosmith, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Yeasayer and more, I will definitely be there. A perfect summer backyard barbeque with a couple hundred of your new closest friends. Tickets sold exclusively through LivingSocial.

“This is the summer backyard party to end all backyard parties,” said LivingSocial CEO Tim O’Shaughnessy. “When the weather gets hot, Americans have always gathered with friends in their yards to listen to great music, eat great food, share cold beers, and create lifelong memories. LivingSocial’s Backyard Festival will propel that beloved summer ritual to the next level with legendary bands, world-class cuisine, top-shelf wine and beer, and games for all ages.”

The festival represents all genres of electronic music, bringing top international DJs and live acts from multiple countries along with hometown favorites to four stages. Time Out New York cited Electric Zoo as the festival that “transforms Randall’s Island into an Ibiza on the East River every Labor Day”, and EDM Lounge called it the “can’t miss festival of 2012.”

Starting in 2009, 26,000 people passed through the festival’s gates to see artists including Armin Van Burren, DeadMau5, and David Guetta. In 2011, Electric Zoo expanded to a 3-day festival and hosted 85,000 attendees. Electric Zoo has received coveted International Dance Music Award nominations in 2010, 2011, and 2012 for “Best Music Event”.
