Mad Decent Block Party

When you go see a show like this, the most important part in my opinion is the music and the crowd. Both were absolutely lit. Met soo many new people and made unforgettable memories. Can't wait until next year.

Great festival, i go every year and it never disappoints. Diplo was awesome this year.

Most cracking and entertaining edm show I've ever been to major lazor is soo Much fun they know how to get an audience in it the whole time not to Mention how good their set list was It was worth every penny I'd see them again And again.

The festival was ok, it was too many young kids. I know it was an all ages but there was like 12 years old there

This party was sick! You had people partying on the patio at Americas Backyard, an all-day rave inside Revolution, and the block party out front!!! Such good vibes, amazing music, great time. Please keep bringing this tour back, I need this in my life. Missed Flosstradamus (heard they killed it)....but Zeds Dead, Dillon Francis, and DJ Snake were live! And then Diplo came out as a surprise at the end....oh...em...geee. Only way to make this better would be to please move it to a cooler month (July in FL=death) and upgrade the stage and lightshows.

Despite the fact that it was blazing hot and humid as usual in south Florida, the performances were amazing. Flosstradamus killed the crowd with so many trap hits. Dillon Francis and Riff Raff did some work too. The closing act was DJ snake and diplo made a surprise appearance which was all my gf and I really wanted. DJ snake and Diplo shut the place down! I'm definitely making sure to see these guys again, maybe closer next time.

mad mediocre at best... sound quality was terrible and most attendees were under the age of 18... 15-16 if i had to guess.

I can't remember I got shwasted.all I remember was jamming to remedy drop tracks other than the ones I already knew of.

Besides the fact that everyone's day was ruined because of the thunderstorms the entire afternoon, I can definitely say I had the time of my life although I personally feel that this event should of been held in downtown Miami, not downtown Fort Lauderdale. Also was a bit upset to had paid $50 and not see Dillion Francis or Baauer!

8 hours of bass surrounded by other equally happy people. Honestly something everyone should do every once in a while.

Let me preface this by saying all the Mad Decent label artists were fantastic; Kito & Reija Lee, HeRobust, Zed's Dead and especially Major Lazer, their set was incredible and Diplo had the energy of the crowd sky-high! The average rating is due to the venue. Revolution was simply not prepared for an event this size. Entrance lines were upwards of 90 minutes and there was not enough staff to keep the crowds in check. Even if they didn't have enough people some barricades or proper lanes would have helped greatly. Once inside I quickly found myself in another 45 minute line, this time for the restrooms. By my count there was eight for what seemed to be several thousand people, no separate men and women's, it was a total disaster. Aside from that, since it was an outdoor event they staged it in the parking lot and the weather being uncooperative caused several areas to be flooded, but there's not much you can do about that. That aside, the artists rescued the event and I can only hope going forward Revolution is better equipped when handling something of this size.

Me and my friends got there about 2:10 and we see this looooooooooong line that we have to wait in. Floss was supposed to start at 2:30 but started at 2. We ended waiting in the line for two hours and fifteen minutes. Didnt get in untill 4:25. The event was not organized well. We would have waited in the line for three/four hours if we didnt keep cutting the line. We cut the line a bunch of times and it still took us 2 hours+. Half the speakers got blown out as well. There was also a time when a dj stopped playing in the middle of his set for twenty minutes & one song on low volume was repeatedly playing. The long intermissions also ruined the vibe. Zeds dead killed it, major lazer + herobust did good.

Music was good, stage was great, but the line was simply terrible. There should have been a better system of getting people into the venue. Other than that, it was great.

Best event so far this year! Revolution nightclub is the perfect venue and the event was well organized. Kick-ass line-up and left wanting more. Hell yeah - bring us Nicky Da B, and a line-up of other New Orleans Bounce artists. Diplo exposed our community to this music genre and now I want to BOUNCE! Skrillex tore it up and his mix into "Betty Davis Eyes" was sic.

An amazing day with amazing people! Definitely recommend :)

Big Gigantic and Zeds Dead were incredible. That's why I feel as though Riff Raff had to be some sort of weird joke I didn't understand the punchline of. Saw way too many 12 year olds and the event was way oversold. The sound system also was in need of huge help. A lot of crunchy bass. Also it's 6 dollars for a water.

It was the most unorganized crap I have ever went to. We waited in line from 1:30 -4:00 before we got in, missed 3 Dj sets... I payed 50 dollars and missed 3 djs. The line we were in didn't move and was very annoying because we got there before the even even started. Extremely unprofessional and unorganized. Only reason I would go again is if they had an amazing line up. Other than that, I will not attend next year

I got to the venue at 1:30, 30 mins before it started. I ended up waiting in line for 3 hours, completely missing the set from the artist I payed to see. Once I got to the gate the security girl who was supposed to be taking tickets just let everyone in. Meaning I wasted a great deal of money for no reason.

I would defiently go again. I had a lottery fun than I expected and the music was amazing, maybe even better than I expected. Even though it raining when we got there, that did not stop or even dampen the party. I would recommend going again next year.

So over all I gave it a 3 . I hated the fact that it was raining because now I'm sick at home . Rick raff and all the other artists before him sucked !! And alot of girls were dressed like they were at ultra . Other than that it was fun !! Major lazer ROCKED and also ZEDS dead !! Uh I thought all the girls who danced on stage sucked tho :p

The venue was not big enough. It took them three hours to let us in once we got in line (early, I might add). Because of the tardiness of the security, I missed four bands, two of which I wanted to see.

Very poorly organized. Especially for the rain, if you are going to do a block party in the summer in florida you need more tents. waited in line for over 2 hours after getting there before the doors opened. No enough booze station. The event managers kinda redeemed themselves by opening up the inside.

The lines took 4 hours, flosstradamus played at 2 pm for 30 minutes. Payed 50 bucks to get rained on and miss half the show because the lines were so long. Not even ultra took this long.

It took more than 2 hours to get inside the actual event, i missed performers, and there were no baracades to prevent skipping. And the rain didnt help

All of the acts were great! Even though it rained the place became packed and it was an awesome all day event. The only problem was the venue. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. People who ended up paying hundreds of dollars had to wait for the line that took about 2 hours to get in. Poorly staffed by the venue itself but great artists were on display.

Music was pretty good, horrible transition times. The venue was horrile. Waited 2 hours in line in the rain and there was only 2 people taking tickets to an event of this size. Was held in a parking lot so everyone was tripping over parking stops and curbs. Revolution live sucks as a venue. Overall Major Lazer and Zeds Dead were good but I definitely wont be returning to Revolution Live.

Front row was awesome and intense! Longest concert of all time.

Solid lineup. Great production and very solid location impressed with the show!

One of the worst shows I've been to, that will be my last time going to mad decent. Just everything about it was the worst I hate to say it but it was

An amazing afternoon into night. Great sets with quick changeover. The heat was intense but the music distracted me from it.

Concert was amazing!!!! I had so much fun. Not a lot of issues, music was bumping. I'll be back next year!!!

What a hot mess of a festival- first of all you had to take your shoes and socks off to go through security - eww the dirty street! Kesha was the highlight of the day- but security was hosing people with water right in their faces -damaging people's electronic cell phones and cameras.

they had hoses on trying to keep the audience cool, which was nice, HOWEVER they had the hoses on spraying people's faces the entire night. my phone now has water damage and my phone was wrapped in a bandana in my purse, secured. couldn't even take pictures with my phone due to the people spraying people down with hoses. I tried moving to different spots to avoid the hoses but there wasn't any avoiding. I even asked the security if they could do something and they didn't. a little ticked off that I paid $65 just to get sprayed in the face by a hose and have a broken phone.

This show was amazing. All the dj's were great and over all it was a lot of fun. None of my friends are into edm so i ended up going by myself, which I would NOT recommend especially if you're a girl (like myself ) everyone is either on drugs, drunk, or both. Guys were just coming up behind me and starting to dance with me, ( I mean this in the most un-conceited way) Which really sucked because over all I had lot of fun, that was the only annoying thing. So I definitely recommend going, just go with friends!!!!

Diplo was sweet. The rest of the line up (what we made it out into the heat to see) was uneventful. Overall not a great lineup for the Philly, hometown show for Diplo. Also, for the love of God, make these things 21+ already

Awesome diplo was amazing love each and every artist

Dillon Francis, DIPLO, Kesha, SURPRISE DRAKE, so many high lights this weekend! We had a fantastic time!

An unreal experience and I defintley plan on going again next year! loved how there was shade when it got too hot as well as tons of seating! The sets were also killer

I felt safe and energized throughout the MCU event.

I did not expect anything to top last year's line up up this year really blew me away. Overall I will be attending next year's as well. Amazing job as always diplo. to the set list. Dillion Francis is fantastic and zeds ded was mind blowing

Set list was good with a few nobodys who weren't anything special. Headliners (Kesha, Zeds Dead, Dj Snake) were great but wish Kesha was on for longer. Would go again.

Pros: MCU park was the perfect space with its scenic view of the beach and Coney Island Park. The lineup was pretty good and the artists made it fun with their energy. BIG CON: asking us to take our shoes off at Security on a 90 degree day onto hot cement, Seriously? Biggest Con: a lot of people including myself missed Drake since it wasn't announced that there would be a special guest. I dont mean to complain as it was a nice gesture of him even coming out, but Security did ironically ask us on our way out if we were sure we wanted to leave...why not let it be known that someone "special" was there? A good 25% of people who were there since the beginning left after Kesha's performance.

It was definitely a new experience! I love going to music festivals back home in the southwest (New Mexico/Texas) area, and I love the east coast so I had huge expectations, so overall I can say it was average! Aside from weather interruption, I had a good time!

The show was amazing! I would deff be back next year. Mcu Stadium policy took away my $30 liptick. I didnt know that was in the list of items not allowed in, when i asked the security guard at the check in desk, he very rudely responded "you can choose whether you want to go in or not but that liptick is not going in". It made no sence. Aside from that, THANK YOU DIPLO! <3

Do not waste your time and money. Sound was aweful and the djs were playing lackluster sets; they seemed to not care that a large majority was bored. We left early.

One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Will be pre ordering my tickets in April. Everything about this concert was great . Bring lots of water and good shoes .

Ugh! Disappointed. The lineup, (mediocre) The RAIN!!! (Sucked!). Left half way thru diplo. Tory Lanez Killed!!!

Still having withdrawals!! The music is perfectly mixed up between genres and there was enough space for everyone to enjoy themselves! So great!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first time attending the Mad Decent Block party but I truly enjoyed every bit of it.This was an amazing experience.I totally loved the vibe of all the DJ sets and Tory Lanez was well received.I was only able to attend the Saturday party but I wish I had purchased the weekend pass it's a event I highly recommend.The vibe the crowd everything about the party was well worth it.

Love Diplo and Dillon Francis but the venue truly sucked. If they don't change it I don't think it would be worth going.

The venue was nice (been there before) and security was a breeze to get through. Accommodations were fine, food and beer was priced as expected at an arena in nyc. My only complaint is that they closed the main exit and wouldn't open it until the final performer was done, which made no sense. We were instructed to go up the narrow steps all the way around instead of being let out the general exit

I went in 2015 and 2016 and I have got to say it was unforgettable. The people that go are there to just have fun I met some really cool people, danced, and had a great time. Although it sucked when we had to leave due to "weather conditions" it took 20 min for them to let us back in and the party started all over again. Missed some of Alison Wonderland but still got to see her so my night was made.

Upon arriving, ID was required for 16 yr olds. My daughter and her friend were attending and neither have their permits yet. They only had their school IDs with their grades listed. They, along with dozens of other kids, were unable to get in-even with me there with them and tickets already purchased. Everyone treated the ticket holders rudely and even the TicketMaster person who was there yelled that "an email was sent" the day before so I had no excuse that my daughter didn't have a state issued ID. Not sure why they feel the "we sent an email" line would be helpful. Very frustrating. I better be issued a refund.

I advise everyone to go to Mad Decent. It felt like everyone was family. Everyone was dancing and laughing and having a good time which is what block parties/raves should be about. For $50 its a steal compared to Ultra and EDC. Definitely going every year now.

Freaking awesome great people and vibes. Music was on point both on the main stage and sub stage (Indoor).

First of all the venue didn't even allow Camelbak's we had to buy water inside and was super expensive. 2015 the lineup was way better, nobody good came except Keys Dillon and diplo, it was literally a waste of money. I'm guessing they didn't sell enough tickets so they had to make more money by not letting water inside, horrible.

Was a good concert overall. Good DJs. Would Come back next year

This was my first time going to MDBP and it was really amazing. The crowd was just so....helpful and so nice to each other. Of course there was drunk people there, but I saw other people help get those drunk people out of the crowd. Everyone was just having a good time and made sure the people around them did too. I will be going back next year!

Amazing energy in the crowd. One of the best concerts I've ever been to

Honestly. this would've been an A1 event if it was ANYWHERE else. Revoloution is very unprofessional .

It kind of sucked. There were TOO many searches going on. The like to get in was backed up for an hour and a half. It stretched 3 city blocks. It was unreal. The security checkpoint was intense. Cops with dogs, event staff searching everything short of a full cavity search. It really ruined the mood. The even is just getting too big to be fun anymore. It was double the size of last years show. There was nowhere to sit and rest. Not nearly enough porto potties. I felt violated.

If you're looking for great music chill vibes definitely go to mad decent! It wasnt crazy like a mosh or anything, just people coming together being theirselves enjoying good music and having an awesome time. Great music, great drinks great prices great food lots of variety

Took me an hour to an hour and a half to get in MCU park. Friends had told me it was better when it was held in Kent ave in Williamsburg, which I would consider returning to it if it is there. Too much going on being at Coney Island. Of course drink lines were ridiculous and way over priced so better to get all provisions and libations before getting in. And the music choices were three minutes then changed throughout event. These artists have great music catalogs and did not play long enough. Almost as if the block party should become a two day event (at same prices). I got in at about 6 when It began at three after waiting in line at least up to an hour and a half !!! That was the worst of the block party. If ever again held at MCU park or any other concert for that matter I would rather wait for the following year or go to Governors island or wait for Electric Zoo.

I was sitting at first in the bowl seats which are the cheap tickets at the top but then later on people started to hop the gates & rush the gates & security so everyone ran into the field ticketed area, it was unforgettable , & Diplo Was Awesome

First time ever hearing of MDBP but I have to admit that I had a blast. Music was dope, there was a ton of awesome people, food/beverages were worth buying on a muggy hot day as that one. I'm definitely going again next year and I would recommend this to event EDM fans. The only downfall was the all ages, at least set some kind of standard for 18+ or something. -PLUR on / Rage on

If you love beautiful people, positive vibes, and great music. This event is just for you. I only gave it four stars because the venue was a little small but it's nothing to be worried about. I loved it all.

Crazy fun, and highly recommended! Only complaint is that if it's going to allow minors inside they should put a cap on the ages. If it's going to allow individuals under 18 they should at the bare minimum make it a 16+ event... way too many teeny boppers around there

Simply amazing!! Can't wait til next year!! Just got better and better after Flume went on.

I had an amazing time being there for 14 hours long for the mad decent block party and after party was awesome! I got there early so I didn't wait that long in line like other told me, it rained so what, I still had the time of my life! Thanks:)

I was almost front row for more than 4 hours it was crazy, Zeds Dead blew me away and i was a foot away from diplo ! Took almost 2 hours to get in though...

great music nice venue. it rained but still was a great concert

Great experience, even though it rained on us the crowd kept everything going, so much fun!

They let way too many people buy tickets and be let inside. Also the price of food, drinks, and alcohol was INSANE. $12 for a can of bar is unheard of.

It was none stop dancing and head bobbing drops with amazing bass from start to finish.

I've been loyal to mad decent, this was my fourth consecutive year. I usually go to Coney Island since I'm from there, but since they hyped up this year being the 10th anniversary and brought the fun back to philly almost exclusively, I figured why not. First of all, it started at 5, when it usually started at 3 in the past and ended around 11 like usual, so they made this show shorter, while filling it with a boy like Matt Ox. I say boy because he's 11 years old. What were you thinking diplo? Those are my only real gripes, which would have been worse if I paid normal price for the tickets. All in all, it was worth it, but Mad Decent Brooklyn has never disappointed like Philly did.

First thing I noticed was that security was very laxed compared to previous years. That was my biggest complaint in the past. Besides the rain, the show was awesome. The bass sounded really good during the later sets. Overall, the show was better than expected.

I was excited for this event the minute I got tickets! I got there at just about 5 when the event started. The first few acts were forgettable, but from Swizzymack on, the show was amazing! Even when it poured, it was a great show! My only complaint was the addition of Matt Ox, a 12 year old "rapper" who came on after Flosstradamus and before Diplo. He should have been on with the earlier acts as he dampened the already Hype mood of the crowd. Other than that, a great show!

This event was fun so much fun so much music food and friends. The weather was the only thing that made it difficult. Humidity was at an all time high. I spend my entire summer trying to see Diplo, by the time he came out I was drained. I would tell anyone who goes to this all day event to conserve energy.

All the dj's Jaiwolf, Grandtheft, Dillon Francis, Tiesto and Slushii killed it! I can't imagine if they were all giving a actual hr or more for each. It definitely would of made this event 10/10. Even though the line at the Hreek Theater took way too long. Longest line I've been too in all festivals. Also only bad beer is sold here. No cocktails! But overall it was a good event. Because of the performers the crowd (atleast near me) and it wasn't hot. Perfect weather feels since it's an outdoor stadium.

All were awesome! Atmosphere was great! So much fun with friends

The lineup was decent but in the lowest area in front of the stage, the sound, especially the mids and highs, were not loud enough to dominate the talk of the crowd. Only once I walked above the sound guys, up the stairs to the seats, did everything sound a little clearer, though even then it was much less loud than other concerts I've been to. Measured with a calibrated iPhone SPL meter, the sound came in around 86 dB SPL, A -weighted. I understand that the venue probably doesn't want to cause hearing damage since the concert is 6 hours long but most people I know did not stay for nearly the entire 6 hours, and anyway, those worried about it can use earplugs and still feel the bass, if everything was turned up higher.

The only thing i have bad to say is... THE DAMN SOUND!!!! it wasnt loud enough! The greek is my fav place and this is prolly the lowest volume compared to other concerts. Better not be like that next year.

The show was amazing and as always the DJs are all very talented however until the last two headliners the volume was quiet my friends and I (who were standing in front) could not even hear the drops which led to the entire crowd sort of standing around awkwardly. The DJs would yell something into the mics (probably "getcho f***in hands up!") and everyone would just look at eachother and shrug because we all could not hear. Also for a MD block party I would expect way better sound quality and way better practical effects. (NO CONFETTI NO LASERS NO FIRE OR ANYTHING?!)

Besides the weird "Take off your shoes check" and the "Cash Only" for drinks and food, everything else was AWESOME!

Grandtheft, Jai Wolf, Dillon Francis, Tiesto & Slushii did an amazing job. Venue was jam packed. The atmosphere was awesome. Everything that night was on point.

Good headliners, good weather, lots of madness. This event does not allow CAMEL BACKS, PLUR BEADS or GoPros/GoPoles. This was extremely inconvenient and unnecessary. Getting in I was required to remove my shoes, socks, and not a part of me wasn't touched by a thorough pat down. At some point Diplo and OWSLA are going to have to realize that entering an event isn't supposed to be like entering a prison. The main stage was stacked, my personal performances of interest were Brillz, Keys n Krates and Dillon Francis. This year the main stage opened on time (last year it didn't start until 5:30 cutting a set by JAUZ short) and there was another stage inside Revolution Live. This helped with clutter since the venue is a bit small for it's taste. I went to this with a few friends who had never been to a rave and they loved it, I am moving on from small events and probably will not return but if you are a raver under the age of 18, new to the EDM spectrum, or are just trying to have a fun day with some classic head banging music, this is the event for you.

Festival was awesome, paid extra for VIP and it was nothing special. I should've saved my money.

Amazing!!!!! Great music and great venue !! The whole water bottle without caps thing is cray and annoying but great even overAll!

The lineup wasn't all that fun, we we would stand and wait 15-20 minutes for the next act to come

Absolutely incredible!! Brillz and Diplo absolutely killed it. I'm moving to Florida...

I've been to plenty of music festivals and was surprised about the negative reviews of Mad Decent at Revolution Live I had read before hand. If you like electronic festivals and live shows you will have fun at this. Feel like the people giving bad reviews were probably not into that kind of thing in the first place

After reading the reviews for this event for the previous years was very skeptical about going. It is middle of the summer in Florida so it was hot, but part of living is Florida is it is always hot. Arrived around 4:30, line to get in was not long, maybe 10 mins. Security was good, they had police dogs and where pulling people aside if the dogs went off. They scanned tickets and had me take everything out of my pockets and got patted down. The parking lot where the main stage was located has trees and plenty of shade so didn't have to be in direct sun the entire time. They had hoses in front of the stage and were spraying the crowd constantly. There was more than enough bars and didn't wait any longer than a few minutes to ever get a cold drink. There was a lot of young people there since they made the event 16 and up but I did not have any issues with this. Every person I talked to was nice and friendly. Very good crowd and lots of energy. The main stage sound was good and loud and sounded amazing. I did not go inside to see the second stage since was there to see the main stage acts. I would definitely go again depending on the line up but would probably arrive about 6-7 o'clock after it cools down a bit more. Would like MDBP to allow totems, flag and kandi.

Saturday was just picked to be the better day. I'm Sorry to say Die Antwoord Killed it. But for sunday What so Not was the most underrated performance and he was killing it.

Event was limited to 100db due to noise restrictions. I was pretty close to the front of the venue and the music was quiet. I also couldn't understand anything the DJs were saying. The sound level was so low that I was able to talk to people at a normal volume. Would suggest having the event someplace where sound can be turned up!

Best vibes best feels ridiculous fun. Major lazer, RL Grime and Giraffage were the highlights for me.

Of all the cities this event took place in, Berkeley had the most thrown together line up, with the last artist not even being revealed until the day before, then being changed last minute. Clearly Berkeley was not a priority for Diplo and Mad Decent. I had a great time last year, and the line up was a million times better. I will not go again, or recommend it to anyone. The sound was terrible, and I could fully hear conversations going on around me over the music.

Perfect venue for the best DJ's. Great vibes all around. :)

Mad decent always brings a good lineup and the Greek Theater is an awesome venue. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because of how quiet everyone was until Major Lazer came on. My friend and I were about 30 feet from the stage and you could hear everyone talking and my friend and I could hold a conversation without even having to raise our voices. Naturally, when we told the sound guy it was too quiet he told us to fuck off but oh well.

The music was very low volume for such a large venue and they oversold this event, resulting in an overcapacity in the venue (You could barely walk around and they closed off the main floor). They should have sold a lot less tickets.

CL lip sang, RL grime only played 30 mins, event ended early abd way too quiet of an event. Major Lazer of course threw down
