Monster Massive was host to some of the biggest names in electronic dance music, including Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Deep Dish, Hernan Cattaneo, Carl Cox, John Digweed, Sasha, Felix Da Housecat, Armand Van Helden and many others.

History

The first Monster Massive was held in 1997. In 2008 and 2009, Monster Massive had a reported 65,000 tickets sold, which would place it among the biggest dance festivals in North America. In 2010, the event was limited to ages 18 and over, due to the death of Sasha Rodriguez in June 2010 at the Electric Daisy Carnival, and attendance was only 16,000. In 2011, when Armin Van Buuren, Nero, and Erick Morillo were scheduled to perform, the event was canceled.[2] In 2012, it was canceled just one day before it was scheduled to occur. It has not been rescheduled for 2013 and would appear to be defunct.

gollark: They read a fixed-sized subset of what recommender algorithms/their preferences/filter bubbles bring to their attention.
gollark: However, this probably isn't actually true because people don't read news randomly selected from all published news.
gollark: Not necessarily. If we assume that there are some amount people of devoting some fixed amount of time hours a day to reading news, and right now it's 90% real/10% fake, and writing 5x more content would push it to 80%/20%, that would be bad.
gollark: Which won't necessarily go faster just because you can write a few times more.
gollark: People actually spreading your content, quite possibly?
