Electric Zoo plans to increase safety measures at this year’s festival
Electric Zoo has plans to increase its safety measures at this year's festival. In 2013, two drug-related deaths led to the cancelation of the festival's third day and brought with it serious public scrutiny of New York's premier dance music festival. This year's permit is also being deliberated due to concerns regarding the two-deaths in its five year history, and, as of writing, has still not been issued. Mike Binder and Laura DePalma are confident and told the Wall Street Journal that issuance usually "happens later in the year."
