Mad decent philadelphia block party 2011

For others, it was the first Mad Decent Block Party they had ever been to. Jauz is an act unlike any other, providing future bass tunes with heavy dubstep mixed in. The sky turned a little darker in the late afternoon, but that did not stop the party from raging on. Unfortunately, he was not doing a live Worlds show, but a DJ set by Porter Robinson is still one that is hard to top.

There was so much energy in the crowd that you could just feel the excitement in the air. The sky got dark and the lights got brighter, making this one of the best sets visually of the night. Before long, the Block Party also outgrew the Piazza.

The Block Party also outgrew Philadelphia, becoming a touring show all across the U. This was the first year that the Block Party was a ticketed event it was previously a free event. However, the fact that fans had to pay to attend the MDBP did not diminish the attendance numbers. With over 6, people packing the Great Plaza for the second straight year, we would not be surprised if Philly has once again outgrown the location for the beloved event.

Even though the show had just started, plenty of people had already made their way into the venue and were enjoying the opening acts of the block party. It seemed that no one was worried about conserving their energy for the later acts as everyone was dancing away in the opening hours. Up next was the D. The group, who are known for their incredible Moombahton tracks, put on an incredible performance that was in stark contrast to the opening acts of the show.

It was impossible not to dance during their performance, and by this point in the day, the venue was packed. There were even two female concert-goers who were lucky enough to be brought up on stage and demonstrate their dancing skills, which brought out huge cheers from the crowd.

The Party goes down from noon to 9pm on August 4th. For more information — including the full line-up — check out the Facebook event page. Do we even need to tell you how much fun this is?
