REVELLER DIES AT 2011 ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL
The promoters of dance music festival the Electric Daisy Carnival have been hit with another tragedy - a teenage reveller at their weekend event in Dallas, Texas died on Saturday night (18Jun11) and another man is in critical condition at the hospital.
The cause of Andrew Graf’s death was not released in time for WENN’s press deadline.
Thirty other ravers at the event were treated for heat, drug and alcohol-related issues.
Last summer (10) a 15-year-old girl died after overdosing on Ecstasy at a problem-ridden Los Angeles Electric Daisy event.
Pasquale Rotella, the chief executive of Insomniac Events, which promotes the festival, says, "To go from a moment of happiness and enjoyment, to the loss of life, is very heartbreaking." Above & Beyond and Benny Benassi will headline the next Electric Daisy festival in Las Vegas this coming weekend (24-25Jun11).
