Insomniac’s Debut Interstellar Event Called Off Due to Hurricane Hillary

We regret to bring you disappointing news this Friday, as Insomniac’s highly anticipated inaugural Interstellar Experience has been abruptly canceled. Interstellar Experience was poised to make its debut as a new Insomniac festival dedicated to melodic techno, with an exciting collaboration between the factory 93 house/techno brand, the Dreamstate trance brand, and the renowned Zamna parties.

Originally scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday at the LA Waterfront space, which has become a frequent venue for Insomniac events, Interstellar Experience faced an unforeseen obstacle in the form of Hurricane Hillary. Remarkably, a hurricane is currently tracking towards California. According to the National Hurricane Center’s 9 am Friday Advisory, there is a risk of flash flooding and landslides in the Baja California region from tonight through Sunday, with hurricane conditions anticipated in parts of Baja. Additionally, there is a possibility of tropical storm conditions in portions of Southern California on Sunday. While the hurricane’s path does encompass Los Angeles, it is expected to weaken significantly by the time it reaches the region.

However, California is not accustomed to hurricanes like Florida, and it appears that local authorities were unwilling to take any chances. Although the statement announcing the cancellation is somewhat vague, it does indicate a definitive decision to call off the event. Information regarding refunds has not been provided in the initial announcement, but further details are expected to be outlined in a subsequent email.

This cancellation is undoubtedly a significant disappointment for both Insomniac and the melodic techno community on the West Coast. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had different plans, and Hurricane Hillary has cast a shadow over what was supposed to be an exciting weekend for electronic music enthusiasts.
