MINUS ZERO FESTIVAL–the multi-day winter sports and electronic music festival–completed a successful launch this past weekend, April 9 & 10, at the Stratton Mountain Resort in South Londonderry, VT. Thousands attended MINUS ZERO’s northeast edition and were treated to a vast array of electronic and dance music sets.
Each night was highlighted by performances from headliners deadmau5 and Kaskade, who took the opportunity to test out brand new material in their sets alongside some of their more popular productions, resulting in unique one-of-a-kind plays. There were also sets from international festival draws–many of whom were making their first appearances in Vermont–like Thomas Jack, Gorgon City, Jauz, ATTLAS, Serge Devant and Tony Arzadon, while Pierce Fulton, who grew up in nearby Stratton, played for the first time to a hometown crowd.

Overall, the picturesque backdrop of Stratton provided a stunning and unique setting for the event.

Jamie Jones raved: “This pairing of Electronic music and winter sports is unbelievable and no one taps both sides of the country like Minus Zero.”
Look for the next installments of MINUS ZERO FESTIVAL to take place later in 2016 at the Winter Park Resort in Colorado and Mountain High Resort in California. Details to be announced soon.
