About Imagine Music Festival

Imagine Music Festival (IMF) has been held in Georgia since 2015. This highly diverse event boasts not only a totally immersive experience, but also a totally diverse lineup. Learn about what you should expect if you plan on attending this amazing event!

Bouckaert Farms

When: September 17-19th, 2021

Genres: EDM (House, Techno, Riddim, Dubstep, & more)

Imagine Music Festival is a 3-day, music and camping event based in Georgia since 2014. This makes it one of the longest-going festival in Georgia. IMF has previously been housed at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, but for 2021 they’re picking up shop and moving to a new location! Outside of providing a totally immersive experience for attendees, they also are known for the diverse, and IMO awesome, lineups that grace their stages annually.

About the (new) Location

As previously mentioned, Imagine Music Festival for the past several years has been housed at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, however, for 2021, the location is moving. Talks of moving the event started in 2019, so it’s exciting to see those talks come to fruition! We can expect things to be a little cooler this year versus being in the middle of the Speedway. Not to mention, there’s going to be so much more space.

Bouckaert Farm

The new home of Imagine Music Festival is one that most EDM lovers likely area familiar with. Bouckaert Farms was the home of TomorrowWorld before it cancelled the event after it’s 2016 bankruptcy announcement and 2015 weather debacle.  The new venue location is a major upgrade from the Atlanta Motorspeedway- going from 900 to 8,000 acres.

According to the co-founders of the event, Maddy and Glenn Goodhand, there are several huge takeaways that moving to Bouckaert Farms will present for IMF. Mainly, the total immersion in nature and art. For those of you who haven’t attended Imagine in the past, the festival is known for creating amazing art structures and experiences for their attendees, so the extra space is going to be put to good use.

What’s the Vibe?

IMF is an immersive festival that brings to life their “Aquatic Fairy Tale” theme. Outside of just creating decorations and art that bring this theme to life, IMF also boasts four stages that also bring to life their fairy tale theme. Expect to see even crazier outfits, characters, and art installations this year!

Outside of just having an amazing play-ground to immerse yourself in for three-days, the people are a huge bonus! The IMF crowd ranges from demographic, age, etc. You’ll always see someone different no matter where you look.

Camping At Imagine

With the move to the new location (and promise of improved infrastructure), camping at Imagine is going to be an amazing experience! The new location at Bouckaert Farms promises tons more space (8,000 acres to be exact- in comparison to the 900 they had at the AMS). When discussing the new camping location with the AJC, co-founders of the event share sneak peak ideas of camping in forests and pathways through the trees! Of course, you can also expect art installations and totally immersive experiences (per IMF standards)!

Imagine Festival Guide

Other Festival Guides

The post Learn About Imagine Music Festival appeared first on Rave Hackers.

So I’ve decided to take on all that trial and error mysel, and over the years have put together a survival guide, outlining all the little things (and the big ones) that make camping/festival season perfect! 

Click the download button to get the entire guide for F-R-E-E (with printer friendly checklists). 

Here are the basics of the nitty gritty that we recommend you know. This is a great starting point for anyone who just wants to know what they’re getting themselves into when they commit to any music festival!

Tickets

Know what’s available to you with whatever ticket option that you buy. Not every music festival ticket includes camping access. Sometimes it’s easier to get the most bang for your buck to upgrade rather than spend extra money on a ticket and a camping pass. Each festival has their own breakdown of what each of their ticket options will include, so check out the main festival’s website to get those details!

Now lets talk camping 

Yes, this is going to be very important when planning out packing, preparation, blah blah blah. Make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into with camping. Certain festivals will include a space for your car within your camping space (i.e. Bonnaroo, Electric Forest), others will either require you to park somewhere else and carry your things to a designated space (i.e. Camp Bisco), or there is just no camping allowed in general (i.e. Beyond Wonderland), so  make sure you know what is and isn’t available when you’re deciding which festivals to attend. Having a good tent is also another good choice, don’t catch yourself out in the cold at night or in the hella hot in the mornings. Losing sleep while you’re raging for 2-4 days wont do anyone any good!

Outside of making sure that you’re setting yourself up for a successful amount of sleep, having a cute and fun camping site doesn’t hurt either. Decorations can always function as multiple uses, so make sure that you’re utilizing all the things you’re bringing for the most usable space in your car! Decorations make your campsite fun, but they also make it easier to find your campsite when you’re looking for it later! While we’re talking about adding our own flavor to our campsite, packing your own flavor is doubley important.

Will I have room for my clothes?

So lets just talk about it- we know that one of the best ways to do that is with a little fashion. So, let’s just talk about it for a second. If you’re planning on bringing a whole wardrobe (ladies we’re winking at you), knowing how to bring all the right items is going to be essential. Not only so that you can look at cute as possible while still getting all your new outfits in the car! Being able to pair those items with different things is going to be essential in doing so.

Health & Safety

Lets just address what we all hate hearing about. Health & Safety. I’m sure we’ve all heard it a million times, but a music festival is a marathon, not a sprint. If you’re a little careless when it comes to taking care of our bodies, there are ways to make sure that you’re supplementing in another way! The good news is that usually festivals are diet-friendly and there are always healthy alternatives, as well as just outright getting yourself some good water/drink supplements/vitamins! If you don’t take care of yourself you’re never going to survive a festival, and take it from us, being so dehydrated and hungry that you can’t even get out of your hammock on the last day to catch the closing acts sucks. Just drink enough water, eat the right foods, just be good to your body and we promise it’ll be good right back to you!

Make sure your car is healthy too…

Making sure that your car is ready for the festival is just as important as making sure that you’re ready for your festival. But worry not, there are loads of different things that you can do to make sure that you won’t be one of those unfortunate souls that are broke down on the side of the road. The biggest thing that you need to make sure of is that you know what your mileage is at, and take the proper precautions to ensure you’ll make it to the festival grounds and back!

Now, stress not little ones if you still feel unprepared. We’ve created an entire Ultimate Festival Survival Guide just for all you guys. And do you want to know what the best part is?

IT’S FREE

If you rave, this is stuff you’re going to want to know. And it’s free, so why not right?
