After the resounding success of last weekend’s Dimensions Festival in Pula, Croatia, organisers have confirmed plans to move the festival forward by making it the first fully 3D music festival by the year 2016.
This year’s festival featured a groundbreaking 3D stage, which festival goers described as “So good it was just like real life” and “Amazing! It felt as if I could just reach out and touch the DJ”.
Niko Petrovic, the 3D stage manager, spoke to Wunderground earlier, “Our stage was a massive success, we changed the name to the 3D stage and it seemed to make a real difference because we were far busier than we had been in previous years.”
“The stage was groundbreaking because we physically had to break the ground to build it but apart from that there was absolutely no new technology used,” continued Petrovic. “We simply encouraged drug taking and handed out pairs of flimsy paper glasses with red and green lenses.”
“It was supposed to be a joke, 3D glasses at the 3D stage, 3 dimensions, Dimensions Festival, you know?” he asked “But before long people were walking around with their hands in the air saying stuff like ‘wow everything looks so real’ but everything was real,” explained Mr. Petrovich. “It’s amazing how much a little prop can fool people into thinking something that’s quite boring is actually something amazing.”
“Just look at Steve Aoki, he’s built his whole career around props, if it wasn’t for his cakes he’d probably be either flipping burgers or living in a mental institution,” suggested Petrovic.
Sven Nording, who attended Dimensions Festival, spoke to Wunderground earlier, “I hung around the 3D stage the entire weekend. I’ve never seen music like that before in my life it was really amazing! Once you put the glasses on you could see everything so clearly. It was just like watching a Boiler Room video, only in real life. I’ll definitely be coming back here every year.”
