Audiotistic is one of the West Coast's largest multi-genre music festivals, uniting many styles of music culture including electronic music, hip-hop and turntablism. From its humble beginnings in 1996, Audiotistic has grown to be one of the largest, most talent packed multi-genre music festivals. This year's show lineup featured some of the most groundbreaking DJs and performance acts. A few of the featured acts were N.A.S.A. featuring Sam Spiegel, Kid Cudi, Bassnectar, A-Trak, Rusko, Talib Kweli & DJ Hi-Tek and Cosmic Gate.
Audiotistic 2010 marked the first show where Insomniac enforced their newly enacted 18 and older policy. Insomniac purchased handheld ID scanners, which it used to enforce the 18 and older policy. In addition, Audiotistic utilized the services of Symons Event, the largest provider of specialized event medical and safety services in the United States. Symons Event Safety has provided emergency medical personnel for events such as the NASCAR Sprint Cup at Auto Club Speedway, Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, the Air Rescue teams for the Baja 1000 in Mexico.
"All the wonderful people who help make our events so special deserve not only the best entertainment, but the most comprehensive safety and security measures available and the fact that Audiotistic was successful in being both entertaining and safe shows that we are achieving that goal. Audiotistic 2010 proves that Insomniac Events knows how to produce a safe and secure music festival and that an 18 and older policy can be implemented successfully," said Pasquale Rotella, Insomniac's CEO.
Insomniac is working with Investigative Advisory Group (IAG), a consulting firm that has experience creating overall safety and security protocols for large venues, to analyze Insomniac's current and proposed safety protocols and procedures for the company's music festivals throughout the United States.
"IAG officials were on hand to observe the quality security we currently provide as well as to use this opportunity to come up with suggestions to make these events a better experience for all of our guests. We love our community and we will continue to create the most entertaining and safe events for our fans and artists to enjoy. We are extremely grateful for the continued support and assistance of the National Orange Show, the San Bernardino community and businesses, as well as the San Bernardino Police and Fire Departments who helped make this event a huge success," concluded Rotella.
