"Randall's Island became a multiplex of temporary dance floors, with a stadium-scale stage for headliners and three tents with club-quality surround-sound systems." —Jon Pareles, The New York Times
"Capping off a summer that saw the biggest electronic music events in U.S. history, Electric Zoo marked its third and biggest year yet." —Billboard.com
"The fest that began as a modest weekend event was something more, drawing crowds that were large even by music festival standards." —The Wall Street Journal
"The three-day dance party on Randall's Island had no shortage of new: New acts, new tracks and new grass (really!) filled the 24-acre island for 12 hours a day over Labor Day weekend... Despite the record number of attendees — over 85,000 fans showed up — Electric Zoo didn't lose its sense of ease and comfort. Thanks to an increased number of restrooms, a variety of food vendors and the use of RFID wristband technology, which minimized entrance time, there were no lines to be found. And when you wanted to dance deep inside the tent, there was an actual dance floor and ample space to do so. When you're talking about music marathons, these are small details that many festival producers overlook, the small details that can turn a great event into an exceptional one. " —Huffington Post
"While it certainly is a spectacle, Electric Zoo was probably the happiest place on earth last weekend." —Village Voice
"Electric Zoo [2011] was sick! The crowd was unbelievable and brought an incredible energy to the city." —Tiësto
"I felt like playing Electric Zoo [2011] advanced me as an artist." —Porter Robinson
