Identity Festival was the first and only national touring EDM festival that ran from 2011 to 2012, featuring huge artists like Kaskade and Eric Prydz as headliners.
Recently, a flyer for the 2013 Identity Festival has been circulating online (seen here), claiming that the United State's only touring EDM festival would be returning from July 18 through August 17, 2013.
However, this flyer is highly likely to be fake. A quick view of the ID Fest's Facebook shows no activity since December, with people constantly posting "Any updates on the 2013 tour?" to no avail.
ID Festival's website shows nothing but the logo for Synergy Glogal Entertainment (SGE) (the production company that once hosted ID Fest).
A peek at their Twitter account also shows no activity since December, with their Twitter description reading in the past tense: “OFFICIAL Twitter of IDENTITY, which was the first ever touring electronic only festival from 2011-12. Account was managed by @nehamodi.”
The last tweet on the account was a response to @BeatsNotBombs_ saying "I need @IDENTITYfest back...", with a short response: "@BeatsNotBombs_ meee toooo" (@IDENTITYfest).
Sources close to EDM Boston say that there will be no ID Festival returning for 2013. Why? We don't know for sure yet. However, speculation is that is has something to do with the 2 deaths at the Mansfield stop on the tour last year.
We will keep you updated as we learn more.
