In its ninth year, North Coast also experienced evacuations in 2013, but this was the first time the festival had two nights where headliners didn’t perform. To compensate, organizers offered Friday and Saturday ticket holders free entry on Sunday. Prior to the festival, two buzzing acts originally in the lineup, Lil Xan and Lil Skies, pulled out due to “unforeseen circumstances,” according to a statement from organizers. Representatives for each did not respond to requests for comment. Despite the setbacks, the final day showcased what makes North Coast an annual draw: an eclectic, interesting mix of DJ/producers and electronic music acts, hip-hop artists and groove-minded bands.
