NYC music festival Panorama is fast approaching. It happens Friday, July 28 through Sunday, July 30 on Randall's Island (and there are some aftershows too). Three-day and single-day passes are still available.

UPDATE: Panorama set times have been revealed.

Meanwhile, here's a guide to some of the artists we're most excited about, and other stuff you may want to know about the fest...

NONSTOP DANCING

In addition to the festival's main stages, this year Panorama is introducing The Point, an "outdoor dance club with nonstop DJ sets." Some exciting names are on this part of the lineup too, including Theo Parrish, Derrick Carter, Honey Dijon, Omar-S, Huerco S, Tim Sweeney, Mister Saturday Night and more.

They'll also again have The Lab, "an interactive experience that combines technology, artistry, and design [...] with six interactive installations and a massive 360-degree virtual-reality theater."

HOW TO GET THERE?

If you'd like to take a shuttle or ferry to Randall's Island, you can buy passes for that too. You can also walk or bike across the RFK/125th St bridge, the E. 103rd St footbridge, or the RFK/Hoyt Ave bridge to get to the fest (there's a dedicated lot with bike racks). There will be no parking available on Randall's Island, but if someone's driving you, there's a drop-off area at the fest.

WHAT TO BRING

You can bring a backpack or purse as long as it's smaller than 20" x 15" x 9", sunscreen and bug spray as long as it's non-aerosol, empty camelbacks, kids (kids two and under get in free!), and one empty or factory-sealed water bottle (no larger than 2 liters). If you need a locker, you can rent one now. Leave your totems, selfie sticks, umbrellas, chairs, coolers, e-cigs, musical instruments, kites, hammocks, flags, fireworks, stuffed animals, walkie talkies, and air horns at home.
