After years of having to flock outside the city to dance into the night, Los Angeles EDM fans may soon be getting their fix at home once again. The newcomer Eric Garcetti held a "Ask-Me-Anything" press conference via Reddit last night in anticipation of his taking office in a few weeks, and it didn't take much prodding to hear his outright support for electronic music events. Eric obviously feels the pulse of the youth, having held a fundraiser with Steve Aoki spinning at Avalon earlier this year, where he deemed L.A. the epicenter of electronic culture. Having looked at the impact on cities like Los Angeles and Miami he stated outright that he will support the return of music festivals to the Coliseum. The famed venue is in the process of a management shift from nine board members down to three (still pending), which could very well help speed up the approval process for promoters. Garcetti made it clear last night that he "want[s] some signature festivals here in L.A., the music capital of the world." So there you go nightowls, it's time to rejoice.
