Apparently the free event was plagued by gate-crashing due to long lineups. Eventually the rowdiness of the crowd led the police to shut down the entire event an hour before the scheduled end.

But as a Canadian and a fan of TATW, all I've got say is:
I'd love to see one of these big yearly events choosing Canada as their destination. I believe Canadians would be thrilled to have something like TATW land in one of our major cities.
Speaking of major annual EDM events, the 'A State of Trance 600' (ASOT) global tour have yet to select their destination cities. There are many competitive social media campaigns taking place to see which venues will be selected. If you want to support our best chance at getting an ASOT tour stop in Canada then I recommend that you follow the ASOT 600 in Montreal account as every new follower counts.

I bet it will go straight to #1 on Beatport when it is officially released on September 21st.

Bonus: Speaking of the Electric Zoo festival here's what EDM Snob said about the experience:
He first called New York City a "magical place" but then 3 paragraphs later he referred to NYC as "the most detached and emotionless cities in the world".
In respect to the festival itself he stated "Electric Zoo is one of those festivals that leaves you in awe of the power of experience". But when compared to Ultra Music Festival, EDC and Sensation he stated that Electric Zoo was "painfully ordinary". "As a result, there were relative lulls in each day where I saw people in a state I call “active boredom”; they were walking around just for the sake of moving."
I like EDM Snob but I found this review to be a little harsh.

Music increases dopamine levels in the brain which increases your pleasure, and pleasure is addicting. Makes total sense to me.

According to Vibe David Guetta is a "raw and really dope DJ" and "played underground electronic music that he produced himself" at Electric Zoo this year. I find it hard to contain my laughter when the words "raw" and "underground" are associated with David Guetta. To come to your own opinion on the matter here's Guetta's full live set at Electric Zoo:
What do you think of the "Parisian maestro of mixing" Electric Zoo set?
