Eric was eager to discuss the prolonged evolution of Gravity. The Gravity production team has approached the setback with positive attitudes. Granted they’ve had a few months to let out any (totally-justified) steam and raise back lost funds, they implicate that the event will be even better-executed this April than it would have last November. “BIG Entertainment and Knowledge Records have worked closely with Ada County to bring this type of event to the public,” by continuously working with government officials they can provide a safe environment “while Boise attendees can still experience the electronic music they love.”
Boise Idaho Group (BIG) Entertainment and Knowledge Records have joined forces to develop Gravity into an annual event.
Despite their optimism, they still view the city of Boise’s confrontation as a “call to arms” for similar events throughout the city. Though the team was not involved with the adoption of Boise’s Safe In Sound tour stop, they were still willing to adapt to the city’s new expectations, as they only plan to organize more events as Boise’s electronic music scene continues to develop. In fact, the production team plans for Gravity resemble a blueprint for a SXSW centered around dance music…but we’ll keep those details undisclosed.
The changes they must implement include setting a cap of 1,500 attendees, managing foot traffic around Gravity’s perimeters to prevent “city overflow”, and allowing for a police presence. Otherwise, the event was already set up for success in terms of safety: free water, a 16 & up age restriction, and on-site EMT’s were all features of Gravity since its inception.
