For this year’s music festival in Las Vegas, 20 new and returning art installations were scattered throughout for fans to explore. With its whimsical, towering leaves, the Lilly Pond transported fans to a lush garden setting, while Hug Life’s three 10×10 boxes—ornately decorated—brought out the kid.

Insomniac debuted a dramatic new kineticFIELD stage featuring a cathedral theme that presented the DJ booth as a giant pipe organ, and flanked by two massive owls with outstretched wings. The structure features more than 1,000 lighting fixtures, 30 lasers, and requires 2.5 million watts of power. It is the largest stage in Insomniac history, spanning 440 feet wide and 80 feet tall.
