Burning Man 2016
Burning Man 2016
30 years of Burning Man, and while many will say it has changed, and lost its core, and while others will say it got commercialized and swamped by celebrities and pop DJs, the bottom line is that still nothing looks as amazing and crazy and out of this world as Burning Man does. And we have the photos to prove it!
Burning Man has a long history, starting in 1986. The first Burn was held on a San Francisco beach when two friends, Larry Harvey and Jerry James, assembled together an improvised wooden figure, lit it up, and a curious crowd gathered to watch it burn. Burning Man 2016 had over 60 thousand visitors!

This year’s edition took place, as usual, in Black Rock Desert in Nevada, where Burning has been held since 1990. Burning Man 2016 was helג between August 28 and September 5, with another amazing art theme – Da Vinci’s Workshop. As usual, Burning Man 2016 looked like an explosion of creativity, happiness, deep thought, total craziness and a lot of fun.
And there was tons of music too, including a lot of electronic music, from the very underground to the totally commercial. Few names that can be mentioned are Infected Mushroom, Kaminanda, Maceo Plex, Guy Gerber, Carl Cox, Skrillex, Rusko and many many more.
