Attendance:

Paradiso Festival attendance was estimated to be approximately 20,000, with 19,000+ presale tickets sold plus sales at the door.  Wow!  Per the Seattle Times article “Paradiso Festival of electronic dance music a throbbing success”:

“The Paradiso Festival, the Northwest’s first locally-produced major festival of electronic dance music (EDM), drew 19,000 enthusiastic dancers to The Gorge, in George, Grant County Saturday. Headliners included Avicii, Afrojack, Dillon Francis, R3HAB, Excision, Knife Party and Above & Beyond.

…

The festival ran smoothly, with few apparent problems or visits to the first aid tents. The weather improved as the day went by, with clear skies and temperatures in the 70s by late afternoon.  Paradiso was the largest EDM event to date at The Gorge, with advance ticket sales estimated at more than 19,000 by USC Events, which co-promoted the festival with Live Nation. USC Events is already making plans for 2013. A large, lighted sign greeted festivalgoers as they left the venue: “Paradiso Festival: See You Next Year!””
