Attracting over 40,000 attendees, the Sun City Music Festival, also known as "Sun City," is one of the largest electronic dance music events in the US. The 2015 edition will take place in El Paso, Texas, on September 5th and 6th, to welcome celebrated artists and DJs, including Armin Van Buuren, Hardwell, Dash Berlin, DVBBS, NERVO and Zeds Dead.

"An increasing number of festivalgoers use FireChat to stay in touch with their friends and chat live with their favorite artists, before, during and after the event. It's a great feeling to solve communication problems while helping everyone have a fun time."
