The Orlando Amphitheater<\/a> will transform into a world of electronic music and visual art this weekend during a festival returning for its second year.<\/p>\n

The Metamorphosis Music and Arts Project<\/a>, which flutters into the Central Florida Fairgrounds Friday and Saturday, features well-known DJs, art installations, vendors and \u201cimmersive activities\u201d for all attendees. An estimated 8,000 ravers will gather to hear Illenium, Ganja White Night, BUNT., Cassian, Sullivan King, INZO and dozens of other DJs during the two-day event with four stages.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are going to see a lot of great acts, production, lasers, sound and lighting that will blow their socks off,\u201d said Erik Zika, one of the partners of the production team behind the festival. \u201cThere\u2019s also the community with a lot of great local businesses participating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Metamorphosis, which\u00a0began last year with three days of music in late August, is put on by\u00a0Macrodose Entertainment<\/a>, a collaboration between\u00a0Vivid Sky Productions<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Three Points Hospitality<\/a>, both based in\u00a0Gainesville.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really saw a need for hospitality in these festivals. We\u2019ve been going to them for a long time,\u201d Zika said. \u201cWe want everyone to feel that, when they come to our festival, they\u2019re going to be treated properly and they\u2019re going to be able to have a great time enjoying the music and production.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the festival works to grow its brand in Central Florida, Zika said it\u2019s important to make sure there\u2019s something at the festival for everyone and to provide a unique offering on a smaller scale than other big-name events, like EDC Orlando.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want it to be multi-genre so there\u2019s a little bit of something for everyone. That\u2019s something that\u2019s really important, in our opinion, for the longevity of the fest,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is a boutique festival. We want it to have a smaller footprint. We feel that there is an advantage to coming to a festival like this instead of a large-scale one.\u201d<\/p>\n
