Electric Zoo 2010 set times, scheduling tool, and afterparty info announced

When announcing new info on this year's Electric Zoo Festival, usually Made Event will send out small updates, such as a ticket price increase or a couple new names added to the schedule.

But today they sent out a huge update with some decent surprises.

First off, New York's Zack Roth has been added to the Hilltop Arena schedule for an 11am-noon set on Sunday. I've seen Zack play his house and progressive sets before on Bars N' Beats, and he's always fun to watch.

The official set times for the festival can be found here. This year the schedule is a new format where you can create your own printable list of who you want to see and listen to tracks from each artist. Artist bios are also built into the schedule, and can be viewed when you mouse over their names. An iPhone scheduler app is also in the works (no Android or Blackberry love though?).

Some of the bigger names like Markus Schulz are playing sets earlier in the day since they have separate gigs that night, but I'm glad that Made Event didn't run into some possible scheduling snafus (Above & Beyond and Armin Van Buuren are the headliners for their respective stages on Sunday, but they're not playing at the same time).

You can also get to the festival this year through the local ferry, and tickets for that can be purchased here.

Finally, Dresden & Johnson, Italoboyz, Heartthrob, and Taimur & Fahad have been announced to round out the lineup for Saturday's official afterparty at Pacha. Guy Gerber is the only name right now for the Sunday afterparty, but more details will be coming soon.
