The iconic Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State once again served as the spiritual home for the Anjunafamily from September 11-13. Drawing a massive crowd of nearly 20,000 dedicated fans, the ABGT700 milestone was designed as a comprehensive showcase of the Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep labels. However, the legacy of this particular weekend evolved far beyond the scheduled tracklists, transforming into a testament to the bond between the artists and their audience.<\/p>\n
The event faced a significant hurdle on Saturday when severe wind gusts necessitated a three-hour safety pause. As organizers meticulously inspected the grounds to ensure the well-being of all attendees, the atmosphere shifted from high-energy anticipation to a collective display of patience. <\/p>\n
When the skies finally cleared, the music resumed under a steady rainfall. Rather than dampening spirits, the elements seemed to galvanize the crowd. The resulting performance became a hallmark of the weekend, as thousands of fans returned to the amphitheatre to witness Above & Beyond complete their set. This shared experience under the elements solidified the event as a defining chapter in the group\u2019s history, mirroring the emotional resonance often found in their “Group Therapy” radio shows.<\/p>\n
