What are known as plug- and- play or turnkey camps have sprung up, where people pay thousands of dollars to have everything set up and provided for them when they arrive, including showers, air conditioning, private chefs, guides and even costumes. Critics have howled that the camps violate principles of Burning Man, including radical self- reliance, participation, gifting, communal effort and decommodification. The issue blew out into the open in 2. Caravancicle (cost per person: $1. It's gotten bigger, and the obscenely wealthy have all added it to their bucket list," says director/composer Jerry Brunskill. Most don't embrace the original intent of the festival and show up with private planes and lavish housing with air- conditioning, and personal chefs and all that barf." Mitch Eakins, an actor who worked at a similar encampment a few years ago, tells THR that the downside at his camp was that "it wasn't inclusive. We had little barricaded areas." But Eakins believes that the upside of such camps is that the one percent are exposed to the ethos of Burning Man, and some return to more actively participate.

DJ rosters ahead of time.

The organizers — explaining in a statement that "Burning Man doesn't have 'headliners'" — don't want it to be seen as a music festival. Says Jennifer Raiser, author of the new book Burning Man: Art on Fire: "Unlike, say, Coachella, it's not about buying your ticket and waiting to be entertained. It's about figuring out how you can entertain everyone else." Regardless, two highlights stand out among such industry insiders as Brunskill, who recommends Black Rock Roller Disco — "a roller rink in the desert with disco music" — and Robot Heart: "a double- decker bus with a half- million- dollar sound system." Other popular music camps include Distrikt (during the day), Disorient, Camp Question Mark and White Ocean.
