Thousands of people are expected to fill the WaMu Theater on Friday night for the FreakNight Festival.
The electronic dance music festival returns to Seattle this year after being held at the Tacoma Dome the last two years.
In 2014, the last night of the two-day festival was canceled after a 20-year-old man attending the event died of an overdose and 16 people were taken to Harborview Medical Center. The drug molly, a form of ecstasy, was believed to have been the cause.
