Planning to party 24/7 during EDC Las Vegas at Camp EDC this year? Stay in the know with all the essential info, including the maps, schedules, and more.
Camp EDC is nearly here and it’s shaping up to be another fantastic weekend on The Mesa. Adjacent to EDC Las Vegas, this experience has come into its own since making a massive debut in 2018. The thousands who will make Camp EDC their home away from home will be treated to plenty of benefits, including everything from pool parties and exclusive early morning sets to workshops and activities to participate in.
The Camp EDC Homecoming Party is a real show-stopper this year, with huge artists like Eric Prydz and MK headlining the festivities. Other artists who shouldn’t be missed throughout the weekend include Bou, Deeper Purpose, J. Worra, Matroda, Joseph Capriati, DJ HEARTSTRING, and HAAi, among others. And if music isn’t what you’re after, then perhaps a round of Frick Frack Blackjack, a ride on the Ferris Wheel, doing Goat Yoga, or taking a shuffle class will suit you during the weekend.
To help you get prepped for the weekend ahead, we’ve compiled all the information you need to know before you go. Read on for the Camp EDC essentials, and if you see us while you’re there, make sure to say hi!

Reminder To Mind Your Belongings:
Unfortunately, during this festival season, many have reported pickpockets, bag slashings, and theft of wallets, smartphones, purses, and other valuables. While this small number of bad apples in the bunch doesn’t define an entire crowd, some opportunistic people come to these events to take advantage of unsuspecting partygoers, and it’s essential to be mindful of your valuables while at Camp EDC.
