Setting sail on EDSea this year? We’ve compiled the essential information you need to know before you hop on board!
EDSea made its grand debut last year, providing an exceptional experience for those who set sail on the maiden voyage. This year, it returns for the sophomore edition, and Insomniac, Vibee, and Sixthman have concocted a blend of performances, themes, activities, and more for the sailing on November 2-6 that will head to Bimini.
The EDSea party starts on Embarkation Day, November 2, with a flurry of performances from artists like Monoky, Amal Nemer, Max Styler, AYYBO, Clawz, Wax Motif, GRAVEDGR, and Slander helping everyone get loose. The Bimini beach day is set to be a surefire hit with the Sonic Paradise and Aqua Byte stages booming with beats from San Pacho, Mau P, Prospa, Dillon Francis, Levity, Riordan, and a b2b featuring Subtronics and Level Up. Not to mention the sunrise set from Eli Brown that next morning on the Pool Deck.
Other artists slated to play throughout the sailing include LF System, Avision, Hedex, 1991, Netsky, Sara Landry, Virtual Riot, Sullivan King, VNSSA, and more. Additionally, Wreckno is hosting a Catwalk Competition and Slander will be participating in a Super Smash Brothers tournament, on top of all the other activities that Seasiders can participate in while on board.
