Sara Landry, Excision, Rezz, and Armin van Buuren are on the EDC Las Vegas 2025 lineup, which accompanies a slew of other announcements regarding this year’s event.
EDC Las Vegas continues to make an impact in 2025. The festival market as a whole may be on the decline — but you wouldn’t think it judging by the lineup for this year’s edition at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway from May 16-18. Last night, Insomniac Founder and CEO Pasquale Rotella once again teased headliners through a Music Through Music Lineup Reveal, pointing to iconic billings and major, new updates in store for the Kinetic Metropolis-themed gathering.
As with every year, the EDC Las Vegas 2025 lineup spans the entire electronic music spectrum — with the 250 artists announced spread across nine of its total of 16 stages. The kineticFIELD mainstage alone will play host to performances by hard techno queen Sara Landry, melodic masterminds Illenium b2b SLANDER, drum and bass superstar Dimension, and the aptly named James Hype. FISHER, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, and Armin van Buuren are among the other artists slated to join them there.
As with every year, the neonGARDEN stage will focus on house and techno acts, namely BLOND:ISH, Nico Moreno, Amelie Lens, and I Hate Models. Meanwhile, at the bassPOD stage, revelers will be treated to the visceral low end frequencies of Sullivan King, Jessica Audiffred b2b LAYZ, Of The Trees, and SVDDEN DEATH, among numerous others. Hard dance fans will seldom venture far from the wasteLAND stage thanks to strong bookings like Darren Styles, Sub Zero Project, and Lil Texas.
The rest of the stages aren’t nearly as genre specific. At cosmicMEADOW, festival-goers will be treated to DJ sets from the likes of Gesaffelstein, Alison Wonderland b2b Kaskade, and TOKiMONSTA. Such artists as Kyle Watson, Dombresky, and RaeCola will perform at stereoBLOOM, whereas circuitGROUNDS will see Tiësto, ALLEYCVT, and Charlotte De Witte take the stage. Miss Monique, Le Youth, and Vini Vici will play quantumVALLEY, and attendees will go into “gremlin mode” — as Rotella and company joked — during bionicJUNGLE sets by HorsegiirL, TDJ, and Skream b2b Partiboi69, among others.
Perhaps as momentous as the EDC Las Vegas 2025 lineup itself are the other developments shared in the Music Through Music Lineup Reveal. This year, the up-and-coming talent platformed by the festival brand’s longrunning Discovery Project will receive a full-ride scholarship to Los Angeles music school ICON Collective. Not only that, but a new stage called Ubuntu, created in partnership with Bridges For Music Academy and inspired by a conversation between Rotella and EDM icon Skrillex, will host Afro-house DJ sets by students and South African genre figureheads alike.
Also gracing cosmicMEADOW this year is an as-yet-unnamed live act, and 2025 will mark the final year of bassPOD’s current design as it will get a remodel for next year. bionicJUNGLE will benefit from an expanded dancefloor as well as stage takeovers by outfits like HARD Recs, Live From Earth, HARD Selects, Planet X, and Factory 93.
quantumVALLEY, hosted by Interstellar and Dreamstate, is also getting a redesign this year — and while wasteLAND will be laid out differently, it will retain the same shipping container-centered aesthetic, with one day dedicated to hard techno and hardcore. A new VIP area and expanded dancefloor will breathe new life into stereoBLOOM, not to mention how neonGARDEN — hosted by Factory 93, Club Space, and new Insomniac partner Time Warp — will blend elements of previous editions to yield a whole greater than the sum of their parts.
Pasquale Rotella founded Insomniac, which was initially the name of a South Central Los Angeles party, in 1993. He organized his first Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) event in 1997, adopting the name from Stephen “Mr. Koolaid” Hauptfuhr‘s 1991 gathering, and theming it around the concept of fusing technology with nature. EDC saw its biggest leap in growth after relocating to Las Vegas in 2011; last year alone saw 525,000 attendees flock to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
