EDC Las Vegas is nearly here! Make sure you’re familiar with the set times, maps, and more to maximize your experience under the electric sky.
There’s a week left until dance music lovers from all over the world head to Nevada to experience all that EDC Las Vegas has to offer this year. The festival is set to make its grand return to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on May 17-19 and is gearing up to be the most vibrant edition yet. EDC Las Vegas will bring forth sets from hundreds of artists on its nine stages, art cars, and more, and the glitz and glamor of the festival will be kicked into full gear with Insomniac’s signature production.
The biggest change for EDC Las Vegas this year is the festival’s layout. The hard dance-focused wasteLAND stage and bass-fueled bassPOD have flipped locations with the house and techno haven known as neonGARDEN and the trance-twinged quantumVALLEY stage. The underground-centered bionicJUNGLE has also shifted to a new home. Meanwhile, Downtown EDC is now centrally located with new additions like House Of Dunkin, and a new pathway has emerged to help everyone navigate the festival a bit easier.
