Aside from being crowded this year, there was a great range of artists and the stages, visuals, drones, fireworks, and lasers were awesome. Tips: - Don't stay on the strip, get an Airbnb closer to the Speedway. You'll save more than an hour going in and out of the venue - Rent a car, parking is free. Another way to save time - Leave earlier vs. later, if you leave between 4-5 pm it won't take long to get in. If you leave after 7 pm, expect at least 2 hours to get to the venue - Use the restrooms and fill water before your first set - Plan your schedule in advance with the Insomniac app - It's two weekends next year! read more

The food here is a little expensive but what do you expect at a music festival. The food is also hit or miss here as well. Some of it is Good and some of it is horrible. Same goes for the service workers that are working here. Some are on it and some aren't. But overall, EDC is always a magical time of making new friends, Seeing old friends, listening to some good music, making memories of a lifetime, Being You & doing You. Always magical times here. read more

What an AMAZING experience! First timer and i was not expecting to enjoy it so much. Whenever i thought of EDC id think it was about raves and drugs and it is NOT! EDC is a vibe and everyone was so nice & carefree. The different stages were amazing - the lights, the music - the whole vibe! The energy here is REAL and i think everyone should experience EDC at least ONCE in their life! There's an excellent firework show as well! Theres so much things to do and so much different experiences - i did not even see half of it, thats how big this event is! Plan ahead with parking - there's 100's of thousands ppl at this event. Drinks and food are costly as well but the whole experience makes up for it. Was it worth the traffic, crowd, sore feet, long bathroom lines, & no phone reception??Id say YES. read more

It's been YEARS since the last time I went to EDC. My last EDC was in 2015. My friends go every year still. I told them I would go this year only to see Illenium! We originally were going to go Sunday but luckily found tickets for Saturday when we arrived in Vegas. Unfortunately, my friend did get scammed on one of the wristbands and we had to buy a new one at the ticket window. It was $700 for a GA+! We saw 2 others that were scammed. Poor ticket people were getting yelled at by them. Totally understandable though because they spent $400/ticket. I wish there was a way to prevent this issue in the future. It felt amazing to return to a place that I haven't been to in so long. I tell everyone it's something you have to experience at least once in your lifetime. You have a pretty good view of the entire place from the bleachers after entering. The entire place is lit up with colors and blinking lights. You can see multiple stages spread out across the place. Cosmic Meadow is the first stage you see when entering. We were at this stage but mainly at Kinetic for the most part. Also checked out Bionic Jungle for a bit. Downtown EDC is pretty cool to see too. I can't remember if they had that back then. I wished we walked around in there a bit more. Also wished we checked out Circuit Grounds. We didn't even walk to that side, unfortunately. The fireworks show is one of the best at EDC. I always said it's better than NYE or the 4th of July! They could really improve on the GA+ bathroom set up though. Definitely need to add more trailers in multiple areas and have it a bit more open. It was super crowded and lines were long. GA+ is worth it though if you're like me and care about cleaner bathrooms. It was a super windy/cold night for the 1st hour there and chilly the rest of the night but seeing Illenium b2b Slander made it all worth it. TIP: look for the flag marking the area you parked and maybe even record/take pics so you can find your car after. We walked around for a good hour looking -_- read more

How can they be doing this long and not figure out how to plan their shuttles with the local community. Going on 3 hours in the shuttle when we got on at 6:30pm. Anyone getting in a shuttle later than 7 might as well try again tomorrow. Sorry you spent the money. Shame on you Insomniac, for the money you are bringing in you should do better. read more

As an 18 year veteran, nothing can top this! Be prepared to walk so wear comfy shoes and have lots of water on hand

Very very disappointed with this EDCexperience. Yesterday 5/16/2026 was 95° outside, and the shuttle bus had no AC. Inside the bus, it felt closer to 130°. The ride took approx two hours, and people were drenched in sweat from the extreme heat. Some attendees had to remove their shirts just to cool down, and others were close to passing out from heat exhaustion. People in the back of the bus even had to open the emergency roof window just to get some air flowing. This situation was unsafe, unacceptable, and should never happen read more

We paid $800/person just for the EDC tickets, not including travel or taking time off or anything. We spent 5 hours in traffic just to get in after midnight Friday, okay whatever, so we rushed to fill our hydropack with water and rush Kinetic for The Chainsmokers. Water tasted like literal sewage and made me sick. (We tested the water from the hydro pack we saved after we got home, HIGH levels of alkaline and it was VERY hard water, which can cause ill symptoms, all of which matched what I went through that night), we had to leave bc I was dizzy and vomiting. I was fine when we got there, my bf thought I was drugged somehow bc of how bad it got. Saturday rolls around, we leave earlier, sit in traffic for 6.5 hours to move literally 6 miles, and then get turned away in the end because they were over capacity and couldn't allow anyone else in. And the nearest potential parking was a 2+ hour walk through the desert at 130am. We had already missed every set but one that we wanted to see, and if we walked, we would've missed that one too anyway. We never got in that night, same problem Sunday. We never even got near the track before we saw lights turning people around back to the roads. It was a waste of time, money, and energy. It was overpacked, trash everywhere, nasty dirty water, and everything you can buy is so insanely overpriced it's not even worth it. I'm not paying $5/ water-bottle per person every hour, that's gonna cost a couple hundred bucks just on water when they advertise "free filtered water", but beware bc it's not good. I don't even think the filter was working, if it even had one. Tasted like they just connected to the racetracks water supply and called it a night. It was a terrible experience, and they won't give us a refund for being turned away due to overflow, which is their fault for overbooking by THOUSANDS! 0 read more

Edc Las Vegas - CAMP EDC 2024 - Music Venues Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Encapsulating the EDC Las Vegas experience in a review is tough. But I will try my best. While I had been to a couple of raves in my day, I had not been to one of this scale. EDC is the largest EDM festival in the world next to Tomorrowland in Europe. Which presents both pros and cons to your experience. Here are some of the pros. Given the stature of the event, you'll be able to see the best DJs in the world. In fact, there are so many DJs that attend that you'll have to pick and choose which ones to see. The performances, however, are only part of the experience. EDC is basically an adult playground. There are so many nooks and crannies to explore. Various entertainment options, food, drinks . . . lots of fun to get into. The culture surrounding EDC and the elaborate outfits that a lot of people where are also really, really cool to see. The sets are incredible. There are fireworks, including the use of drones. It's a unique experience. With that being said, there are definite cons too. It's packed. Which means you'll be navigating a madhouse and lines. The food can be a hit or a miss. The prices, both to attend, and there, are quite expensive. The performances go late so you really have to have a ton of energy to survive the multi-day festival. You'll see rampant drug use. These are things that do impact the experience. And if you're camping at EDC, that's a whole other animal in itself. Am I happy I attended? Absolutely. It was a great bucket list item to cross off. Would I attend again? I'm conflicted. read more

EDC Las Vegas - Pure Magic, But Please Ease the Crowds EDC Las Vegas is truly an experience like no other. From the jaw-dropping stages to the nonstop music, fireworks, art cars, and incredible vibes... it's a full-blown sensory overload in the best way possible. You feel like you've stepped into another world where love, creativity, and music reign supreme. The production is unmatched. Every set feels like a moment, the performers and dancers add so much energy, and the community of ravers is nothing short of beautiful. You're surrounded by good vibes, expressive fashion, and people just living their best lives. That said, over the years, there's definitely been one downside: the crowding. It's no secret that EDC has been overselling tickets, and as a guest, it's become noticeably harder to walk through the festival grounds. At times it's downright difficult to get from stage to stage without feeling like you're stuck in a sea of people for far too long. It takes away a little bit from the freedom and flow that makes the experience so magical in the first place. We love EDC and we want to keep loving it. Hopefully, Insomniac hears the feedback and brings the focus back to quality over quantity. Because when it's not too packed, it's nothing short of perfection. Still, EDC holds a special place in my heart. I'll be back, but fingers crossed for more space to dance and less time spent squeezing through the crowd. read more

This was my second EDC in Las Vegas and boy was it an amazing experience. It was memorable, euphoric, and mesmerizing. I was able to go all 3 days this year. The energy is like no other. It wasn't too hot this year and both Saturday and Sunday had some wind. Presentation and the stages are out of this world, as was the fireworks show and the drone shows. I say everyone who loves music as a whole should check out EDC at least once. I had a great time. The only thing was the preferred parking which we paid and on the first day, it took us 3.5 hours to just get out of the parking lot because it was 1 lane and they let other parking lots go first for some reason. Otherwise the experience was phenomenal. read more

Edc Las Vegas - Music Venues Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

5/20-5/22, 2022 Too young for Woodstock. Too old for EDC? Well if Shaq A.K.A. DJ Diesel brought Lebron James with him to party and the logo screams "Here, all are welcomed"; LET'S DANCE! Information Subscribe to the EDC mailing list to get updated information on when to purchase tickets in advance and on deals for layaway plans. There are other ways to obtain passes but I leave it up to you (the reader) to do your off-the-street research. I purchased a 3-day-general admission pass with only a $3.00 deposit for the layaway plan; by golly such a deal! My passes were paid off in six months and within my budget. The Package I was so excited to receive a colorful trifold hard case box enclosed in a hard cover enclosure. I quickly slid the box out and slowly opened the front lid to find a pop-up flower...sooo DOPE! The other side contained an informational booklet with all the details of the event. The last fold had the actual wristband, luggage tag, several collectible pins, and stickers galore (all of which I collect). The venue Located on the Las Vegas Speedway, home base to EDC since 2011. This massive base covers 1200 acres of ground space for huge events. Perfect fit for the nine awesome stages beautifully curated with architectural wooden structures that articulate and are covered in bold laser lights. There were 2 Ferris wheels and several small swing rides. It's literally an adult Disneyland. The merch booth So many fine collectables: large hand fans, pins, sweat shirts, bucket hats, hydro packs, stickers, back packs, blankets, flags, and bandanas all with EDC/Insomniac logos, available for purchase. There is a section in the venue that has separate stands that sell beads for bracelet trading. So freaking awesome! The trade PLUR; originally it was Peace, Love, Unity, Movement (PLUM) trade mark to DJ Frankie Bones of New York, but now it stands for Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. The DJ stopped a fight in a local warehouse rave, all music was at a halt when DJ Bones took the mic and reminded everyone of how important respect is in the rave community. PLUR is now an iconic hand shake between fellow ravers who join hand symbols for each acronym in exchange for beaded bracelets to trade it usually ends with a hug for mutual love and respect. The fit I searched on Amazon EDC outfits and surprisingly, it populated a sleuth of different rave styles. I chose the best ones that appeal to my fashion taste (photos uploaded). The know If you are middle-aged like me then it would behoove you to purchase some Dr. Scholl's orthopedic foot insoles and replace the ones in the given pair of shoes you are using for the evening. Purchase some compression socks to go with those insoles. Lol, believe me, your feet will thank you. Bring hydro packs empty ones because security will not let you in with open items or filled water packs. Take some Tylenol or Bayer for a long night of discovery in a huge playground. Bring a card for monetary purchases or you may exchange cash for credit at the labeled monetary booth. Hand sanitizer, disposable wipes, a large fan/electric handheld fan are a must have. The experience This is my very first EDC experience and I tagged along with my partner in crime, my forever plus one, my King mate. Yet another check mark to tally on my bucket list. The stage presence, the bass from all the EDM had my blood flowing, the fireworks, and all the beautiful people (with a little liquid courage/off the street pharmaceuticals) were all so kind. It was an electric sky and a memory to go down in my history of existence. I shall return!l read more

The EDC Camp was "OFF THE CHAIN". The 9AM Ragers with an actual dancefloor, mist fans and DJ's spinning the tunes was awesome. The pool party was amazing. Loved how security was willing to look the other way...if I decided to return w/o a proper bikini lol. I think my bikini top and rhinestone jewel cut off jean shorts gave me proper clearance. Love the "Roller Disco" in the middle of a desert. Great idea! Almost everyone roller skated in tiny shorts, crop tops or THONG BIKINIS. It took some time getting warmed up in the rink...it had been a while since I skated. The food tents served delicious food. My favorite was the Mac n' Cheese tent. Had a chance to see "MOM's & DAD's"...they brought their RV's, Kandi craft stations, free hugs and hot cocoa. Let's not forget the old school jokes they brought with them "What do you call the wife of a hippie?" Answer: A Mississippi lol. The general store had everything I needed from a toothbrush to wet wipes. Next time, I am staying in a shiftpod with A/C. I thoroughly enjoyed the EDC CAMP. read more

I say everyone needs to do it atleast once in their life. This was my second year, last year being my first. 2021 was better, seemed to have better artist line up. Also parking was more organized last year. If you arrive after 9pm beware cause parking can take forever. Some parking is about 2 mile walk to the entrance. I mean be prepared, each day at EDC, you will do an average of & miles or more. There are so many stages to choose from so you are bound to find an artist you like. Besides the artist, lots of other activities to do. To prepare , watch YouTube's of many pros that have the experience down to a science. Bathrooms- just be prepared to have TP and your own sanitizer. Fireworks are always amazing!!! Overall a great energizing experience that you'll forever remember! read more

Edc Las Vegas - a hand holding a yellow duck - Music Venues Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I must say that this entire event blew my mind and my friends minds! It was basically a huge event like that of Disneyland. However, this Disneyland was for adults only! It was really cool that they provided free water for all the attendees. They not only have music, but they have food, alcohol beverages, and rides! What I would like to see changed for the future: less hassle to get to the actual venue. It took us nearly two hours sitting in stopped traffic to get there. Perhaps a little warning for the people going that it's absolutely freezing and high winds. (I had to borrow a sweater from someone) I personally think this is a once in a lifetime type of event. I won't be returning, but I'll carry the memories forever. read more

After three years of going to insomniac events like this, never have I ever been treated with such disrespect from security. Security there sitting around fiddling there fingers taking things from people just to use them for their own gain. @pascal the security you hire should have some standard, Instead these guys are trying to make a profit off things that were "confiscated". The security were just plain out rude and didn't respect the ways of PLUR. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO AN EVENT LIKE THIS. So much for things to be fun and it gets ruined by some asshole of a security guard read more

Last year was so much better in my opinion.... Here's everything that went wrong , Alan Walker set was cut short from high wind and he left without continuing , and when the stage was shut down there wasn't any staff to help or anything .Circuit grounds had too much bass and you could barely hear the track for all performers at that stage . Kaskade at kinetic field was trash because it was too much treble it was screechy and too high pitched .Let's not forget by the bathrooms there isn't a hand washing station only hand sanitizer ,so gross .LASTLY I WAS SITTING AT A TABLE AND THE WIND PUSHED A GATE THAT FELL ON ME . A group helped me by still I feel it's on EDC / Insomniac to fully secure / check fences . read more
