Every year, under the electric sky, thousands of music lovers gather for an unforgettable experience that transcends sound — they gather for Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC). What started as a small warehouse party in the 1990s has grown into one of the largest and most iconic electronic dance music (EDM) festivals in the world.
🎡 What is Electric Daisy Carnival?
EDC is a multi-day, multi-stage EDM festival organized by Insomniac Events, known for transforming ordinary spaces into surreal, immersive wonderlands. The flagship event takes place annually in Las Vegas, typically in May, drawing in over 400,000 attendees from across the globe.
The festival blends music, art, carnival rides, and high-tech production in a way few other events do. Think of it as a playground for all ages — with neon lights, massive LED installations, roaming performers, art cars, and non-stop beats across eight or more stages.
🎶 The Music
