The Electric Daisy Carnival, commonly known as EDC, is an electronic dance music festival organized by promoter and distributor Insomniac. The annual flagship event, EDC Las Vegas, is held in May at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and is the largest electronic dance music festival worldwide, with over 500,000 people attending the 3-day festival each year.
The event incorporates a variety of electronic music producers and DJs, which are spread across nine stages and roaming art cars; traditionally, the Las Vegas edition has operated under a dusk-to-dawn schedule, with lineups beginning in the late-evening, and concluding at sunrise the following morning on each day. The festival grounds also include various art installations and other attractions, including carnival entertainers and amusement rides.
Since its inception, other EDC events have been held in other states and abroad, including Mexico, Puerto Rico, the UK, Brazil, Japan and India. As of 2026, EDC is held annually in Las Vegas and Orlando, along with international editions in China, Colombia, Mexico, South Korea, and Thailand.
In 2009, EDC became a two-day event, and in 2011, a three-day event. In 2018, EDC Las Vegas expanded the festival to include an on-site camping experience. The festival features nine stages, each catering to different genres of EDM, with its largest, Kinetic Field, being able to accommodate 70,000 people for headliners. It also has 18 carnival rides, four Ferris wheels, and over 5,000 staff members. In 2019, access to purchasing tickets to EDC was expanded to mobile phone apps for convenience. In 2017, EDC won the Festival of the Year award at the Electronic Music Awards. In 2024, the festival had a record attendance of 530,000 people over three days. Starting in 2027, the festival will expand to two weekends.
