North America’s largest electronic music festival, Electric Daisy Carnival lives up to the title by being over the top in every way. The brightest costumes, colors and lights will cover the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in May, as will the fest’s nine different themed stages. With names like bionicJUNGLE, quantumVALLEY, bassPOD, wasteLAND, and neonGARDEN, each stage looks like they could house a rocket launch. This year’s EDC Vegas headliners include David Guetta, Zedd and Martin Garrix, all joined by over 200 other artists down the bill.
Music is not enough to make this three-day event a carnival. EDC is well known for its mix of art installations, rides, a group of dancers and actual circus performers known as “Funkdafied Freaks” who dress as whimsical neon clowns, and multiple themed bars. Forget a festival, EDC is a city built around the reverence of EDM. Worried three days is not enough time for you to go absolutely nuts in Vegas after spending all that money on neon body paint? EDC week starts before the festival and ends after it, and hosts events and smaller concerts all over Vegas.
