Altogether, Medellín’s choice of venue and local demand made it an ideal choice for the next EDC destination.
“We’re committed to growing this global community and sharing the magic of EDC with the world. Choosing a new location for EDC is never random. It comes down to a few key factors … First, we look for a local partner who shares our values, understands the spirit of EDC, and has the vision and dedication to help bring it to life. Páramo Presenta is an incredible team that fits that perfectly. Medellín also offers a venue that can support the scale and creativity EDC is known for, along with the backing we need from the city and local community. Most importantly, EDC must have a purpose. It should bring something meaningful to the area and leave a positive impact. EDC is about more than music – it’s about connection, culture, and creating unforgettable experiences that bring people together.”
