Electric Daisy Carnival, otherwise called EDC, is an internationally-known electronic dance music festival held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. The festival originated out of a party atmosphere that began at casinos in Las Vegas. Today, the festival features countless acts from different genres of electronic dance music. The festival has exploded into a global affair, drawing crowds from around the world. Tourists can literally come to the festival to enjoy the fun-filled nightlife while also experiencing high-energy and free-style dancing.
The festival has gained worldwide popularity due to the fact that it allows for artists and performers who are relatively unknown to the mainstream audience to make a name for themselves on the event. Artists performing at the festival include Above & Beyond, Koolhaas, Afro Delores, Purity Ring, Aaron Spectre, and many others. The festival boasts a lineup that consistently changes each year. The above-mentioned bands, along with many others have sold out every year.
The festival is known for its free-style and upbeat music. While some artists are known for their tight or stripped-down performances, many acts like Above & Beyond and Koolhaas showcase a more liberal approach to their style. Both Above & Beyond and Koolhaas have sold out several times at the festival. Many electronic dance artists who perform at the festival have become known for taking an unconventional approach to dance. This includes everything from robot dance to broken beat and break dance.
Electric Daisy Carnival is unique because it is one of only events of its kind. Typically, festivals feature one genre of music, but EDC is unique because there is no “one” genre of dance. Instead, there are dozens upon dozens of different varieties of music and dance from around the world. One of the most popular forms is dubstep. Dubstep is a style of dance that features a fast pace and a hard, low impact. It was created in the United Kingdom but has grown in popularity in the U.S. since it first started showing up on British television in 2021.
Another great aspect of Electric Daisy Carnival is that anyone can come, regardless of how long they have been interested in attending similar events. Additionally, if you want to dance your way to your favorite hot spot, you do not need a special ticket. Most of the main dance performances can be enjoyed by any age crowd. Most of the shows at EDC last all day long, which provides ample opportunity for non-daytoners to drop in too. EDC is also notorious for having some of the best parties and most legendary DJs in the world. There is truly something for everyone at this premier international party.
The festival also features a free after-party with open bars for adults and karaoke. If you are looking to stay out late and party, Electric Daisy Carnival has plenty of after-party opportunities. If you are looking to explore the city while you chill out, there are tons of hotels in Las Vegas that offer discount prices on top of free admission into the festival.
