EDC VEGAS: BIG CHANGES IN STORE FOR 2018

This year Pasquelle Rotella has announced tons of new surprises for Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas. On top of changing the dates, from the end of June to the end of May, Insomniac also announced that this year will be a camping festival! These are both radical moves for EDC to make, so EDC Vegas 2018 will be a different, and hopefully better, experience this year. There will be another official EDC Week this year featuring some of the top headliners from the festival at pool parties and clubs in Vegas the week around EDC. With a similar style to Miami Music Week/Winter Music Conference before Ultra, EDC Week will draw in more crowds to Vegas before the festival and also bring people who will just attend EDC Week parties. Learn more about Camp EDC, EDC Week and the official lineup announcement below.
