ELECTRIC DAISYCARNIVAL
North America's biggest electronic music party, across two weekends in May 2027 (14–16 and 21–23) at the Las Vegas circuit: every night, from dusk to dawn, 9 stages, a full-scale funfair and around 175,000 people under fireworks.
Electric Daisy Carnival 2027
The Electric Daisy Carnival festival.
In a nutshell.
The Electric Daisy Carnival — “EDC” — takes place in 2027 across two May weekends, the 14–16 and 21–23, at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a racing circuit about twenty kilometres north of the Strip. It's North America's biggest electronic music event: every night, the party starts at nightfall and ends at sunrise, across nine stages surrounded by funfair rides, big wheels and light installations. Run by Insomniac and its founder Pasquale Rotella, EDC moves to two weekends for the first time in 2027, under the names “Dusk” and “Dawn.”
The flagship stage, Kinetic Field, can hold 70,000 people facing a monumental structure rebuilt every year. Around it, eight other worlds — from the hardest techno to trance and bass music — and a funfair running all night: eighteen rides, four big wheels, street performers. EDC's signature is its fireworks, fired at regular intervals until dawn, and a heavily costumed crowd that's part of the scenery.
The whole operation is built for night and desert heat. Camp EDC sets up air-conditioned tents and RV spots on the circuit, with its own pool and its own daytime programme. Those who prefer the city stay on the Strip and reach the site via official shuttles, which run all night. Either way: you sleep by day, live by night, and bring enough to last until the early morning.

Minimum age 18, photo ID required.
Payment
Fully cashless on site via an RFID wristband, rechargeable online or on site. In the city, cards everywhere and tips expected. Plenty of free drinking water points at the festival.
Access and transport
Official shuttles from about twenty points on the Strip and downtown, running all night — the recommended option. Rideshare via a dedicated zone. Free parking but very long queues leaving in the early morning.
Accessibility
EDC has a well-developed ADA setup: raised platforms at every stage, golf carts, accessible camping, a dedicated help point. Apply in advance via the website.
TransportLas Vegas has a major international airport 10 minutes from the Strip; the festival is then reached by shuttle.
- By plane
- Harry Reid Airport (LAS), right by the Strip. Direct flights from London, Frankfurt or Paris (seasonal), otherwise a stopover on the East Coast or in Los Angeles.
- Getting to the site
- The Las Vegas Motor Speedway is ~25 km to the north-east. Official EDC shuttles from the Strip all night long (book with your pass): the simplest solution, with no car or parking.
- By car
- From Los Angeles, 4h by road via the I-15. Free parking at the speedway, but allow 1 to 2h to get out each morning.
- Camp EDC
- To sleep on site: no internal shuttle needed, everything is on foot. Arrive during the day to set up before the stages open.
AccommodationTwo approaches: the city and its casino hotels, or air-conditioned camping on the circuit.
- On the Strip
- Thousands of rooms at every price, with an EDC shuttle at the hotel's door. The most comfortable for recovering during the day, but far from the site.
- Camp EDC
- At the speedway: air-conditioned 'ShiftPod' tents (up to 4 people) or RV pitches, with a pool, food trucks and daytime sets. Book as soon as it opens, it goes fast.
- Downtown / Fremont
- Cheaper than the Strip, a more 'old Vegas' feel, a few shuttle points. A good budget compromise.
- Budget
- Hotel rates climb on weekends and during EDC. Book early and watch for the 'resort fee' added on arrival.
DestinationVegas is an ideal base for the great parks of the American West.
- Around the city
- Red Rock Canyon (30 min, hiking and scenic drive), Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam (45 min), Valley of Fire (1h).
- Further afield
- The Grand Canyon South Rim (2h30), Zion and Bryce Canyon in Utah (2h30 to 4h), Death Valley (2h) — real excursions to fit in before the sleepless nights.
- Weather
- Mid-May: 30 to 35°C by day, 13 to 17°C at night, very dry air. Sunscreen, a hat and a water bottle even for a festival night.
