EDC Las Vegas is the largest electronic-dance-music festival in North America — three all-night May weekends at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where hundreds of thousands gather under massive art installations, carnival rides, fireworks, and a dozen elaborate stages from dusk until dawn.
Famous for its "under the electric sky" spectacle and immersive production, it's a bucket-list party for EDM fans, wrapped in everything else Las Vegas has to offer.
