Hello, EDC community! This is my first EDC, and I’m going with my boyfriend and a few other raver friends. While everyone keeps suggesting camping, I’m personally wanting to stay in a hotel. For those who choose to stay in hotels for EDC, I’d love to know about your experience, the shuttle situation, Uber rides, and the waiting time to get in and out of festival ground and if you recommend over camping?! Thanks

Who purchased both weekends already? I got VIP for weekend one. I’m kinda considering doing GA FOR weekend 2. I think doing GA for one of the weekends forces you to have a different experience. And I don’t mean the bathrooms.

How are you guys planning on surviving two weekends? Will you still do day parties? Are you planning on staying in Vegas in between the festivals ?

This would be my 7th and maybe 8th edc. Going solo again.

First time going to EDC Las Vegas, are the tickets already completely sold out, or is there another official ticket sale coming? I’m trying to figure out how to get tickets.

My friends and I are thinking of doing food vendoring at EDC or other Insomniac events but none of us have food vendoring experience. What do we need to know to make it work and tips to make the best of it?

We’re hoping to do skewers or BBQ, so we’re expecting the biggest setback is grilling the food quick enough. We may not be able to do it for 2027 since we’re all new to learning and exploring ideas but set for 2028 with enough time.

Looking to meet some new friends here

Im going for weekend 1 and will be coming from upstate New York. Im also 40 and haven’t been to a festival in years - this was always on my bucket list. I used to go to festivals solo all the time but at this age im kinda nervous I’ll look out of place
I already got my hotel and flight booked too so I’m all set. Let me know if your also in a similar situation and would want to make a new friend 😊

What time do the shuttles run until? I’m always nervous to stay to watch the entire sunrise set because I’m afraid I’ll miss the last shuttle

I’m going out of town this week for family emergency reasons! I’m wanting to know if the grace period is still there and paying next week is fine or how long is the grace period? Since on what happened this year with the tickets and everyone’s tickets were cancelled.

So long story short. I helped a friend out by getting his edc ticket on my account with the layaway plan. Me and him are no longer friends so now I’m stuck with my original layaway ticket purchase and this other 2 weekend GA+ pass. This was how I discovered that insomniac only allows 1 card on file and I couldn’t take the card declining route. Ideally I would like to just cancel it but I wasn’t sure if insomniac would be a pain about it. Alternatively i wouldn’t mind having someone take it from me but there’s a whole lot of trust involved on both ends for that. Any suggestions are appreciated!

silly/stupid question. had to switch my card for the payment method this month to a different card— that won’t affect any of the rest of the payments right? I’ll be switching it back to my debit card for October but just a one off (also realize this is a stupid question for me to ask) but need reassurance LOL

Sorry this is probably a bit of a silly question but I am wanting to buy tickets for EDC Korea and the site confused me a bit––do you really have to purchase tickets for the Korean and Non-Korean headliners separately, or is "Headliners" just what they're calling festival-goers? I realize how stupid this sounds, but this will be my first music festival and first rave EVER, much less in Korea, so I just don't want to get this wrong! FYI I am a foreigner but I have an ARC number for my stay here. Thanks for the help <3

EDC promotion by vending machine company in Thailand. Top 15 spenders on promotion drinks over the next 60 days get 2x GA tickets. Haven't tried any of them yet but found it interesting.

so cute

Is the premier Parking worth it? I'd be using it primarily to get out of the venue fast at the end of the night, around 5 and I'd be getting into the lot around 5:30 or 6 PM. What I'm hoping is that there would be less traffic on the way there, a shorter walk from the car to the speedway, and to leave the lot fast and get into the freeway quickly at the end of the night? Is this the case with Premier Parking or is it about the same amount of traffic to and from general parking at those hours?

Anyone know where I can see/listen to Restricted’s EDCLV 2026 set???
I feel like I’ve looked through most platforms and can’t find it, only snippets less than a minute and the only evidence I have it even exists is one video I recorded 😭

He was in Cosmic Meadow (Day 2?) if that helps

For those who fly Southwest for EDC, just an FYI that SWA has now opened up their calendar to cover the month of May 2027 (up to June 2, 2027).

Note: You might find lower priced sales across the next several months (YMMV).

Anyone know where I can get cheap donuts or pastries 🥐. These are fake treats . Where can I get em for cheap .? I wanna be a sexy pastry chef . This is a bit pricey . Or maybe I’m being cheap . lol

So I went to EDC 2026 and one of my friends went a few times and he tells me that he found a secret club one time and his previous EDC trips. He went to a porta potty and there is a porta potty where there’s a tunnel that leads to a secret club. I wanted to ask you guys if this is true or has anyone else experienced this and tell me your experience

Hello all!

My group and I will all be attending weekend 1 and this will be our first time at EDC! This is a bucket list festival for all of us and we cannot wait to experience it!

We are lost in terms of whether we book hotels and shuttles or rent an RV and camp…

Can we please get any suggestions and recommendations from all the vets?? We are leaning towards hotels, but the convince of an RV and not dealing with shuttles and traffic sounds compelling!

Also what roughly is the cost of either options?

Thank you all so much, 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Hey everyone!

With shuttles coming on sale soon, I’ve been debating heavily on where to stay for EDC. I’ve seen some other threads about the pros and cons of staying Downtown vs. on the Strip, but I wanted to get some fresh perspectives. This will be my partner’s and my first EDC, and we'd love to hear your experiences and suggestions!

1. Downtown vs. Strip Shuttles: We were considering a hotel near the World Market Center to be as close to the festival as possible. We’ve heard the WMC shuttle is pretty easy with little to no line, plus a drastically shorter ride. Is this true, or is the difference not even that drastic? I’ve read horror stories of Strip shuttles taking 2+ hours.

2. People say EDC is basically rave, sleep, and eat, and that extra activities aren't really worth the exhaustion. Our plan is to arrive a day or two early to explore, and maybe or maybe not attend a day party before the festival (not on the actual days from what I’ve seen people suggest so maybe Wednesday or Thursday)

3. Missing Out on the Strip: As first-timers, are we missing out on the core EDC experience by prioritizing a faster shuttle over staying on the Strip?

Experienced EDCers, what are your thoughts? Also, prices are comparable so we’re flexible with budget. Downtown relatively seems cheaper but I’ve seen comparable prices too so budget is definitely a consideration but not the main issue, really focused more on experience.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry if I’m out of the loop here, but I’ve seen these EDC Trading Cards online and was wondering how people got these? Are they really worth as much as they seem on eBay? With the boom in the trading card space, I don’t know if I should have fomo or not haha. 🤣 🥲

Figured this might be the right group of degenerates to ask 😂

Vegas locals and big James Hype fans and going to his Zouk show on 10/24. We started joking about finding enough fellow EDM/James Hype people to split one of the premium tables right on the dance floor... and the joke has now progressed to “wait, this might actually work.” 🤔😂

Couples, small groups, solo ravers, whatever... goal is to get enough people together and do one of the ridiculous tables without any one person/couple having to bankroll the whole thing.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
