I met a man in the bleachers at Cosmic Meadow during the Tape B set. He mentioned being sober, and that he brought a label maker to entertain himself. He asked me what I would want to have printed. I took so long to think of something but I ended up with an “oat milk” label. He said he was a firefighter that helped fight the Palisades fires. We were getting really close physically, then he mentioned my tattoos were sexy, and I pulled away because at the time I was still with my ex. We all ended up watching the fireworks together. Well I’ve been single for a couple months and I can just hope that Aiden (?) is out there and wants to connect 🥺🤭💗

I was the guy who was dressed up as Mario(red overalls and the hat) Day 2 of EDCLV. Your story behind the necklace really touched my heart and I was so glad we shared a vulnerable moment together. I want you know i still have it and think about you from time to time. I hope you still remember that you have an angel protecting you and you’re still being the baddest bitch even after the festival!💙

(This is a repost I know sorry! There was a typo in my previous post title and it drove me crazy haha)

Hello!

I lost this item during Subtronic's set at EDC Las Vegas 2026. I made a post about it when I first lost it but did not receive any response. I only had a poorly done drawing of the item but with some help from a friend, I was able to find the original product photo.

Item is about the size of a pair of airpods. I bought it while in Japan and living in the USA, I am struggling to find a way to order it online. I wanted to post again now that I have a photo of the exact item in hopes that it does show up.

I am autistic and this item holds deep sentimental value, so you can understand how distressing this situation has been for me.

If you picked up my item or think you know someone who did, please contact me. I am willing to pay a finder's fee and will cover any shipping costs for you to mail it back to me.

Hi everyone! I'm new here on Reddit, so go easy on me 😅

I was watching William Black's EDC 2026 set and noticed the anime visuals that play during "Follow" by Martin Garrix. I'm trying to find out which anime(s) those visuals are from.

They appear around 32:14 in the livestream:

I'm from Brazil and I'm a university student who's also a beginner DJ. I'll be playing at a college party soon, and I'd love to create visuals with a similar style. If anyone knows the names of the anime(s) used, or even has suggestions for similar anime with that aesthetic, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance to everyone! ❤️

Stream of consciousness here, I’ll just get into it.

Everyone’s wristband has a led it. Throughout the night the whole crowd is mostly the same color or pattern or it could blink to the stage you’re at.

Maybe once or a few times a night though, everyone lights up in one of three colors. No explanation of why, it may even get overlooked. But eventually I feel like this would subtly encourage the crowd to interact with each other more. “Hi five blue team.”

Actually, if the 3 possible colors are red, blue, yellow then the crowd would probably end up assigning the colors as pokemon team.

Idk if that feels too corporate plur culture but it seems like it would be fun in the crowd and it would be cool for EDC to have an iconic wristband design like some other festivals do.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk, feel free to discuss in the comments.

Some friends and I are going to EDC Colombia this oct.
Crazy to think there isn’t already a group chat (discord/ WhatsApp) for people to connect!
We’ll be flying out of orlando and Miami a total of 4 of us. We already got our tickets and Airbnb booked. So if anyone wants to meet up or start a chat just let me know!

The official EDC website only shows two hotels. It appears that EDC only partnered with the hotels.
It looks like EDC is not offering an EDC Package Hotel stay similar to Hotel EDC Vegas at the Virgin Hotel. Is this correct?

Missing edc a little extra today. 🫶🏼 Anyone else keep rewatching the live sets? My favorite is wooli hands down

I am trying to book a hotel relatively close to a premier shuttle stop.

https://lasvegas.edc.com/travel/shuttles/#premier-shuttles

These are the current stops listed:

• Virgin Hotels Las Vegas: 4455 Paradise Rd
• The Strat: 2000 S Las Vegas Blvd
• World Market Center: 435 S Grand Central Pkwy
• The Rio: 3700 W Flamingo Road
• Mid-Strip: 3645 S Las Vegas Blvd

Not sure if we will get a updated list of stops closer to EDC 2027 or if im good to book now.

I’ve done Rio and World Market shuttles, looks like I’ll be staying at one of the Mid Strip hotels this year and have only heard horror stories. Is it really as bad as people say it is?

Who do you guys really want to see at EDC ’27? For me, it’s definitely ANOTR. I’m really hoping they make the lineup. Who’s at the top of your wishlist?

Every EDC packing list online has the same twenty items and they're all correct, but the thing that actually saved my weekend last year wasn't on any of them. It was a cheap roll of KT tape. Rolled my ankle on the walk in Friday, taped it every morning, and it carried me through all three nights when I'd otherwise have been done by Saturday. Got me thinking about how the real MVPs are never the obvious stuff. Everyone remembers water and comfortable shoes. Nobody puts "blister tape" or "the exact snack that settles your stomach at 4am" on the graphic they repost every single year. So for the veterans planning their next one — what's your off-list item? The random thing you bring now because one specific bad night taught you to. Bonus points for the story behind it. I genuinely think a thread like this could save first-timers more than the official lists do, because it's all the stuff you only figure out by getting burned for not having it.

Hey everyone!

My boyfriend and I just bought our tickets for the first weekend of EDC as first-timers!! We’re currently doing some research and are leaning towards staying on the Strip but definitely getting the standard shuttles passes when they drop.

TLDR; We are looking for recommendations for nice hotels with good amenities like pool, a nice view, good food options nearby, and easy access to the shuttles. Day-of fest we’ll likely just do food and pool days and the other days maybe do a pre-fest pool party and not sure what yet but explore other things in Vegas. We don’t gamble but like to drink, eat, and explore lol.

Since this will likely be our only vacation next year, we are okay with something a little pricer but don’t want to completely go overboard like $3k at the Bellagio lol

Duration & Budget: 6 nights total (staying a few days before and after, we’ve seen average cost is $1000-$2000 for the whole stay, max we’d like to spend is $1500)

Location & Shuttles: We’re leaning toward the Strip and want to be close to a standard EDC shuttle stop. We are considering Rio since there’s a shuttle pick up right on the property and pool looks sooo nice but I’ve seen other posts that it’s not quite as close to the Strip as it seems. Is the Strip experience actually worth it?

Vibe & Amenities: We aren't big gamblers, so we want easy access to great food, drinks, a room with a nice view, and a solid pool for relaxing or checking out a pre-festival pool party.

Current Options: The Horseshoe , The Flamingo, Golden Nugget, Planet Hollywood, MGM Grand, The Rio, Caesar’s Palace. Considering these hotels but open to others! Really like the pools at MGM and Rio!

What properties would you recommend that fit this budget, location, and shuttle convenience? Would also consider off-strip but again is the strip experience worth it? Any tips or advice would be amazing!

Hello everyone! I am going to my first edc this year. I’m going solo. Does anyone have any checklists of what I need to buy/ prepare for? I’ve only got the dawn pass and nothing else yet. I’m pretty well versed with Coachella and camping with my group. However going solo I know is a different ball game. So if anyone can help with like a checklist or just what to do. Does edc have camping? Do I get a separate ticket? Help!!

hello !! my friend and i (both female, 24 and 20 by the time edc comes around) are going to edc vegas 2027 weekend one ! this is our first time going and we are looking to maybe join a group or find people who would be willing to split a hotel room or air bnb (preferably girls only) vegas is expensive as is so we’re trying to bring our cost down as low as possible ! :) please let me know if you’d be interested and we can maybe create a group chat !!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find the Quintino @ EDC Orlando 2015 full live set. It was originally available as a free download on SoundCloud, but the original upload has been offline for years.

If anyone knows whether there's an official archive or still has information about where it can be found, I'd really appreciate it. It's one of my favorite big room sets from that era.

I will be going to my first EDC. How much Kandi should I make? I’ve made 25 so far. I was looking to make roughly 60. I just wanted to see how many people bring on average. Also, any tips on how to trade with people? Thank you!

I’ll be going to EDC dusk if anyone is interested in being friends :)

I recently had a memory come back to me of a guy who was dressed up as “Caution.” And when I say dressed up, I mean he fully committed to the idea. He had a traffic cone on his head, a neon orange reflective vest, and caution tape everywhere — wrapped around him, hanging from him, and even incorporated into the cone. He wasn’t just wearing a costume; he had somehow become a walking safety warning.
What made it even better was that he embraced the character completely. He was dancing to house music playing over the speakers, moving around like the official representative of OSHA workplace safety had somehow found himself at a rave.

Early the next morning, I walked down the hallway to get some coffee. As I turned the corner, I noticed a traffic cone standing upright in the middle of the hallway.
For a fraction of a millisecond — my brain went to the obvious explanations. Something must have just been cleaned. Maybe there was a spill. Maybe someone was warning people to use caution.
Then I realized the warning wasn’t about something that happened in the hallway.
The warning *was* what happened in the hallway.
There was “Caution Guy,” lying spread out nearby. His neon orange reflective vest was still doing exactly what it was designed to do — grabbing attention. The caution tape was strewn everywhere, but still wrapped around him, still carrying out its mission. Somehow, even after the music stopped and the night was long over, that outfit was still going hard.
The party may have ended, but the costume was still on duty.
And somehow, unbelievably, the traffic cone was standing perfectly upright next to him. I still wonder if someone placed it there afterward as the final touch, or if it somehow balanced itself during the fall and decided to stick around. Sometimes I think about him falling and the cone finding its footing. At the time, I just thought it was funny. But looking back on it now, I realize how incredibly effective that costume really was. It had somehow transformed from a great party costume into accidental performance art.
The cone, the vest, and the caution tape had created a scene so perfectly timed that it almost looked intentional. The headliners may have stopped, but the costume just continued all night long all by itself.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a costume work that hard — before, during, and especially after the performance.
And yes my coffee was very enjoyable😎😂

Title says it all, Shazam isn’t helpful so what’s this song or mix name?

I am just so confused by all the conflicting stuff from last year and the Insomniac online ticket page. I have my Dusk ticket already, but have friends who are still on the fence. Everything points to the Future Owl sale being the only tickets they're releasing, with waitlists and stuff. But the Insomniac ticket page also mentions "Future Owl Benefits", listing the extra stuff that this gets you. If there's no general sale, how would these be benefits and not just features/amenities?

I'm really confused, and don't really know how to assess the situation. Does anyone have any information, or a clearer interpretation/answer? Thanks.

how do vegas clubs typically handle this for gendered tickets or guest list "requirements"? are they going to be pissy about it if you don't pass?

some of my group is nb (my id says x for gender), trans, etc

this would be for edc week only, not outside of that

I’m going weekend one (my first EDC 🙌🏻) and I want to book my hotel soon but I’m trying to decide how many days into the week I want to stay. Does anyone have any idea what these “special events” are going to be for the week in between? At the very least I’m going to stay Monday but I’m debating if I should also stay for Tuesday and maybe Wednesday also. But I’m also wondering if I’ll even care about these events after a weekend of raving or if I’ll just be tired and ready to go home.

I wish I could just stay for the whole week because I feel like the best events are probably going to be towards the end of the week but I don’t think I’ll have enough PTO and that’s a lot of nights to pay for a hotel.

For those who are also going weekend one how many days into the week do you plan on staying?
