EDC Las Vegas Reveals 12 Days of Dusk Till Dawn Programming for 2027 Edition

3 hours ago 9

Insomniac is celebrating 12 days of EDC Las Vegas next year with Dusk Till Dawn experience programming outside of the festival grounds, including the World Party Parade and more.

Expansion is always on Insomniac‘s mind, especially when it comes to its flagship festival, Electric Daisy Carnival. Over the past few decades, the brand has grown to host satellite editions worldwide, while its biggest experience in Las Vegas has steadily expanded its presence. Next year will bring the biggest shift for EDC Las Vegas as it moves to two weekends for a Dusk Till Dawn experience dance music lovers won’t want to miss. But the main shows on May 14-16 and May 21-23 aren’t the only offerings that the festival will bring this year.

Today, Insomniac revealed details about the 12 Days of Dusk Till Dawn experience, which will extend EDC Las Vegas’s reach well beyond the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This includes opening parties on May 13 and after-parties on May 17 for the Dusk weekend, alongside another set of pre-parties and closing parties bookending Dawn weekend. But that’s only the start of the madness, as what’s set to take place between the two weekends is sure to excite attendees.

I’m really excited to introduce 12 Days of ‘Dusk Till Dawn’ and expand the EDC experience beyond the festival weekends. We’re creating new ways for Headliners to experience the music, art, culture, and connection that make this community so special. We’ve always believed in pushing ourselves creatively and finding new ways to bring people together. Most importantly, we’re building this for our community. A place to dance, connect, discover, create, learn, meet new people, see old friends, and hopefully make some memories you weren’t expecting.

The first big announcement: the World Party Parade, which debuted this year, will return. This free, all-ages, family-friendly event will feature music, energy, and plenty of PLUR right on the Las Vegas Strip, with the anticipated date set for Thursday ahead of the Dawn weekend.

Beyond the opening and closing parties each weekend, a plethora of pop-up events will take place throughout Las Vegas, whether at landmarks, art galleries, or other unexpected places. Select events will be free for Dusk Till Dawn Headliners, so keep your eyes peeled.

Hotel EDC, on sale now, will host a few experiences of its own. But don’t worry, as you won’t need to stay there to access them. This includes the Beyond the Rave Art Show, an exhibition open all 12 days of EDCLV, featuring established artists in the electronic music community. Expect plenty of photography, graffiti, rave flyers, and more.

A new concept called Map Point Summit will also take place at Hotel EDC. This new gathering will bring people who love rave culture and want to shape the future of the scene. While its name draws upon the underground rave tradition of map points, the event will bring the idea into the future with a new purpose: to help people navigate their journey in the dance music industry.

Additionally, Hotel EDC will host the Insomniac Concept Store and Marketplace. The concept store will have everything from limited-edition pieces and special collaborations to artist meet-and-greets and a vinyl shop. Meanwhile, the Marketplace will feature creators, makers, artists, and independent businesses from the rave community, Tuesday through Thursday.

These are the latest additions to be announced for EDC Las Vegas this year, as the festival already rolled out initial details for Hotel EDC and Camp EDC over the summer. Stay tuned for more information, including on-sale dates, lineups, and more, to surface in the coming months.

Passes for EDC Las Vegas are not currently on sale, but are expected to return in the coming weeks. Check Front Gate for availability if you haven’t locked in your passes yet. To guarantee your experience, you can purchase a Hotel EDC room and add a ticket at the time of booking.
