Core Expansion Details
Insomniac announced that Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas 2027 will span two consecutive weekends, creating a 12-day festival. “EDC Dusk” runs May 14-16 and “EDC Dawn” runs May 21-23 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Single-weekend general-admission passes start at $399 (or $399.99); a combined “Dusk Till Dawn Experience” pass starts at $599 (or $599.99). Ticket sales open Friday, May 22, noon PT.
Data & Statistics
The two weekends will be linked by additional “EDC Week” events. Ticket tiers for a single weekend include GA ($399/$399.99), GA+ ($499.99) and VIP ($899.99); two-weekend GA starts at $599.99, GA+ at $899.99, VIP at $1,699.99. Insomniac said venue capacity will be reduced, though exact numbers were not released. 2026 attendance averaged roughly 200,000 per day, with over 450 artists on 18 stages.
Official Statements & Responses
Founder Pasquale Rotella framed the two-weekend format as the next evolution of EDC, describing it as an immersive journey that lets fans attend one or both weekends. He linked the lower capacity to reduced road, air and hotel congestion and to more space on dance floors. Rotella also said ticket pricing has been adjusted to levels from a decade ago.
Why It Matters
The split-weekend schedule is intended to ease crowding on the Motor Speedway and surrounding infrastructure, potentially improving traffic flow, hotel availability and air travel logistics. Lower ticket prices aim to broaden access for both veteran and new attendees, supporting festival growth while preserving its large-scale production.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
All sources agree on dates, ticket tiers and the goal of reduced capacity, but none disclose the specific capacity figure. Ticket price listings differ by a few cents ($399 vs. $399.99). The lineup, stage designs and citywide ancillary events remain unannounced, leaving details of the artistic program unresolved.
