COVID-19 GUIDELINES
Headliners will need to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of entering the festival. A photo of your vaccination card, digital vaccine record, or negative test results on your phone will also be accepted.
Masks are not required but are recommended for your safety. Bring one along just in case.

WEATHER
The weather predictions for the weekend are looking strong but Las Vegas won’t be as warm as Headliners are used to. Daytime is predicted to stay cloudy all weekend long with highs in the 80s. Nighttime, however, will cool off significantly as we should expect the weather to remain in the mid-50s. While that isn’t necessarily chilly, it wouldn’t hurt to bring a light jacket along.
CAMPING ESSENTIALS AND MAP
Unlike most camping festivals, EDC provides a multitude of amenities to keep you comfortable throughout your stay. Tents are provided, along with AC, though you should consider bringing warm clothing to maximize comfort throughout the night. Attendees will be assigned pods depending on the type of camping purchased, making your entry as smooth and quick as possible.
Don’t forget your essentials like medication, your ID, a portable phone charger, and general hygiene products. Camp EDC offers plenty within the campgrounds, but it never hurts to come prepared.
We’re aware that many Headliners will be staying on the Strip as well. Keep scrolling to find out what you can do to keep yourself busy during EDC Week.

CAMP EDC ACTIVITIES
Camp EDC will serve as a mecca for those crashing in the festival grounds. There are a boatload of activities, such as a ferris wheel, dance classes, a roller disco, goat yoga, massage therapy, spa services, and much more.
Camp EDC offers many ways to keep the party going as well. There are daily pool parties located within the Mesa, including a Thursday Night Kickoff Party featuring the likes of Dom Dolla, John Summit, Torren Foot, and more. There will also be a post-EDC party on the final day ending at 10AM.

EARLY ARRIVAL CELEBRATIONS
For those of you looking to maximize your EDC Las Vegas experience, it would behoove you to arrive a bit early this year. While the festival itself will kick off at 7PM, Insomniac has scheduled a stacked slate of dance music talent performing as early as 5. This means doors will be open slightly earlier at the cosmicMEADOW, where you can catch SIDEPIECE, Solardo B2B Vintage Culture, and more.

SET TIMES
The most important part of the festival: who’s playing and where.
EDC Las Vegas hosts a total of eight stages, as well as a few art cars and smaller stages throughout the venue. Even if you miss someone at the fabled kineticFIELD stage, there’s a chance you could catch them at the Corona Electric Beach. Keep in mind, however, it may be best to go with the flow if you don’t want to meticulously plan out who you’ll see.
