EDC Comes To NYC

posted in: Music News

Electric Daisy Carnival, America’s largest dance music festival, is moving to another city (yet again). This time, the minds behind Insomniac Events have brought the dance party to the east coast. The festival is known worldwide for stunning visual aspects, carnival rides, and superstar DJs, combined with ever-growing crowds. In five years, Insomniac has watched EDC grow from a 40,000 person concert in Southern California, to a three day-long, 230,000 person event in Las Vegas that has become a Mecca for electronic dance music fans worldwide. The festival was a staple in the LA music scene until the tragic death of a 15 year old in 2010. 2011 marked the biggest change for the creators of EDC, as they packed up and headed to Las Vegas (after LA all but banned raves). What ensued was completely unexpected; EDC has become even more popular than it’s finest years at the LA Coliseum.

There’s still no word from the promoters on the venue or line-up, but tickets go on sale at the end of the week (March 2^nd) so the info can’t be too far off. Be sure to keep an eye on this post, as we will update it with new information as it becomes available! In the meantime, check out the EDC website for more info.
