Electric Daisy Carnival returns June 21-23

Electric Daisy Carnival returns to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for its 17th annual celebration on June 21, 22 and 23. EDC Week also returns to Las Vegas for an entire week of nightclub and day club events, a music conference and other special surprises spanning the week of June 18–25.

With more than 320,000 fans gathering under the desert sky this past summer, Electric Daisy Carnival claimed the title of North America’s largest music festival of any genre. EDC 2012 sold out weeks in advance , with attendance reaching 115,000 fans in a single night. Tickets are sold out for this year’s event as well.

“Electric Daisy Carnival 2012 was really special to us,” said Pasquale Rotella, founder and CEO of Insomniac, the event’s producer . “In addition to it being the largest gathering of music fans in North America this summer, the energy, love and sense of community surpassed anything we have ever experienced. It was humbling and inspirational.”

Insomniac transformed the 1,000-acre complex into a fully immersive audiovisual adventure with more than 150 musical acts, 500 theatrical performers and 12 large-scale interactive and flame-wielding art installations, along with state-of-the-art lighting and sound production and nightly pyrotechnics displays.

“Safety and the fan experience have always been and will always be our top priority,” Rotella said. “We listen to our fans and accept their guidance. Our team is already working diligently with Las Vegas, the local authorities and the speedway to improve traffic flow to make EDC 2013 the best experience yet. And, of course, we’re also brewing new imaginative ideas for next year!”

Fan and artist shuttles and taxis will have a newly dedicated route to the speedway in 2013 to minimize the effect on traffic. The parking staff has been increased to move and park cars more quickly , and there will be additional lanes in and out of the event.
