From Friday, June 19 through Sunday, June 21, hundreds of thousands of members of the dance music community will descend upon the Entertainment Capital of the World for an electronic dance music experience unlike any other.
While the music is truly secondary to the experience curated by Insomniac Events and visionary CEO Pasquale Rotella, it is difficult to overlook a talent-laden lineup bursting with some of the most influential producers on the planet.
Though there are technically no ‘headliners’ at EDC Las Vegas, there are certainly specific world-renowned performers that will draw the majority of the crowd once they step to the stage.
We’re here to dig a little bit deeper into the bill and encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone and experience something that will leave you wanting more.
Below are 10 EDC Las Vegas performances guaranteed to surprise you:
