The Electronic Dance Music scene isn’t just about the pulsating basslines, synths that send shivers down your spine, or the incredible lineups—it’s also about the vibrant community of artists and fans who bring these events to life with their unique forms of expression.
Then there are those dedicated to the art of flow arts—the Leviwand enthusiasts. And you have to admit, there’s nothing quite like being mesmerized by Leviwand artists who bring their glowing dance to life, perfectly in sync with the electric beats of the EDM world.
If you’re one of these passionate souls or simply curious about where your Leviwand can become a part of something bigger, here’s your ultimate guide to the top 7 EDM festivals across the globe.
1. Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) – Las Vegas, Nevada
You can’t talk wand-waving without whispering ‘EDC’ in the same breath. This behemoth of a festival has become synonymous with Las Vegas itself, so much that it has turned the Motor Speedway into a colossal carnival that radiates energy both literally and figuratively.
For Leviwand practitioners, EDC Las Vegas is a veritable playground. The festival runs over three exhilarating nights, offering uninterrupted music and stages that appear to soar into the Nevada sky. The crowd itself is a vibrant mosaic of individuals, each adorned with LED lights, glow sticks, costumes, and a little Sin City flair.
2. Tomorrowland – Boom, Belgium
When it comes to grandeur, Tomorrowland embodies the very essence of fantasy turned into reality. It’s as if this festival was conjured straight out of a dream, with stages that are seemingly designed by the fae folk themselves. The festival’s setting is designed to amplify the artistry of flow, as each flick, spin, and flutter syncs harmoniously with the fantasy ambience.
Tomorrowland also brings together a crowd from every continent with its world-renowned DJs—proof of music’s power to bridge cultures and languages.
3. Ultra Music Festival – Miami, Florida
Ultra Music Festival in Miami is often called the spring break of the Electronic Dance Music universe, welcoming not just the collegiate crowd but anyone tuned into the global EDM beat. Set against the iconic backdrop of Bayfront Park, Ultra serves up a mix of beach vibes and city lights. It’s this surreal, vibrant environment that turns every flick, twirl, and swirl of the Leviwand against the Miami skyline into viral content on TikTok or Instagram.
For the Leviwand lovers, the magic begins when the sun dips below the horizon; that’s your cue to light up. Just a head splash of techno and a sprinkle of salty sea air, and voilà!
As a bonus, Miami’s mix of cultures means you’re just as likely to end up learning a new Leviwand trick as a new dance move. Needless to say, it’s an immersive experience that encapsulates the diversity and dynamic energy of Miami itself.
4. Electric Forest – Rothbury, Michigan
Now, if EDC is the high-voltage heart of the EDM scene, Electric Forest is its soulful cousin who lives in the woods but throws an amazing party. This festival has turned the forests of Michigan into a luminescent fairyland.
The forest setting changes the game for Leviwand practitioners. The festival offers a venue for you to connect your art with the forces of nature. There’s also a communal atmosphere here that creates a feeling of belonging, where everyone — from seasoned Leviwand veterans to curious newcomers — is welcomed into the fold.
5. Shambhala Music Festival – Salmo, British Columbia
Heading up north, Shambhala is the music festival that feels like a well-kept secret, except it’s attended by thousands, and the secret is definitely out. Tucked away on a ranch in the pristine British Columbia wilderness, this festival is where you go to connect deeply—not just with the music or your wand, but with a community that’s all about nurturing creativity, wellness, and the human spirit.
Attendees, affectionately known as ‘Shambhalovelies’, are drawn to the festival’s unique blend of pulsating beats and serenity, set against the backdrop of a natural paradise. Here, the emphasis is on the ‘flow’ rather than the ‘show’, which encourages a more meditative and organic approach to the artform. It’s purely a space dedicated to the wellness of body and mind, allowing you to rebalance and center yourself amidst the celebration.
6. Defqon.1 – Biddinghuizen, Netherlands
Okay, you’ve had a taste of the mystical and the mainstream, now it’s time to get into the grit with Defqon.1. Located in the Dutch countryside, the stakes are high at Defqon.1, and the energy is higher. It embodies the spirit of hardstyle — hard-hitting, relentless, and profoundly electrifying.
Here, your Leviwand cuts through the air with the same intensity and precision that matches the hardcore beats. The stamina required to keep up with the pace of the festival is a testament to your passion and perseverance.
Each year, Defqon.1 concludes with the legendary “endshow,” a symphony of fireworks, flames, and laser shows that encapsulate the festival’s spirit. For Leviwand practitioners, this moment is both a climax and a catharsis.
7. Burning Man – Black Rock Desert, Nevada
Finishing off our list is Burning Man. Burning Man sets the scene in the vast, open expanse of the Nevadan Black Rock Desert. It’s a stark and magnificent backdrop that redefines the concept of a festival. Here it is less of a gathering and more of an exploration of human expression and self-reliance.
For Leviwand artists, Burning Man is the ultimate canvas. Each motion and color chosen by the artist adds depth to a narrative shared with an audience that is as much a part of the performance as the performer. Needless to say, the Leviwand community here thrives on collaboration and communal support.
