The L.A. promoters behind the massive Electric Daisy
Carnival festival in Las Vegas announced its 2013 dates today: June 21, 22 and
23. Last year tickets sold out "weeks" before the party, according to
an EDC statement. Crowds peaked at 115,000 on one of the three days last summer
while the other nights saw six-figure or near six figure attendances as well. This
will be the 17th annual edition of the party that started in L.A. but left town
after controversy in 2010 softened political support for holding it at the
publicly run L.A. Coliseum near USC. Now they’re moving to Chicago. Insomniac is bringing EDC to Chicago this
Memorial Day Weekend. The event, held at the Chicago land Speedway, will boast
capacity levels as large as EDC Las Vegas and will be the first and only EDC to
offer overnight camping options directly adjacent to the festival grounds. Insomniac
is gearing up for a massive nationwide Road to Vegas festival experience. This
year, EDC will make its first ever stop in the Midwest to bring our world
class, fully immersive audiovisual experience to thousands of headliners in
Chicago. This is the first time EDC will make a stop in Chicago or anywhere in
the region before heading to Las Vegas for the largest event of its kind June
21-23. In 2012, EDC Las Vegas attracted over 320,000 attendees over the span of
three days. Insomniac has also announced EDC stops in New York, Puerto Rico,
and Orlando in 2013, with the hint that one additional city will be added.
Denver and Dallas have hosted the festival in the past but it’s not likely the
event will return to either of those cities. It amazes me how large these
events are getting and how they are spreading across the nation so quick.
Electronic music seems to slowly but surely moving up on the charts and making
a take over .
