EDC Las Vegas, one of the world’s largest electronic dance music festivals, is set to take place May 16 to 18, 2025, at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Organizers expect hundreds of thousands of fans to attend the multiday gathering.
The festival features live music performances, art installations, carnival rides, and circus performers across the vast venue. The event, produced by Insomniac Events, began as a warehouse party in Los Angeles in 1997 before relocating and growing into a major production in the Nevada desert.
Beyond the main festival grounds, attendees have access to other experiences. Hotel EDC returns for 2025 with a new location at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, offering a dedicated weekend stay from May 16 to 19 with themed rooms and exclusive activities.
Hotel guests can access pool parties held throughout the weekend, starting May 15. The events feature various artists, including Day Trip hosts like Adam Ten and Gorgon City, Confession artists like Malaa and Tchami, and Lost In Dreams acts such as Adventure Club and MitiS. Additional offerings at the hotel include wellness sessions and themed photo opportunities.
Within Camp EDC at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, BACARDÍ Rum is establishing an immersive activation called The Oasis. Running concurrently with the festival from May 16 through 18, the Oasis offers a tropical-themed pool party experience.
Open to festivalgoers aged 21 and older, The Oasis provides custom cocktails crafted for the event, shaded areas for relaxation, and DJ sets throughout the day from artists like Martin Garrix, Tiësto, Dom Dolla, Sara Landry, Alesso, Fisher, Kaskade, DJ Snake, Alok, Zedd, Rezz, Peggy Gou, and The Chainsmokers.
Artists scheduled to perform across the main festival stages also include Martin Garrix, Tiësto, Dom Dolla, Sara Landry, Slander, and Mochakk, among others. The gathering brings together art, technology, and music under a landscape of light and sound.
A spokesperson for BACARDÍ described The Oasis as a "cultural celebration that blends the rhythms of the Caribbean with the pulse of electronic dance music."
