Originally scheduled for May 2020 and then pushed to October 2020, EDC Las Vegas is now being moved again.

Organisers of EDC Las Vegas, where thousands of festival goers from more than a hundred different countries unite, have postponed this year’s massive edition at Las Vegas Motor Speedway from October 2 – 4, 2020 to May 21 – 23, 2021!

“The team & I have spent the last several months working to create a plan that would allow us to produce a safe event for you,” Insomniac founder and CEO Pasquale Rotella announced on Instagram today.

“We wanted to implement a free two-step testing program, one test at home before traveling to Las Vegas & another test at the venue when you arrived, in addition to many other enhanced safety protocols. Unfortunately, we just learned that the medical advances necessary to pull this off will not be ready in time, which is why I’m making this announcement today.”

Surrounded with carnival rides, art installations, performers, dancers, and the most stunning decor, revellers were set to party with the biggest names in electronic dance and Trance music including Aly & Fila, Key4050, Giuseppe Ottaviani Live 3.0, Andrew Rayel, Gouryella 2.0, Grum, Abraxis, ilan Bluestone, Kai Tracid, NWYR, Ben Nicky pres. Xtreme, Arty, Jason Ross, Vini Vici and Andrew Bayer.

The Trance-heavy lineup that was scheduled for this year also featured Paul van Dyk, Billy Gillies, Ahmed Romel, Cosmic Gate, Pierre Pienaar, Alessandra Roncone, Pathfinders and Markus Schulz.

For those who can’t make the new dates, visit edclasvegas.com/verify for refunds.

“Insomniac has been built on never giving up. We’re already working hard on next year’s show & we’ll be back with more energy than ever for our 25 Year Celebration. Until then — Peace, Love, Stay Positive & I’ll See You Under the Electric Sky!”

@EDC_LasVegas UPDATE: I know you’ve been waiting a long time & I want to THANK YOU for being so patient. Some have questioned why we haven’t postponed yet & I want to let you know what we’ve been up to. The team & I have spent the last several months working to create a plan that would allow us to produce a safe event for you. We wanted to implement a free two-step testing program, one test at home before traveling to Las Vegas & another test at the venue when you arrived, in addition to many other enhanced safety protocols. Unfortunately, we just learned that the medical advances necessary to pull this off will not be ready in time, which is why I’m making this announcement today. Regardless, I’m proud of our team for continuing to believe & work so hard throughout the process. This whole experience has truly been a wild ride. Here I am, a rave promoter, finding myself talking to biopharmaceutical companies about diagnostic tests for a novel virus while working with Nevada’s most prominent government officials. I’ve felt a lot of pressure wanting to come through for all of you & after taking time to exhaust every possible option, I can feel confident knowing this is the right decision. We are officially postponing EDC Las Vegas 2020 & will be returning May 21+22+23 of 2021 to celebrate 25 years of EDC. To everyone who chose to hang onto their ticket & stick with us during this time, THANK YOU! You’re the most amazing community I could ever hope to be a part of. It means the world to me. We would not be able to do any of this without your support. All 2020 passes, including Camp EDC & shuttles, will be honored for the new 2021 dates & will automatically transfer over. For those who would like a refund, go to edclasvegas.com/verify. Because some of you won’t be able to make the rescheduled dates, any tickets for EDC Las Vegas 2021 that become available will go back on sale Thursday, August 6 at 10am PT. Insomniac has been built on never giving up. We’re already working hard on next year’s show & we’ll be back with more energy than ever for our 25 Year Celebration. Until then— Peace, Love, Stay Positive & I’ll See You Under the Electric Sky!💜✨
