With much anticipation and excitement, we're only a few months from one of the best festivals of the year. EDC Las Vegas 2018 comes at us this year a little earlier than we're used to. With a May weekend, we're hoping for a little less intense heat and some (relatively) cooler nights out in the Nevada desert.

Like every year, EDC Vegas exceeds our expectations. Just take a look at the lineup!

In celebration of Insomniac’s 25th anniversary, fans will see the premiere of five brand-new EDC stage designs for kineticFIELD, circuitGROUNDS, neonGARDEN, bassPOD and the new open-air quantumVALLEY experience. In addition, fans will enjoy once-in-a-lifetime performances from their favorite artists at cosmicMEADOW, wasteLAND and the brand-new Insomniac Records stage.

New to the festival this year, Headliners will also be treated to early-entry opening ceremonies on the cosmicMEADOW lawn beginning daily at 4 p.m., including extended sets from different artists just before sunset.

This year, headliners will have the option to camp near the venue, with engaging and relationship building activities during the daytime to meet their fellow campers and enjoy Las Vegas from a completely different angle. While we're all excited for these new changes, one of the most noteworthy upgrades we'll see is less traffic in and out of the raceway, resulting in a win for all attendees.

Dear Las Vegas,

I really don't know what you have in store for us this year, but you never fail to be an amazing time. I'll see you again soon.
