EDC 2026 Dates Confirmed for May 15-17
We’re not even done with the 2025 edition but this is probably one of the most important EDC Vegas updates. As if the excitement for EDC 2025 wasn’t enough, Insomniac just dropped the dates for EDC’s 30th anniversary in 2026. Spotted on a taxi billboard in Las Vegas, the teaser confirmed May 15-17, 2026 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. With the “Dirty 30” theme already building hype, now is the perfect time to book hotels early to secure the best rates and availability.
Win a Meet and Greet with Eurotrash at BeatBox BeatBus
EDC 2025 brings fans an exciting chance to meet their favorite duo Eurotrash, powered by BeatBox. The first fifty Headliners who stop by the BeatBox BeatBus on Saturday from 11:55 PM to 12:25 AM might score a wristband for an exclusive meet and greet. There’s no catch. All you have to do is show up early, be one of the first in line, and you’re in. Consider this your sign to set a reminder because these wristbands are limited to the first 50 people only.
The Great Pokémon and Kandi Meetup Returns for 2025
Ravers both new and seasoned know that community is the heartbeat of EDC. The 11th Annual Great Pokémon and Kandi Meetup is happening once again on May 17, 2025, right at the Rainbow Road entrance. This fan-favorite gathering will host two meetup times, the first from 9:30 PM to 10:30 PM, and again from midnight to 12:30 AM. Expect to swap kandi, meet fellow Pokémon fans, and celebrate unity under the electric sky. If you’re entering from Rainbow Road, you can’t miss it.
BOGO Drinks for EDC Headliners at Airoma Cafe
If you’re looking for pre-festival fuel or a pick-me-up after the afters, head to Airoma Cafe Las Vegas. Show your EDC 2025 wristband and get a buy-one-get-one-free drink deal. The offer runs from May 16 to May 19. The rules are simple—limited to one free drink per person, and your wristband must be worn at the time of payment. It’s a great way to save while you sip and recharge for the night ahead.
