• EDC Las Vegas Expands To Two Weekends in 2027

  EDC Las Vegas to Expand to Two Weekends in 2027 for the First Time in Its History. In a landmark move for one of the world’s biggest electronic music festivals, Insomniac founder Pasquale Rotella has confirmed that EDC Las Vegas will expand to two weekends in 2027, marking a major evolution in the event’s 30-year history. The announcement comes just days after the 2026 edition wrapped at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where more than half a million fans gathered to celebrate the festival’s milestone anniversary. Known for its immersive production, large-scale stage design and round-the-clock atmosphere, EDC once again delivered its signature experience under the electric sky. Looking ahead, the 2027 edition will take place across two consecutive weekends: May 14–16, 2027 (DUSK) May 21–23, 2027 (DAWN) In addition to the festival itself, Insomniac is introducing an extended “Dusk Till Dawn Experience”, spanning 12 days from May 13 to May 24, 2027. This expanded format will place even greater emphasis on EDC Week, with additional programming planned throughout the gap between weekends. Further details are expected to be announced in the coming months. A key change for 2027 will be a reduced capacity per weekend, a move designed to improve crowd flow and enhance the overall attendee experience. Despite the split format, both weekends will feature the same lineup, ensuring fans receive a consistent offering regardless of which dates they attend. Accommodation options including Camp EDC and Hotel EDC will also operate across both weekends, giving attendees greater flexibility when planning their stay. In a notable shift, organisers have also confirmed more accessible ticket pricing. General admission passes will start at $399 USD per weekend, while fans looking to attend both weekends can purchase a combined Dusk & Dawn pass for $599 USD. Speaking on the announcement, Rotella shared his vision for the festival’s future: “I hope you can feel the excitement and see the vision for what Dusk Till Dawn will become. I can’t wait to share this experience with you under the electric sky.” While many major global festivals such as Tomorrowland, Coachella and Ultra Music Festival have adopted multi-weekend formats over the years, EDC Las Vegas has remained a single-weekend event throughout its three-decade run. This shift signals a significant new chapter for the brand as it continues to grow its global footprint. Tickets for EDC Las Vegas 2027 will go on sale Friday, May 22 at 12pm PT (5am Saturday May 23 AEST), with GA, GA+ and VIP options available via Front Gate. Given the scale of the announcement and the festival’s continued demand, strong interest is expected across both weekends. For fans around the world, 2027 is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious editions of EDC Las Vegas to date; not just bigger, but more expansive than ever before.
