The
third and final night of the 17th annual Electric Daisy Carnival came to a safe
and successful close at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway with a sold-out crowd
gathering under the electric sky for the three-day event.
Animated
theatrical performers and interactive art installations enveloped the festival
grounds alongside eight art cars providing roaming entertainment, including the
Rockbox, a boom box-inspired vehicle that includes its own dedicated sound
system. An impressive fireworks display began at 2 a.m. while exemplary
pyrotechnics lit up all seven stages until dawn.
This
year’s Discovery Project showcased 30 aspiring DJ/producers, allowing them to
perform at their own dedicated stage in the heart of the festival grounds.
Alumni from last year’s competition also performed over the three nights,
promoting the development of emerging dance music talent.
An
estimated 80,000 fans gathered at Kinetic Field for the Night Owl Experience, a
brainchild of Insomniac CEO and Founder Pasquale Rotella. Incorporating unique
audiovisual elements and special effects, a theatrical cast took over the stage
alongside the 100-foot tall owl while hundreds of glowing beach balls dropped
from the sky and a spider’s web crawled over the sea of fans dancing below.
Thank you for allowing us to share this incomparable experience with the world,
and we look forward to continuing this journey as we venture overseas for the
first-ever EDC London, July 20 at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
