The
second night of the Electric Daisy Carnival had come to a thundering close
after welcoming a sold-out crowd to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The
dusk-till-dawn festivities featured more than 65 musical acts, including
up-and-coming artists from this year’s Discovery Project. This year, winners
were expanded beyond aspiring DJ/producers to include winning selections from
the art installation, stage, and costume design categories.
Adding
to the completely immersive setting of the festival grounds, more than 30
carnival rides, five Ferris wheels, and 20 large-scale art
installations—including the re-imagined Electric Daisy—encouraged fans to
explore and engage with their surroundings. The 125-foot structure featured LED
lights and white petals spanning 45 feet as fans danced beneath its warm glow.
The bassCON stage unveiled a brand new design that engulfed the DJ booth at the
mouth of a 65-foot-tall, apocalyptic Cyclops, surrounded by 26 large,
graffiti-stained steel containers and crushed automobiles.
Returning
for the second year, the VIP Dining Deck welcomed festivalgoers as they enjoyed
spectacular views of the kineticFIELD and a three-course meal prepared by Chef
Keven Lee in conjunction with Kitchen24. Drawing inspiration from the energetic
atmosphere, items such as the Electric Fruit Bowl—a pineapple shell of tropical
fruits, honeyed yogurt, and organic crunch power granola sprinkled on top—were
served throughout the night until 4 a.m.
Free
water was provided to fans throughout the night at the four water stations
throughout the grounds. New dining options were also available, including a
number of gourmet food trucks and a fruit stand blending fresh smoothies
throughout the evening.
