It is here and we are there.
The biggest electronic dance music festival in the world — the Quarter Pounder With Cheese of spectacles — the one and only Electric Daisy Carnival, is upon us once again.
We’ll be at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with around half-a-million of our closest friends through Sunday to take in the festivities from dusk till dawn and tell you all about it.
Check back here throughout the weekend for coverage of all things EDC.
In the meantime, here are some EDC do’s and don’ts to maximize the awesomeness of your festival experience.
And of course we’ve got some tips on navigating EDC traffic.
Looking for a hotel room to crash during the fest? It’ll cost you. Big time.
Hey, maybe you’re just trying to avoid the EDC crowds altogether? No probs. We’ve got you covered there, too.
For everyone else, throw on those fuzzy boots and let’s get after it.
