EDC Las Vegas goes to two weekends in 2027 with Dusk and Dawn

EDC Las Vegas will run across two weekends in 2027. Insomniac split next year's festival into EDC Dusk on May 14 to 16 and EDC Dawn on May 21 to 23, both at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, with a 12-day stretch of events around the city in between that it is calling Dusk Till Dawn.

The news landed three days after the 2026 edition wrapped. This year was a sold-out 30th anniversary, with more than 450 artists across 18 music areas and art cars, and the Speedway has been the festival's home since 2011. Rumors of a second weekend had been going around for a week before gates opened, and Pasquale Rotella teased "a special announcement" on his Instagram story before the official post went up.

The bigger change might be the crowd size. Insomniac said the 2027 event is "being designed to have lower capacity," so each weekend should feel a little less packed than the single-weekend format. Rotella said he wanted to "reimagine EDC as a new type of immersive journey across 12 days" and called Dusk Till Dawn "the next evolution of EDC."

What hasn't been explained yet is how the two weekends will differ. Insomniac said headliners can choose whether to play one weekend or both, and the lineups and the citywide programming between the weekends will be announced later.

Passes can be bought for either weekend on its own or for both. Launch pricing, all-in:

• One weekend: GA $399.99, GA+ $499.99, VIP $899.99
• Both weekends: GA $599.99, GA+ $899.99, VIP $1,699.99
