  • The biggest stop for Insomniac Events' Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) is Las Vegas. EDC is known for setting records for attendance and is held at one of the largest venues possible (The Las Vegas Motor Speedway). 345,000 attended EDC over three days, which means about 115,000 people entered the Motor Speedway each day. EDC is the largest festival in the nation for electronic dance music (EDM), which has taken off recently in the mainstream with DJs like David Guetta, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris, Afrojack, Skrillex, Deadmau5, and Bassnectar. Over 100 DJs like that were slated to perform at EDC 2012 Las Vegas. Day 1 went off without a hitch, and my girlfriend and I had a good time despite the 2-hour shuttle to the event. Afrojack, R3hab, Datsik, and Funtcase were our favorites. On Day 2, Insomniac promised streamlined traffic into the Motor Speedway, but it still was a 1.5 hour shuttle. Security lines added about 30 minutes to each day. We decided to go late to Day 2, since we didn't care for many of the DJs starting out early and we wanted to last the entire night to see Blue Man Group with Steve Aoki. During Calvin Harris at about 12:45am, the stage was shut down due to wind. We then moved to the Basspod, which was then shut down to wind. Sand was blowing in everyone's face. Soon, all the stages were shutdown and we sat down while Insomniac assured us that they expect the wind to die down and to re-open the stages. That never happened. We didn't get to see Blue Man Group with Steve Aoki. No one did. Insomniac's rare loudspeaker messages were vague, yet optimistic. We basically sat down for 2.5 hours with no entertainment. The one "stage" that was open was the "Wide Awake Art Car", a small vehicle with a weak sound system. On Day 3, we decided to leave a little bit early, but that didn't matter because the shuttle bus was back to 2 hours and security lines took over an hour (for my girlfriend). So, I missed Bunny of RITM and only caught the end of Feed Me. Major Lazer, David Guetta, and Avicii were our highlights. Due to Insomniac's treatment of the fans on Day 2, I can't recommend EDC Las Vegas or Insomniac events in general. I can't imagine what it is like to put together a festival of this size, but I expected at least a refund for the fiasco on Day 2. The only thing Insomniac did was let Day 2 pass holders in on Day 3, which probably caused longer lines on that day.
