Las Vegas Is Going Full Rave Mode: 12 Days of EDC
Headliners, get ready! Insomniac is bringing the energy to Las Vegas with the announcement of 12 Days of EDC 2027: Dusk Till Dawn, taking over the city May 13–24. From returning fan-favorite experiences like Hotel EDC to exciting new additions, the extended celebration promises to bring the festival spirit far beyond the Speedway.
With citywide parties, immersive art exhibitions, exclusive shopping experiences, and all-night celebrations, EDC is turning Las Vegas into a rave destination around the clock. Whether you’re a longtime Headliner or experiencing the EDC magic for the first time, there’s plenty to explore before, between, and after festival weekends.
So, what exactly does Insomniac have in store? Let’s dive in!
World Party Parade Returns for Round Two
Following the success of its inaugural edition in 2026, the World Party Parade is returning for another celebration of music, creativity, and community. This free, all-ages, family-friendly electronic dance music parade will bring people from around the world together in the spirit of what makes rave culture special: love, unity, and a shared passion for dance music.
Expect a vibrant showcase of creativity and connection as Headliners take to the streets to celebrate the culture that brings us together.
Pop-Up Events and Parties Take Over Las Vegas
The EDC experience doesn’t stop at the festival gates. Throughout all 12 days, Las Vegas will transform into an extension of the festival, with pop-up events and parties taking over warehouses, nightclubs, city landmarks, art galleries, and unexpected spaces across town.
Opening and closing parties will bookend the festival weekends, with additional celebrations happening throughout the city and at Camp EDC. Select events will be free for Dusk Till Dawn Headliners, making it easier to keep the party going beyond the Speedway.
Introducing the Inaugural Map Point Summit
Inspired by the underground rave tradition of using “map points” to guide partygoers to secret gatherings, Insomniac is introducing the Map Point Summit, a new gathering designed for those passionate about electronic music, rave culture, and the community shaping its future.
Reimagining the original concept for a new generation, Map Point aims to help attendees navigate their journey into rave culture while exploring opportunities and connections within the music industry.
Taking place at Hotel EDC, the summit offers a new way for Headliners to connect with the culture, the community, and what comes next.
The Insomniac Concept Store Makes Its Debut
For the first time, Insomniac is launching its own dedicated Insomniac Concept Store, bringing together fashion, merchandise, music, special collaborations, and limited-edition pieces created specifically for the 12 Days of EDC.
Headliners can look forward to artist meet-and-greets, special DJ appearances, exclusive releases, and a vinyl shop stocked with both new releases and old-school electronic music records. A selection of EDC festival merchandise will also be available for purchase.
Located at Hotel EDC, the Concept Store will be open throughout all 12 days, giving fans plenty of opportunities to shop exclusive drops and discover something special.
Beyond the Rave: Celebrating Underground Art and Culture
Rave culture has always been about more than the music, and Beyond the Rave is bringing that creative spirit into the spotlight.
This free art exhibition will celebrate the artists and visual culture that have grown alongside the underground electronic music scene. Featuring established and internationally recognized artists alongside creatives from within the electronic music community, the exhibition will showcase an eclectic mix of photography, graffiti, paintings, rave flyers, poster art, sculptures, collectibles, and more.
Located at Hotel EDC, Beyond the Rave will be open throughout all 12 days, giving Headliners the chance to explore the artistic side of rave culture between festival adventures.
Shop the Rave Community at The Marketplace
Looking to discover your next favorite artist, find a unique piece for your collection, or upgrade your festival style? The Marketplace is bringing together creators, makers, artists, and independent businesses from across the rave community.
Headliners can browse an eclectic selection of fashion, art, vinyl records, collectibles, technology, sound, design, and plenty of other surprises. With independent creators and community-driven businesses at the forefront, The Marketplace offers a chance to support the people and ideas that help make rave culture what it is.
Located at Hotel EDC, this free experience will be open Tuesday through Thursday.
Camp EDC: Twelve Days of Camping, Community, and Chaos
For the first time, Camp EDC pass holders will have the opportunity to make the campground their home for all 12 days of the Dusk Till Dawn celebration, creating an extended experience that bridges both festival weekends.
Each weekend will officially kick off on Thursday at The Mesa, where Opening Parties will keep the energy flowing from sunset to sunrise. And when the festival wraps up, the party won’t necessarily be over: Monday Morning After-Parties will give campers one more chance to dance long after the main event ends.
Between weekends, Camp EDC will transform into a hub for connection, creativity, and rejuvenation, featuring health and wellness activities, creative workshops, a retro arcade, live painting, Vendor Village, all-night parties, art installations, and so much more.
Located across from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Camp EDC is exclusive to Camp EDC pass holders and offers a chance to make the entire 12-day celebration feel like one extended rave community.
Hotel EDC: Your Home Base for the Ultimate EDC Experience
Returning as a central hub for the celebration, Hotel EDC will transform Virgin Hotels Las Vegas into an immersive EDC destination, offering a mix of free and ticketed experiences throughout all 12 days.
Whether you’re staying on-site or stopping by between adventures, Headliners can look forward to pool parties, after-parties, wellness activities, beauty and glam services, interactive experiences, surprise programming, and more.
From daytime poolside sessions to late-night celebrations, Hotel EDC brings the festival atmosphere into the heart of Las Vegas, giving Headliners even more ways to immerse themselves in the EDC experience.
Twelve Days. Two Weekends. One Unforgettable Celebration.
With the return of beloved traditions and the introduction of exciting new experiences, Insomniac is taking EDC beyond the Speedway and into every corner of Las Vegas. From underground-inspired gatherings and immersive art to all-night campground celebrations, 12 Days of EDC 2027: Dusk Till Dawn is shaping up to be much more than a festival—it’s a citywide celebration of electronic music, creativity, and community.
Mark your calendars for May 13–24, 2027, and get ready, Headliners. In Las Vegas, the party is just getting started.
