Finally. The official artist lineup for Electric Daisy Carnival 2012 in Las Vegas has been released. The spectacular event will take place on June 8-10 and will surely transform the entire sin city into a big EDM party! The confirmed A-list DJ’s that can be mentioned are Tiësto, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, Avicii, Benny Benassi, Afrojack, ATB, Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Bassnectar, Calvin Harris, Carl Cox, Dada Life, David Guetta, Erick Morillo, Kaskade, Knife Party, Porter Robinson, Richie Hawtin and more. There will be a seventh stage in addition to the six stages from last years’ EDC in Las Vegas. Also, all attendees will have free access to amusement rides and attractions at the 1,000-acre speedway complex along with an additional 500 theatrical performers, including fire twirlers, aerialists, dancers, and stilt walkers. All this will of course be accompanied with state-of-the-art lighting and sound production and nightly pyrotechnic displays.
“Last year’s introduction to Las Vegas was a remarkable event for Insomniac, gathering more than 230,000 people in the desert for an exciting new chapter in Electric Daisy Carnival history. As dance music continues to explode on a global scale, we’ll continue to push the boundaries of what makes Insomniac unique: a fully immersive festival experience that features hundreds of theatrical performers, interactive art installations, pyrotechnics and special effects, state of the art production, not to mention the largest stage in North America. I’m excited to share what we’ve been developing since last year’s show with our incredible fans.” – Pasquale Rotella, founder and CEO of Insomniac Events.
This years’ EDC is expecting more than 300,000 attendees, which translates into 25% more EDM fanatics than Electric Daisy Carnival 2011, which in fact was the first ever held party in Las Vegas after its move from Southern California where it was held for 13 consecutive years until its move to Nevada in 2011. 300k is a pretty impressive number, so it is probably worth some planning ahead by getting your hotel booked as the event is closing up.
