EDC transforms the 1,000-acre Las Vegas Motor Speedway into one of the world’s largest dancefloors. And with more than 100 acts on the lineup this year, your dance card can fill up fast. Be sure to make room in your schedule for these must-see acts.

Meduza

(Friday, Circuit Grounds Stage) This Italian trio can take an Irish bluesman like Hozier and turn him into an absolute club king. Their collaboration, “Tell It to My Heart,” is an unexpected marriage of worlds, and it comes off inexplicably right. Meduza is well-versed in this sort of magic, always keen to find the rare voice in a stack of sameness, a house vessel ready to relay epic stories. –Amber Sampson

Evan Giia

(Friday, Cosmic Meadow Stage) If this Brooklyn-based artist sounds familiar, it’s probably because she just blew the roof off Louis the Child’s latest single. A trained opera singer, Giia has started to pick up steam on more dance remixes, and her wavy bass hit “Westworld” checks all the boxes of an epic electronic anthem. –AS

Kx5

(Saturday, Circuit Grounds Stage) Dance and electronic music icons Kaskade and deadmau5 first collaborated on ubiquitous 2008 chill track “I Remember.” After the challenges of COVID, the pair have been revisiting dance sounds from a bygone era. They’ve released single “Escape,” an ethereal groove with vocals from Hayla, and they’ll make their global debut together as Kx5 at EDC. –Brocke Radke

HoneyLuv

(Saturday, Stereobloom Stage) A good open-format DJ reads the room. Great ones, like Honeyluv, command it. The LA-based DJ, who played NCAA basketball and served in the U.S. Navy, bounces between afrobeat, techno, R&B, hip-hop and house. Her most popular track, “Your Tongue,” reflects her flirty persona, while “Thr33 6ix 5ive” brings that feel-good vibe to the dancefloor. –AS

Blunts & Blondes

(Saturday, Basspod Stage) This Florida-bred bass man has been smoking the dubstep competition for years. A student of classic dub, reggae and hip-hop, Blunts & Blondes keeps the energy high with hair-raising drops and heaters like “Bring It Back.” His latest album, Story of a Stoner, places hip-hop at the forefront. –AS

Illenium

(Sunday, Kinetic Field Stage) If you aren’t in your feelings by the end of an Illenium set, you haven’t been listening. The Denver DJ’s career-starting trilogy (Ashes, Awake and Ascend) put him on the map as an evocative EDM artist, unafraid to tap into themes of addiction and battered love, while latest album Fallen Embers is a collection of heartfelt and healing material. –AS

Wax Motif

(Sunday, Cosmic Meadow Stage) G-house, or “gangster house,” wouldn’t be the same without Wax Motif, the Australian tastemaker who helped pioneer the hardcore house-rap movement. The producer has worked beside EDM mainstays like Tchami and released scorching remixes for Chromeo and YG, and his own “Skank N Flex” contains one of the wildest drops we’ve heard in years. –AS

TSHA

(Sunday, Cosmic Meadow Stage) Lauded as “London’s Next DJ Hero” by NME, TSHA brings thoughtful, intricate mixes to the decks. The self-taught producer’s collab with U.K. singer Gabrielle Aplin, “Change,” floats between house and electro-pop, while “Sister”—a heartwarming single about TSHA discovering she had a half-sibling—flourishes with euphoric dance beats. –AS
