Insomniac announced today the details of its highly anticipated EDC Week, a collection of electronic dance music events to supplement Electric Daisy Carnival’s return to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The EDM celebration begins Tuesday, June 5 and continues through EDC, with its final events taking place Monday, June 11. Those without tickets to the three-day fest at the Speedway can look forward to a number of sets by popular EDM artists (many are playing EDC, some are not), pool parties and the already-announced Bassrush Massive (the only off-Strip event). The majority of the nightlife events are at Tao Group-owned venues, as the company partnered with Insomniac to make the seven days of EDM happen.
Although many of the acts are either residents or Vegas regulars, there are a few names sure to please EDM enthusiasts. Among them is Richie Hawtin, who played two sets at last year’s EDC – one under his Plastikman alias. This year’s EDC goers won’t see Plastikman, but they can get an extra Hawtin fix at Drai’s that Thursday.
The entire schedule for EDC Week is as follows:
