Everything You Need to Know about Virtual EDC

Without COVID-19, hundreds of thousands of people would be making their way to Las Vegas for the three-day festival this weekend. With EDC Las Vegas currently postponed to weekend of October 2, many people are bummed about the lack of weekend plans. No need to worry though! Virtual EDC will be happening this weekend in place of the physical festival.

Times

This virtual live stream will begin this Friday, May 15 at 5 pm PDT and continue until 2 am PDT. The festival will end on Sunday, May 17, at 2 am PDT, concluding a weekend of amazing music.

Virtual EDC Lineup

Kaskade, Afrojack, Benny Benassi, and David Guetta will be joined by many other artists. NGHTMRE will also be going b2b with Ghastly, for a set that no one should miss.

Charity

Virtual EDC has partnered with In Place of War to promote Rave Recovery. Rave Recovery is a relief fund that was specifically to help dance music fans that have been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. A portion of the proceeds earned from virtual EDC will go to support In Place of War’s COVID-19 Emergency Fund. This fund supports some of the world’s most vulnerable and impacted communities from this pandemic. If you’re able to donate, you can do so HERE. In Place of War is a non-profit charitable organization and therefore your donations will be tax-deductible!
