Insomniac to expand EDC Las Vegas to two weekends in 2027

Insomniac said on May 20 that EDC Las Vegas will run across two weekends in 2027, a first for the festival, with a new “Dusk Till Dawn” format built around separate “EDC Dusk” and “EDC Dawn” editions. The company said the first weekend will run May 14-16 and the second May 21-23 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, with a broader run of themed events in Las Vegas between the two festival weekends. (lvms.com) Billboard reported the move after EDC Las Vegas 2026 sold out during the festival’s 30th-anniversary year. Fox 5 Vegas and Las Vegas Motor Speedway said the expanded concept is designed as a 12-day experience stretching through the city as well as the speedway. ### How will the two weekends be organized? (lvms.com) May 14-16 has been designated “EDC Dusk,” while May 21-23 will be “EDC Dawn,” according to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Fox 5 Vegas. Insomniac said fans will be able to buy access to either individual weekend or both weekends together. The “Dusk Till Dawn” concept also includes events in Las Vegas between the two festival weekends. Las Vegas Motor Speedway said the full experience runs from May 13-24, while Fox 5 Vegas described the citywide portion as running May 14-24. Both accounts describe curated EDC-themed events outside the main festival grounds. (lvms.com) ### What will tickets cost? General admission pricing starts at $399.99 for one weekend and $599.99 for both weekends, Las Vegas Motor Speedway said. Fox 5 Vegas reported the same starting prices for one- and two-weekend passes. (lvms.com) May 22 at 12 p.m. Pacific is when tickets are scheduled to go on sale, according to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The speedway also said layaway plans will be available starting with a $5 deposit. ### Why is Insomniac making the change now? EDC Las Vegas 2026 sold out, Billboard reported, after marking “30 years Under the Electric Sky.” The outlet said this year’s edition helped set up the expansion announcement for 2027. (lvms.com) More than 450 artists played the 2026 edition, according to coverage cited in the reporting around the announcement, with acts including Martin Garrix and Tiësto among the names attached to the sold-out anniversary festival. (lvms.com) That scale has been part of the context for the 2027 change. ### Will the city itself become part of the festival? Las Vegas is central to the new format. (lvms.com) Las Vegas Motor Speedway said the “Dusk Till Dawn” plan will extend beyond the raceway with curated EDC-themed events throughout the city, and Fox 5 Vegas reported a similar citywide buildout between the two festival weekends. (billboard.com) Billboard described the 2027 edition as a format that will spill into two weekends in May, with themed programming running through Las Vegas in between. That makes the city programming part of the official structure of the event rather than only a surrounding party circuit. (billboard.com) ### What happens next for fans? Friday, May 22, is the next key date. Las Vegas Motor Speedway said sales open at 12 p.m. Pacific for one-weekend and two-weekend passes, covering EDC Dusk, EDC Dawn, or the combined “Dusk Till Dawn” option. (billboard.com) (lvms.com)
