EDC Las Vegas set times released

EDC Las Vegas just moved from hype to logistics. Insomniac has put the 2026 set times live in the app, which means the big abstract lineup is now a real map of where your night goes and what you’ll miss. That matters more at EDC than at most festivals, because this thing runs deep into the morning and the site is huge. Friday starts at 5 PM, Saturday and Sunday at 7 PM, and every night runs until 5:30 AM. ### Where are the set times actually live? They’re in the official EDC Las Vegas app — that’s the clearest signal on the festival site right now, which is literally flagging “Set times in app” on the homepage days before gates. Third-party schedule trackers have mirrored the grids, but the useful part is that Insomniac has now moved beyond the lineup poster and into stage-by-stage, hour-by-hour scheduling.

EDC has nine main stages plus art cars, and the festival grounds are built for wandering, not for instantly teleporting from one end to the Speedway to the other. Once the schedule lands, your weekend stops being “I’ll catch everyone” and becomes “Which clash hurts least?” (lasvegas.electricdaisycarnival.com) ### What does Friday already show? Friday alone looks brutal in the fun way. The mirrored schedule shows The Chainsmokers at kineticFIELD from 12:32 AM to 1:40 AM, FISHER from 1:47 AM to 2:57 AM, Porter Robinson from 3:01 AM to 4:10 AM, and Charlotte de Witte closing that stage from 4:14 AM to 5:28 AM. Elsewhere that same night, Peggy Gou is slotted at neonGARDEN, Underworld at cosmicMEADOW, and Adriatique, Eli Brown, and Joseph Capriati stack the techno lane even harder. (lasvegas.electricdaisycarnival.com) ### What kind of weekend is EDC selling this year? Basically, the full marathon. The official hours page confirms three overnight sessions, with the first day opening earlier than the rest. The ticket page also makes clear this is still an 18+ event, VIP is 21+, and 3-day GA, GA+, and VIP Future Owl passes are sold out, with Sunday-only passes still listed. So the audience looking at these set times is mostly locked in already — now they’re optimizing. (festivaldust.com) ### Does the schedule change how you move around the grounds? Yes — a lot. The stages page makes the programming lanes pretty clear: kineticFIELD for big crossover names, neonGARDEN for Factory 93’s darker house and techno pull, bassPOD for heavy bass, quantumVALLEY for trance, wasteland for hard dance. Once times are attached, you can decide whether to camp in one zone for three hours or burn energy zigzagging. That sounds small, but at a festival ending after sunrise-adjacent hours, bad routing is how you lose whole chunks of the night. (lasvegas.electricdaisycarnival.com) ### What’s the catch? The catch is that “officially out” does not mean frozen forever. Festival apps can update quietly, and EDC is a giant live operation with weather, production, and artist-travel variables in play. So the smart move is to use the current grid to plan anchors — your must-sees and your non-negotiable closers — but leave some slack between stages. ### So what should people do now? (lasvegas.electricdaisycarnival.com) Pick your closers first. Then mark the painful conflicts. Then build around geography, not fantasy. If Charlotte de Witte, Peggy Gou, and Underworld all matter to you, you’re not making a vibes list anymore — you’re making a route. That’s what the set-time drop actually changed this week. ### Bottom line? The news is simple — EDC Las Vegas 2026 now has a real schedule. (lasvegas.electricdaisycarnival.com) But the practical effect is bigger: the weekend finally became schedulable, and for a sold-out overnight festival this sprawling, that’s when the event starts to feel real.
