What it's like to attend Electric Daisy Carnival, one of America's biggest electronic music dance parties
Adi Adinayev for Insomniac
EDC is known for its whimsical themes: attendees dressed in bold costumes, rode a brightly-lit Ferris wheel and other carnival rides, and danced underneath a giant, stylized owl face that decorated the main stage. Each of the four stages, in fact, was a veritable light show - and, there were fireworks.
For legendary trance DJ Ferry Corsten, who's been in the business for over two decades and plays over 100 shows a year, EDC is still one of the biggest festivals around. This weekend, he brought his trance project Gouryella to the stage.
"What I like about EDC is that they always put a lot of effort into production," Corsten told Business Insider. "It's quite visual-driven."
Business Insider checked out the sprawling festival, where four stages hosted big-name DJs like Zedd, Kaskade, and Afrojack alongside up-and-comers like Alison Wonderland and Marshmello. As guests of Jägermeister, we got to have the full EDC experience. Tickets started at $119 for one day of access.
