The much-anticipated Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) China, which was set to take place on September 15th and 16th, 2024, has been canceled due to the imminent arrival of Typhoon Bebinca. Organizers made the difficult decision to cancel the festival in light of severe weather conditions, prioritizing the safety of attendees.
In a statement released by the EDC team, it was announced that Typhoon Bebinca, currently moving through the East China Sea, is expected to make landfall during the festival’s scheduled dates. In accordance with Suzhou’s City Typhoon Defense Emergency Plan, the event will not be allowed to proceed.
“We understand how much this festival means to you, and we share in your disappointment,” the statement reads. “The energy and enthusiasm of our community are what make EDC special, and we were truly looking forward to celebrating together.”
For those who have purchased tickets through official platforms, full refunds, including transaction fees, will be issued automatically within 7-10 business days. No action will be required from ticket holders, but the festival organizers have advised keeping an eye on ticketing platforms for updates regarding the refund process.
The festival organizers reiterated that the safety of attendees remains their top priority and expressed hope that fans will be able to reunite “Under the Electric Sky” in the near future.
EDC China, a branch of the globally renowned EDM (electronic dance music) festival series, was set to be a major highlight for fans across Asia. The festival’s cancellation comes as a major blow to the regional music community, which was eagerly awaiting this event. Despite the disappointment, the festival’s commitment to the safety of its attendees is widely appreciated, as is their seamless approach to handling refunds during this challenging situation.
The EDC team closed their announcement with heartfelt wishes for everyone’s safety, urging the community to “stay safe and take care.”
