These Were The Most Played Songs At EDC Las Vegas 2026 with Victory Lap taking the No. 1 spot

EDC Las Vegas returned to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway from May 15 to 17 for its 30th anniversary edition, bringing more than 240 artists across three nights and several major stages, including Kinetic Field, Cosmic Meadow, Circuit Grounds, Neon Garden, Basspod, Wasteland, Quantum Valley, Stereo Bloom, and Bionic Jungle. The scale of the lineup means the most played songs at EDC Las Vegas 2026 were not limited to one corner of the festival, with the Top 10 pulling from mainstage dance records, bass tracks, hard dance edits, rap acapellas, remixes, and older club tracks that appeared across different DJ sets. Based on 1001Tracklists data, the ranking is led by Victory Lap from Fred again.., Skepta, and PlaqueBoyMax, while the full list shows how varied the weekend’s most repeated tracks were.

10. Kendrick Lamar ft. MC Eiht – m.A.A.d city

Number of plays: 6

m.A.A.d city comes from Kendrick Lamar’s 2012 album good kid, m.A.A.d city, with MC Eiht appearing on the second half of the track. The song has stayed active in DJ sets because its opening vocal, beat switch, and aggressive delivery are easy to recognize even when only a short section is used. In electronic sets, DJs often use m.A.A.d city as an acapella or transition tool, placing Kendrick Lamar’s vocal over house, trap, bass, or dubstep sections. Its appearance in the Top 10 puts another rap record alongside Pop That, showing how familiar hip-hop vocals remained part of the wider track rotation at EDC Las Vegas 2026.

09. SVDDEN DEATH – Shallow Land Burial

Number of plays: 6

Shallow Land Burial comes from SVDDEN DEATH’s 2022 project VOYD Vol. II, a release tied to the darker side of his dubstep catalog. The original track runs at 140 BPM and is listed as dubstep, which keeps it close to the sound SVDDEN DEATH is known for: low-end pressure, sharp rhythm changes, and a vocal phrase that DJs can place before a drop. The track also continued through later versions, including a 2025 VIP and a Wooli remix released in January 2026, which helped bring it back into festival tracklists before EDC Las Vegas 2026. In this Top 10, Shallow Land Burial gives the list a direct bass entry from one of dubstep’s most recognizable names.

08. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix)

Number of plays: 6

Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) has remained one of the most recognizable indie dance remixes from the late 2000s. The original track came from Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ 2009 album It’s Blitz!, before A-Trak turned it into a club version that became a regular reference point across dance floors, festival sets, and later electronic edits. Its vocal hook is still instantly recognizable, which gives DJs a familiar moment to place over house, electro, bass, or festival-style arrangements without needing to play the original song in full. In this Top 10, Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) adds another older record to the list, sitting alongside tracks from newer electronic artists, rap acapellas, and 90s dance history.

07. Da Hool – Meet Her At The Love Parade

Number of plays: 7

Meet Her At The Love Parade is one of the oldest records in the Top 10, first released by Da Hool in 1997 and tied to the German techno and trance era around Love Parade in Berlin. The track’s main synth line has stayed recognizable for decades, which is why it still works when DJs bring it into modern festival sets, either through the original version, edits, or newer remixes. Its appearance here also shows how 90s dance records are still being used at large electronic festivals, not only as throwback moments but as tracks that can still fit into techno, trance, and mainstage sets. For a list that also includes newer releases and rap acapellas, Meet Her At The Love Parade gives the Top 10 a direct link back to classic European rave history.

06. French Montana ft. Rick Ross, Drake & Lil Wayne – Pop That (Acapella)

Number of plays: 7

Pop That is a 2012 rap single from French Montana featuring Rick Ross, Drake, and Lil Wayne, and its acapella has stayed active in electronic sets for years because the vocal is instantly recognizable. Instead of appearing as a full rap track, the acapella is usually layered over house, bass, trap, or dubstep drops, which lets DJs use the vocal without changing the full direction of a set. The track has also appeared in major festival tracklists before, including Ultra Music Festival 2025, where it ranked among that weekend’s most-played tracks. In this EDC Top 10, Pop That (Acapella) adds the kind of rap vocal that DJs often use as a quick crowd-recognition moment inside electronic sets.

05. Anyma, Argy & Son Of Son – Voices In My Head

Number of plays: 7

Voices In My Head came out in February 2025 as a collaboration between Anyma, Argy, and Son Of Son, during the wider rollout around Anyma’s The End of Genesys era. The track connects closely to Anyma’s visual-led live world, especially after his Sphere Las Vegas residency brought his music into one of the most talked-about electronic show formats of 2025. Argy gives the record a direct link to the melodic techno circuit, while Son Of Son adds the vocal idea that made the track recognizable beyond a standard instrumental club record. In the Top 10, Voices In My Head adds a melodic techno entry alongside the list’s rap acapellas, older dance records, bass tracks, and remixes.

04. ISOxo – FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP

Number of plays: 8

FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP shows ISOxo working with a much faster and harsher sound than the trap and bass records that first pushed his name through the electronic scene. The track runs at 150 BPM and uses a repeated vocal command, sharp percussion, and distorted synth stabs, giving it a hard dance direction without losing the bass pressure associated with ISOxo’s earlier releases. It also came after ISOxo’s larger run with Knock2 as ISOKNOCK, including the 2024 album 4EVR, which brought both artists to bigger festival stages and wider electronic audiences. In this Top 10, FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP adds one of the list’s harder electronic entries alongside rap acapellas, older club records, and remixes.

03. Dean Turnley – Actin’ Tough

Number of plays: 8

Released on March 20, 2026, Actin’ Tough marked a major breakout moment for Dean Turnley, an Australian DJ and producer whose profile had already been growing through the local festival circuit. The track came out through ROSSI.HOME//GRXWN and CHAOS, after months of ID requests from clips circulating online, including footage from Pitch Music & Arts Festival. Its fast house tempo, vocal hook, and rave-leaning production made it one of the early 2026 records DJs were already testing before release, which explains why it arrived with more recognition than a standard new single. The release also reached No. 1 on Beatport, giving Dean Turnley a wider international marker beyond the Australian scene.

02. Bountyhunter – Woops (Dimitri Vegas & Junkie Kid Remix / BRANDON Remix)

Number of plays: 9

Originally released in 1993, Woops comes from Belgian rave and techno history, with DJ Bountyhunter linked to the early Bonzai Records era. The track returned to newer DJ sets through the Dimitri Vegas and Junkie Kid remix, which was released in 2024, before the BRANDON remix followed in early 2026. That newer version pushed the track further into tech house territory, while still keeping the recognizable old-school hook that made Woops easy to identify in a festival set. Its place at No. 2 shows how older rave records are still being reworked into current DJ playlists instead of only appearing as nostalgia tracks.

01. Fred again.., Skepta & PlaqueBoyMax – Victory Lap

Number of plays: 10

Released in June 2025, Victory Lap saw Fred again.., Skepta, and PlaqueBoyMax collaborate on a track tied closely to Fred again..’s online rollout and live previews. The track gained early attention through Fred again..’s Twitch activity before its New York debut, giving it a release path that connected online audiences with club and festival settings. Skepta brings the grime link, while PlaqueBoyMax connects the track to the livestream and internet rap space that helped push it beyond a standard electronic release. Later versions added Denzel Curry, Hanumankind, That Mexican OT, D Double E, and LYNY, giving Victory Lap a wider remix history across rap, grime, bass, and electronic sets.

What The List Says About EDC Las Vegas 2026

The full ranking gives a stronger read on EDC Las Vegas 2026 than a basic genre recap because the most repeated tracks came from several different corners of festival music. Victory Lap placed Fred again.., Skepta, and PlaqueBoyMax at the top, while Da Hool and Yeah Yeah Yeahs brought older dance records back into the same conversation as newer releases from Dean Turnley, Anyma, Argy, Son Of Son, ISOxo, and SVDDEN DEATH. The list also shows how often rap vocals still appear inside electronic sets, with French Montana, Rick Ross, Drake, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, and MC Eiht all represented through tracks that DJs can use as acapellas, edits, or transition moments.

What makes the Top 10 more interesting is the lack of one obvious pattern. Some records reached the list through current release cycles, some through remix history, and others through hooks that DJs have been using for years. At a festival as large as EDC Las Vegas, that mix matters because the most played songs are not always the newest releases or the biggest radio records. They are the tracks that worked across different stages, different set lengths, and different parts of the weekend, which is why this 2026 ranking feels more like a snapshot of DJ set culture than a standard festival chart.

deadmau5 takes over Red Rocks for Halloween on October 30 and 31 with two special shows and the return of mau5hop

For more than 15 years, deadmau5 has returned to Red Rocks Amphitheatre each fall, with the Colorado venue becoming a regular part of his seasonal live shows. This year, that tradition reaches a new point as he performs at Red Rocks on Halloween itself for the first time, with DEADMAU5 HALLOWEEN taking place on October 30 and 31. The two-night event will feature VOWWS, joined by Josh Freese and Danny Lohner, alongside special visuals, selections from deadmau5’s catalogue and new music. The weekend will also include the return of the mau5hop pop-up in Denver, with exclusive merchandise, collectibles and meet-and-greet sessions across both days.

VOWWS Joins deadmau5 For The Halloween Shows

VOWWS will join deadmau5 across the two nights, with Josh Freese and Danny Lohner also part of the performance. The Australian-born, Los Angeles-based duo of Matt James and Rizz have long worked across darker alternative and electronic sounds, with previous collaborations involving Gary Numan, Chino Moreno and Chelsea Wolfe.

Josh Freese, whose credits include A Perfect Circle, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails and The Vandals, also appears on VOWWS’ latest album I’ll Fill Your House With An Army. Danny Lohner, known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and The Black Queen, will join the duo at Red Rocks as part of the expanded live lineup.

What deadmau5 Has Planned For Halloween

The October 30 and 31 shows will feature special Halloween visuals alongside selections from deadmau5’s catalogue and new music. Attendees are also being encouraged to come in costume across both nights.

The shows add a new chapter to deadmau5’s long history at Red Rocks, where his fall appearances have become a regular fixture over more than 15 years. He was back at the venue in 2025 for Day of the Dead, where he debuted new music and parts of a new touring production.

That period has continued into 2026 with ‘Science’ featuring Stevie Appleton, his first vocal single since ‘My Heart Has Teeth’. The track later reached No. 1 on US Dance Radio and also entered Billboard Dance/Mixshow Airplay and Canada CHR/Top 40.

mau5hop Returns For Halloween Weekend

The Halloween weekend will also include the return of mau5hop in Denver, opening on October 30 and 31 at 95 S Cherokee Street. The pop-up will run from 11:00 AM–6:00 PM each day with specialty merchandise, limited-edition apparel, pins and collectibles not available online or at the shows.

deadmau5 and friends are also due to appear for meet-and-greets and signings from 12:00 PM–3:00 PM on both days.

With the Red Rocks shows and mau5hop both returning across Halloween weekend, this year’s edition adds more around a tradition that has already become closely tied to deadmau5 and the venue. The biggest difference in 2026 is simple: for the first time, one of those shows will actually fall on Halloween night.

With VOWWS, Josh Freese and Danny Lohner joining the shows, new music expected and mau5hop returning to Denver, DEADMAU5 HALLOWEEN has plenty planned across the weekend. Limited tickets remain for both nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with more from deadmau5 also expected in the months ahead.

BETH Turns Up the Energy With New Single ‘Wait’

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.

In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.

Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.

“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.
