These Were The Most Played Songs At EDC Las Vegas 2026
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.
EDC Korea reveals October 2026 lineup featuring Tiësto, DJ Snake, Fisher and Sara Landry, who are set to play at Inspire Entertainment Resort in Incheon
Global dance music experience curator Insomniac, in partnership with One Pulse Group, has announced the artist lineup for the 2026 edition of EDC Korea. Taking place from October 3 to 4, 2026, the festival returns to Incheon for its third edition at Inspire Entertainment Resort, where more than 70 artists will perform across four stages. This year’s lineup includes Tiësto, DJ Snake, Fisher, Sara Landry, Alok, ILLENIUM B2B DABIN, Subtronics, SVDDEN DEATH, Vini Vici, W&W, TroyBoi, Aly & Fila, Cosmic Gate, KREAM, R3HAB and more. The October dates also place the festival during Korea’s National Foundation Day and China’s National Golden Week, giving regional fans a more convenient travel window while bringing the festival into cooler weather.
A Closer Look At The EDC Korea 2026 Lineup
The EDC Korea 2026 lineup brings together some of the biggest names currently touring across the international festival circuit, with Tiësto, DJ Snake, Fisher, Alok, R3HAB and W&W all set to play in Incheon this October. Tiësto and DJ Snake give the announcement immediate global weight, while Fisher brings the kind of house booking that has become a major pull at large scale electronic festivals in recent years. Alok adds another major mainstage name with a strong international following, while W&W and R3HAB keep the lineup connected to the big room and festival sound that has long been part of the EDC identity. One of the most notable bookings is ILLENIUM B2B DABIN, which brings together two artists with deep ties to melodic bass and a very loyal Asian fanbase, making it one of the sets likely to draw heavy attention when the festival takes over Inspire Entertainment Resort.

Beyond the first wave of headline names, the lineup also goes deep into bass music, techno, trance and hard dance, giving the 2026 edition more range across its four stages. Subtronics, SVDDEN DEATH, KAYZO, Wooli, Level Up, Jessica Audiffred, ALLEYCVT and BOU bring a heavy bass presence, while Sara Landry, 999999999, Nico Moreno, OGUZ, Lilly Palmer, Charlie Sparks and Marie Vaunt place techno and hard techno firmly into the festival’s programming. Trance also has a strong role through Aly & Fila, Cosmic Gate, Nifra and Vini Vici, while Ben Nicky presents XTREME, Brennan Heart, Coone and Anime bring harder sounds into the weekend. The Korean and regional side of the lineup is also part of the announcement, with Cheez & Yuka, DAVICO B3B DEMUK B3B DEPARTS, Casepeat x Purple Rabbit, HOHO ONE, Paul Eun, Sungyoo, Youna and Zena appearing alongside the international names, giving EDC Korea a lineup that speaks to both overseas festival travelers and fans already connected to the local scene.
Insomniac Stage Takeovers At EDC Korea 2026
The 2026 edition will also feature curated stage takeovers from several Insomniac brands, with Basscon, Bassrush Experience, Dreamstate Presents, Electrik Seoul, Insomniac Records and Mutate all included in the announcement. Basscon brings hard dance into the weekend, linking directly with artists such as Ben Nicky presents XTREME, Brennan Heart, Coone and Anime, while Bassrush Experience fits the heavier bass side of the lineup through Subtronics, SVDDEN DEATH, KAYZO, Wooli, Level Up, Jessica Audiffred and ALLEYCVT. Dreamstate Presents gives trance a dedicated stage presence at EDC Korea 2026, with Aly & Fila, Cosmic Gate, Nifra and Vini Vici already part of the lineup. Electrik Seoul also gives the Korean edition a brand connected to the local market, while Insomniac Records and Mutate bring more of the wider Insomniac festival world into Incheon.
Across four stages at Inspire Entertainment Resort, these takeovers make the weekend feel closer to the wider EDC format, where each stage usually carries its own sound and audience. The names announced for Basscon, Bassrush Experience and Dreamstate Presents also show how much of the festival has been planned around genre identity, not only around the biggest names at the top of the poster. For a lineup that moves from Tiësto, DJ Snake and Fisher to Sara Landry, Subtronics, Aly & Fila and ILLENIUM B2B DABIN, the stage takeovers give each part of the festival more context once the weekend begins. It also keeps EDC Korea tied to Insomniac’s international festival language while giving the Incheon edition space for Korean and regional artists through names such as Electrik Seoul, Cheez & Yuka, Paul Eun, Sungyoo, Youna and Zena.
Tickets And Festival Details
Two day GA and VIP tickets for EDC Korea 2026 are now on sale through the official EDC Korea website. The festival will take place from October 3 to 4, 2026 at Inspire Entertainment Resort in Incheon, bringing the event back for its third edition with more than 70 artists across four stages. The move to October gives the festival a different seasonal position in Korea, with cooler weather and dates that also sit around Korea’s National Foundation Day and China’s National Golden Week.
For EDC Korea, the 2026 edition now has its main framework in place, from the headline names and genre focused bookings to the Insomniac stage takeovers spread across the weekend. With Tiësto, DJ Snake, Fisher, Sara Landry, ILLENIUM B2B DABIN, Subtronics, SVDDEN DEATH, Alok and more included in the lineup, the October event gives Incheon one of its biggest dance music weekends of the year.
Singer and EDM collaborator Oliver Tree has died following a mid-air helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the morning of Sunday, June 14, along with five others.
Singer and EDM collaborator Oliver Tree has died following a mid-air helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the morning of Sunday, June 14. The crash, which occurred in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood in the southwest zone of the city, claimed six lives in total. The news was confirmed by the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro.
Oliver Tree was in Brazil as part of his ongoing world tour, having performed in São Paulo on June 6. His next scheduled date was set for Lisbon, Portugal on July 13, marking the start of the European leg of the tour. His last Instagram post, shared on Saturday the 13th, showed him in a studio with other artists.
What Happened in Rio de Janeiro
Two helicopters collided in the air before crashing into an electric vehicle yard on Avenida das Américas in Recreio dos Bandeirantes on Sunday morning, according to preliminary information from the Fire Department. The impact set approximately 20 parked cars alight. Six people were killed in total: five aboard one helicopter and the pilot of the second aircraft.
The confirmed victims are Oliver Tree Nickel (passenger), Lucas Vignale (passenger), Gaspar Prim (passenger), Lucas Brito Chaves (passenger), Alexandre Souza (pilot), and Charles Marsillac (pilot). Among those killed was Gaspar Prim, known online as Gaspi, an Argentine YouTuber with nearly 7.5 million followers.
The case is being handled by the 42nd Police District in Recreio dos Bandeirantes. Brazil’s Air Force, through its Aeronautical Accident Investigation and Prevention Center (CENIPA), has been deployed to the site to conduct the initial investigation. Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) has also confirmed it is looking into the circumstances involving the aircraft and pilots.
Oliver Tree’s Impact on Music
Oliver Tree had built one of the more distinctive careers in modern music, blending alternative, pop, hip-hop, and electronic influences into a sound that defied easy categorization. He had nearly 20 million followers across social media and more than 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with tracks accumulating over 700 million streams on the platform. His collaborations across the electronic music world made him a familiar name in the EDM space, and his personality and visual identity made him impossible to ignore regardless of genre.
Our thoughts are with his family, his collaborators, his fans, and everyone affected by this tragedy.
Martin Garrix has teased a brand new collaboration with Madonna titled Bizarre, premiering the track at his New York show ahead of her upcoming album release in 18 days.
Martin Garrix appears to have teased a brand new collaboration with Madonna, with the track reportedly set to feature on her upcoming album due in 18 days. Garrix premiered the song at his New York show, where the vocals were widely noted to sound like Madonna, before confirming the collaboration at the afterparty. The track is titled “Bizarre,” a name that also appears on Madonna’s forthcoming album tracklist. If confirmed, this would represent one of the most unexpected crossovers in recent dance music history.
Martin Garrix Premiered “Bizarre” at His New York Show
Garrix debuted the track during his New York show, where attendees noted the vocals sounded immediately recognizable as Madonna. He did not make any announcement about the collaboration during the main show itself, keeping the reveal for the afterparty, where he got on the mic and confirmed it was a collab with Madonna.
The timing lines up with Madonna’s upcoming album, which is due in 18 days and reportedly includes a track carrying the same title. The overlap between the two projects strongly suggests the versions are one and the same, though neither camp has issued a formal press release at the time of writing.
The Collab Fits Everything Garrix Has Said About His New Album
This follows a string of interviews in which Garrix said his new album would feature collaborations with artists he never thought he would work with. Madonna fits that framing exactly. She is one of the most iconic figures in pop music history with very little prior crossover into the electronic dance music world, making a collaboration with a DJ and producer of Garrix’s generation genuinely unexpected.
It also follows his high-profile collab with Ed Sheeran, which had been over a decade in the making and signaled that Garrix was thinking beyond the typical boundaries of the genre when putting together this album era. A Madonna feature, if confirmed, would take that approach even further.
What We Know So Far
At this stage, the collaboration has not been officially announced through press channels. What is known is that Garrix premiered the track live in New York, confirmed the collab at the afterparty, and that both his project and Madonna’s upcoming album share the title “Bizarre.” Madonna’s album is set to arrive in 18 days. No release date for the Garrix version has been confirmed independently, though the timing suggests the two could land together or very close to one another.
