What To Expect From EDC Las Vegas Dusk Till Dawn
EDC Las Vegas Dusk Till Dawn brings 12 days of events, parties and experiences across the city in 2027
EDC Las Vegas is taking its new Dusk Till Dawn format far beyond the two festival weekends at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Insomniac has now revealed the events and experiences planned across the full 12 days from May 13–24, 2027. Alongside EDC Dusk and EDC Dawn, Headliners can expect pop-up parties across Las Vegas and the returning World Party Parade. A new Map Point Summit, Insomniac Concept Store and Beyond The Rave Art Show are also planned. Camp EDC and Hotel EDC will also offer expanded experiences throughout the city.

What The 12-Day Experience Actually Includes
The Dusk Till Dawn experience runs from May 13–24, 2027. EDC Dusk takes place from May 14–16, followed by EDC Dawn from May 21–23 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The six festival days remain at the Speedway. The dates around them will bring EDC into other parts of Las Vegas through parties, exhibitions, retail, hotel events and community-focused activities.
Between the two weekends, Insomniac plans pop-up events across clubs, warehouses, art galleries, city landmarks and other locations. Opening and closing parties will also take place around both Dusk and Dawn. Hotel EDC at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will host pool parties, after-parties, wellness activities and beauty and glam services. Interactive events and several of the new experiences announced for 2027 will also take place there.
Camp EDC will change significantly as well, with pass holders able to stay for the full 12 days for the first time. Each weekend begins with a sunset-to-sunrise opening party at The Mesa. Monday morning after-parties will follow once each festival weekend ends. Between both weekends, campers can expect wellness activities, creative workshops, a retro arcade and live painting. Vendor Village, art installations and all-night parties are also planned.
New Experiences Coming To Dusk Till Dawn
One of the biggest additions for 2027 is Map Point Summit. Its name comes from the underground rave tradition of using map points to guide people to a party. Insomniac is bringing that idea into a new setting at Hotel EDC. The summit will focus on electronic music, rave culture and helping people understand different paths into the industry. It gives the 12-day experience something beyond parties. The space is aimed at people who want to learn more about the culture and those working behind it.
That wider look at rave culture continues with the new Beyond The Rave Art Show. It will also take place at Hotel EDC throughout all 12 days. The free exhibition will feature photography, graffiti, paintings, rave flyers, poster art, sculptures and collectibles. Works will come from established artists and people within the electronic music community. Nearby, the Marketplace will bring together independent creators and businesses. They will offer fashion, art, records, collectibles, technology and other products connected to the scene.
Concept Store And World Party Parade
Music and merchandise also come together through the first Insomniac Concept Store, another new addition for 2027. Open throughout Dusk Till Dawn, the store will include limited-edition collaborations, exclusive releases and a vinyl section. That section will cover both new and old-school electronic music. Artist meet-and-greets and special DJ appearances are also planned.
The returning World Party Parade takes the celebration back outside following its 2026 debut. The free, all-ages electronic dance music parade will once again bring performers and people from around the world onto the streets of Las Vegas.
With EDC Las Vegas giving Headliners an entirely new way to experience the festival in 2027, the inaugural Dusk Till Dawn edition is already shaping up to be one of its biggest changes in years. Across the full 12 days, the experience will extend beyond the two weekends at the Speedway. Art, nightlife, rave culture, community events, independent creators and new spaces around the city will all play a part. That gives people far more to explore before, between and after Dusk and Dawn. It also gives Insomniac room to develop ideas that have not previously been part of EDC on this scale. That makes the first edition of Dusk Till Dawn one to keep a close eye on when it begins in May 2027.
