Electric Daisy Carnival is an annual electronic dance festival held on the last weekend of June in Southern California. In 2009, the festival was expanded to a two day event, which brought in 185,000 attendees, making it the biggest electronic dance festival outside Europe.
Remember when Eminem said nobody listens to techno? The times have certainly changed since that infamous rant, considering the fact that more than 185,000 people attended the Electric Daisy Carnival at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Exposition Park June 2010, making it one of the largest dance-music events in the US. The party spanned two days, five stages and boasted over 150 of the most famous DJs in the world, including Armin Van Buuren, Benny Benassi, Deadmau5 and Kaskade. Even Will.I.Am had a prime slot on the main stage Saturday night, and Lil Jon came out to host on the mic both nights. Free carnival rides, art installations, state-of-the-art lighting and sound also helped to create a one-of-a-kind electronic-music experience.
"EDC, I've never seen anything like this in my entire life, and I've DJ'ed everywhere in the world", Steve Angello of the Swedish House Mafia announced to the crowd during their headlining set Friday night. "Los Angeles, this is unbelievable!"
Electric Daisy Carvival 2011 dates are set: June 24 and 25, 2011.
