From the stages and the sound to the pyrotechnics and the performers, there is nothing quite like Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) — especially when you witness it in Orlando. See what to expect when the legendary electronic dance music (EDM) festival returns to downtown’s historic Tinker Field from Nov. 11 – 13, 2022, and make plans now to experience all three days in person.
THE STAGES
You can’t have a concert without a stage, and EDC Orlando boasts five of them — including one that travels throughout the grounds of Tinker Field. Forever evolving, they include:

More than 100 EDM artists will perform at EDC Orlando 2022, including headliners Afrojack, Alison Wonderland, Audien, CamelPhat, Chris Lake, DJ Snake, Ferry Corsten, Green Velvet, REZZ and Zeds Dead. (With that being said, the top headliner is you.)
You can also count on hearing every type of EDM imaginable — and some you’ve not yet dreamed of. For instance, fans of house music won’t want to miss sets by ACRAZE, Biscits, James Hype and John Summit. Prefer trance? Check out Gareth Emery, Giuseppe Ottaviani and Ruben De Ronde. And if techno is more your thing, be sure to catch Brennen Grey, Charlotte de Witte, Ellen Allien and Patrick Topping, among others. Many more await, ensuring something for just about everyone.
THE RIDES, THE ART & THE PERFORMERS
Ferris Wheel at EDC Orlando
The “carnival” part of EDC Orlando’s name is no gimmick. The festival is an oversize playground with a wide array of popular attractions that run the gamut from relaxing to exhilarating, including its iconic Ferris wheel. Each ride offers the chance to experience EDC from a brand-new perspective — and have a blast while you’re at it.

EDC Orlando also presents a world of three-dimensional superstructures, glow-in-the-dark environments, and a galaxy of LED-infused flora and fauna. You’ll find these interactive art installations throughout the festival grounds.
And don’t forget about EDC Orlando’s Funkdafied Freaks — aka dancers, stilt-walkers, aerialists, circus performers and other whimsical characters decked out in over-the-top costumes. Expect to be enchanted and astounded by this motley crew of merrymakers.
THE DESTINATION

EDC Orlando runs from 1 p.m. – 12 a.m. daily, which leaves a lot of potential free time for festivalgoers.

Venues include Celine Orlando, Elixir, Gilt and The Vanguard. You’ll find even more things to do on our events calendar.
