But with so much going on at EDC, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. That’s why we’ve put together a guide for first-time attendees, so you can make the most of your experience and have an unforgettable weekend.

Before the Festival

Before you even get to the Festival grounds, there are a few things you should do to make sure you’re prepared:

• Get your tickets early. EDC tickets often sell out within hours of going on sale, so make sure you plan ahead and buy your tickets as soon as possible.
• Plan your accommodations. Las Vegas gets packed during EDC weekend, so make sure you book your hotel or Airbnb well in advance.
• Check the weather. EDC is an outdoor festival, so make sure you pack appropriately for the weather. Las Vegas can get very hot during the day, but temperatures can drop at night, so bring layers.
• Figure out transportation. EDC offers shuttles from various locations on the Strip, so take advantage of this to save time and money on transportation. If you’re driving, make sure you have a designated driver or plan to use a ride-sharing service.

During the Festival

Once you’re inside the festival, it can be easy to get caught up in everything that’s going on. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Stay hydrated. Las Vegas is in the middle of the desert, so it’s important to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. EDC offers free water stations throughout the festival, so take advantage of these and drink lots of water.
• Wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be on your feet for hours, so make sure you’re wearing comfortable shoes that you can dance and walk in.
• Explore the festival. EDC is massive and there’s always something going on. Take some time to explore the different stages and art installations throughout the festival grounds.
• Plan your sets. EDC releases the set times ahead of the festival, so make sure you plan ahead and figure out which sets you want to see. Keep in mind that some sets may overlap, so plan accordingly.
• Bring a portable charger. Your phone is probably going to die at some point during the festival, so make sure you bring a portable charger so you can stay connected with your friends and document your experience.

After the Festival

Once the festival is over, there are a few things you should do to wrap up your experience:

• Rest and recover. EDC can be exhausting, so take some time to rest and recover after the festival. Drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep, and eat some healthy food.
• Reflect on your experience. EDC is more than just a music festival—it’s a community. Take some time to reflect on your experience and think about the connections you made and the memories you created.
• Plan for next year. EDC happens every June in Las Vegas, so start planning and saving for next year’s festival. Early bird tickets usually go on sale in September or October, so mark your calendar!
