Ten Reasons Why You Need To Attend EDC Las Vegas

Top 10 Tuesday - Electric Daisy Carnival( EDC) Las Vegas Special

No longer simply an electronic music festival, Electric Daisy Carnival has grown into a one of a kind, full entertainment experience. EDC combines the world's most renowned dance music talent with leading-edge production to create an unparalleled experience of sight and sound that you will have to encounter for yourself to believe. This is your world, so come play and let your imagination lead the way.

Electric Daisy Carnival has grown exponentially over the past seventeen years. Now hosted annually at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway as a three-day event, EDC is one of the nation’s largest music festivals, and North America’s largest dance music event with attendance and acclaim topping even the most well-known mainstream music festivals. The internationally acclaimed carnival-themed event features full-size carnival rides, art installations, hundreds of costume-clad performers, and the largest stage built in North America. From a single-day festival, EDC today is a weekend long, multidimensional entertainment experience that combines the world’s most renowned dance music talent with leading-edge production and sound design. After hosting more than 300,000 amazing fans during EDC Las Vegas 2013, the world’s top musical and artistic talent will return to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the 17th Annual Electric Daisy Carnival on June 20, 21 and 22, 2014.

The Electric Daisy Carnival is hitting the road once again in 2014, with some exciting new destinations added to the calendar. When the EDC 2014 Tour takes off, it will deliver the full Insomniac experience to additional major, eager markets across the country and overseas.

EDC CURATED IS HERE...

For the first time ever, Insomniac will broadcast the largest multi-day music festival in North America through a new online experience called "Electric Daisy Curated," aka "EDC Curated."

Fans who are not able to be a part of this year's sold out Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), Las Vegas in person will be able to tune in and watch portions of the event from their location of choice, whether that is home on the couch or with friends at a gathering, as Insomniac, and partner 7UP, curate select content to share during each of the festivals three nights.

Foregoing the traditional live stream approach, Insomniac will curate, compile and stream video from multiple feeds throughout the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, from the grandstands to the stages to cameras capturing artist interviews and other behind-the-scenes action.

"For years, I've been debating whether or not we should broadcast EDCVegas online, but after watching other events adopt live-streaming, I felt that a traditional approach wasn't for us. Sure it may capture the crowds and the artists, but our experience is about so much more than that. That's why we're getting away from the traditional live stream format and creating something completely different. With EDC Curated, we are producing a unique experience that allows those watching around the world to select and view handpicked footage that highlights different aspects of the show. In doing so, we also preserve the experience for those fans that attend in the flesh."

Powered by 7UP, Insomniac will leverage digital technology in never-before-seen ways to document the festival with over 50 cameras at eight stages, including the Wide Awake Art Car and the Discovery Project stage, which will be used to capture the action, while Insomniac selects only the most interesting aspects of the experience for the viewer.

"We are constantly looking to evolve and create unique experiences for fans, and by powering the first ever Electric Daisy Curated content, 7UP was able to accomplish just that," says Dave Falk vice president of marketing for 7UP. "This approach is unique because fans that aren't physically able to attend can choose from one of ten camera feeds that will capture power house performances from some of their favorite artists. We're thrilled that we are able to bring the sights, sounds and overall experience of Electric Daisy Carnival to the fans at home through our #7x7UP camera."

EDC Curated will have teams stationed at EDC's various stages as well as cameras placed everywhere from the grandstands and the carnival rides to inside quadcopters flying overhead, providing a special "owl's-eye view" of the expected record-breaking 400,000 revelers.

EDC Curated will be broadcast on Insomniac.com and will occur from 8:30 pm PST to 8:30 am PST on June 20, 21, and 22. Footage shared via EDC Curated will be available for one time only and will not be rebroadcast.
