EDC's Florida weekend is back. EDC Orlando returns to Tinker Field from Friday, November 6, to Sunday, November 8. Insomniac's lineup announcement calls it the festival's 15th edition, with more than 100 artists across five stages.
The headliners cover every era of the main stage. There is David Guetta, freshly crowned DJ Mag's World's No. 1 DJ, plus Kaskade, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Mau P, SLANDER, Alesso and Alan Walker. Here is how the weekend breaks down, based on the official lineup page.
Friday, November 6: Guetta night
Friday belongs to the big-room royals. David Guetta headlines, with Afrojack and Mau P on the same bill. Alesso and Adventure Club play sunset sets.
If you like your house with more groove, look for Chris Lorenzo, Omar+ and Josh Baker. Bass fans get Levity and Wooli, and Interplanetary Criminal is on the bill too. Guetta's year has been huge, and our story on his record sixth DJ Mag title explains why.
Saturday, November 7: Kaskade and the bass faithful
Saturday's lineup has Kaskade at the top, with Steve Aoki and a sunset set from Alan Walker. Alison Wonderland, Ray Volpe and Skull Machine (Black Tiger Sex Machine x Kai Wachi) cover the heavy end.
Techno and house fans should mark Nico Moreno, Dennis Cruz and Franky Rizardo. Luke Dean B2B George Smeddles play a sunset set.
Sunday, November 8: the big finish
Sunday is stacked. Martin Garrix and Hardwell share the day with Alok and Meduza. SLANDER and Marlon Hoffstadt play sunset sets.
The techno side is the deepest of the weekend. I Hate Models, Klangkuenstler, KI/KI and Adrián Mills all play Sunday. So does one of the most interesting pairings on the poster: Boys Noize B2B Brutalismus 3000. Boys Noize releases his new album two days earlier, and our 7LLVSION story has the background.
The B2Bs worth planning around
Back-to-back sets are where festival weekends get interesting, and the lineup page has plenty. On Friday, look for Bullet Tooth B2B Sidney Charles, Benda B2B Vastive and Bou B2B Kanine. Saturday has ACRAZE B2B CID. Sunday has Deorro B2B DJ Diesel, plus the Boys Noize and Brutalismus 3000 pairing. Insomniac's own poster also lists a Bassrush Experience and an Insomniac Records takeover.
Five stages, three takeovers
Insomniac says house, techno and bass all have a home across the five stages. The tickets page names three of them: kineticFIELD, circuitGROUNDS and neonGARDEN.
Some of Insomniac's own brands take over stages too. The press release names Factory 93 for the underground crowd, Bassrush for bass music, and the Insomniac Records label. The theme is kineticJOURNEY. It carries on from the 30th-anniversary edition of EDC Las Vegas earlier this year.
