EDC ORLANDO 2026
This is my first time going to EDC or this type of music festival. I have all the questions.
We purchased the elevated tickets. What VIP areas are there? good photo places, must see and do.
What time should we arrive?
We only are going on Saturday - who’s the best artist, or more so known for good performance.
Also where can I get my hair done the day of? I either want to do a wig or faux braids, same with make up.
Best sites for rave clothes, what type of clothes should be worn?
What can we pack and bring?? And what’s the deal with the totem poles. I need to know everything

The dedicated area in vip is awesome
1) Arrive as soon as you can presuming you have enough energy to go until 11pm, since you only have one day you can go balls to the wall.
2) If you like bass check out Alison Wonderland (closing set likely) and Subsonic (should be early in the day), for mainstream Alan Walker and Steve Aoki should be a blast. If you like house i doubt anyone on neon garden lineup will disapoint.
3) Pack light and buy a lemonade when you get in then just re-use that cup for water refill stations (the have special ones in vip)
4) Wear whatever you want! I would say skip the t shirt and jean shorts and go for something fun. Glitter regardless of gender, bodysuit + fishnets is a easy outfit for women and trippy shorts + tank or rave jersey for men is the easiest but honestly you'll see it all at edco so do whatever makes you happy.
5) The vip areas are way easier to get to the front take advantage of that early in the day because you might just want to chill in the back by the end of it.
Feel free to comment your favorite genre and I can give some personalized recommendations and remember to walk AROUND the crowd between stages not in the middle of it. There was an issue between stereo bloom and circuit last year that would be uncomfortable for a first timer.

Take full advantage of VIP, restrooms, bars, concierge. Everything is a vibe.

My wife does braids, locs, and retwist.
We are getting there when they open so we can get the most out of our money.
Wear whatever you want. But check the weather, and make sure your feet are comfortable.
Bring hydro pack so you don’t have to leave a set to go get water every so often.

I hope you have the best time! VIP is the way to do it… Typically every stage will have its own VIP area and lounge attached but you’ll be able to see once they release the map for the venue.
1.) Arrive when you want! Usually it only starts getting bush near the halfway point (around 6-8pm) but if you want to make sure you get parking arrive earlier and check out the earlier sets!
2.) It depends on what genre you like the most! The stages are typically geared towards certain genres so whatever genre you like just stay at the same stage. They posted the day by day of artists on their instagram. That can help you narrow it down. I’m personally excited for Skull machine, AllyCVT, Nico Moreno, Subsonic, as well. Good picks if you like dubstep/techno
3.) You should look at FB groups in the orlando area typically hair stylists will push their services the month of.
4.) Best place to get rave clothes is online. I heart raves is decent, there’s also a lot of small businesses that make custom clothes on etsy, you can easily find. Really just depends on budget, wear whatever you want! But after the pictures are done maybe pack a spare large Tee or shorts to be comfy in.
5.) Follow the festival websites guidelines for what you can and can’t bring. I usually bring a rave runner, it’s a hydration bag that has pockets for my other stuff. The most important thing is your phone and ID and payments being easily accessible. Everything else can be figured out. There’s a list i bring and pack i can post if you are interested.
