Since its inception in the 1990s, EDC has been a celebration of art, culture, and community. With its roots in Insomniac’s vision of uniting people through music, EDC has become a global phenomenon known for its stunning stage designs, larger-than-life art installations, and inclusive atmosphere. The festival’s mantra, “All Are Welcome Here,” resonates with fans worldwide, making it a haven for self-expression and connection.
China’s electronic music scene has been rapidly evolving, with major cities like Shanghai, Beijing, and Chengdu leading the charge. Clubs and festivals have nurtured local talent, creating a thriving ecosystem that’s now drawing international attention. EDC’s presence in China underscores the country’s growing influence in the global electronic music landscape, offering a platform for both established and emerging artists to shine.
EDC China’s return marks a significant moment for fans and artists alike. With a trailer reminding us of the magic EDC has brought over the years, Insomniac invites you to celebrate “seven years of unforgettable memories and endless magic Under the Electric Sky.”
