The festival will once again happen at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and is expected to host hundreds of thousands of dance music fans. Insomniac reported to Billboard that the October 2021 iteration of EDC — which had been pushed multiple times due to the pandemic — was attended by 475,000 fans, making it the largest in the history of the event.
“There’s people that need this in their lives in a big way,” Insomniac Founder and CEO Pasquale Rotella told Billboard at the festival last fall. “It helps them manage their anxiety or whatever they’re struggling with.”
The October event also made history as the first Insomniac event to stream in the metaverse, via a partnership with Roblox. Earlier this month, Insomniac announced another metaverse partnership with 3D content studio Unity that will host a rotation of events. It’s not yet clear if EDC Las Vegas 2022 will be one of them.
