Attended the first night of 5th edition of Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando last night outside the Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium. |
First stop was the Neon Garden stage. Last night it really could have been called the Trance Garden stage! |
Arrived in mid-afternoon to find DJ duo Venice (USA) on stage! |
The early crowd was enjoying an EDM set. |
But this stage switched to Trance at 3PM as DJ Jason Ross (USA) took over! |
And he would lead a very animated set! |
Young crowd......Trance ain't dying! |
My experience with EDC-Orlando is that the Friday night crowd does not arrive until 6PM but that was not the case yesterday as it was already pretty crowded at 4PM! |
The Circuit Grounds stage has a pretty cool design but last night it was Bass & Dubstep heavy and I never set foot in the place. I'll try to do better tonight. |
Over next to the incredible Kinetic Field main stage! |
Found DJ duo Amine Edge & Dance (F) over here! |
Their set was EDM/Dance with some real House in there too! |
You can never go wrong with Go Go girls! |
Plenty of EDC girls! |
Animation team heading to another stage! |
Some Daisy girls! |
Back to the Neon Garden for Trance DJ Ben Gold (GB). |
Big roar when he played Above & Beyond's "We Are All We Need"! |
Spotted: Downtown Orlando friend Trish with her friends. |
Spotted: Prior DJ Jason Ross coming down to visit his peeps! |
Spotted: Don't know who they are or where they're from but they were so loud and crazy I had to include them in this article! Thanks for posing! |
Spotted: Alexi from the EDC film crew. |
Dance floor packed for Trance! |
You can never go wrong with Go Go girls! |
Back to the now full main stage. |
First time EDC-Orlando performance by DJ Laidback Luke (NL)! |

Dragon coming to life, photo two. |
His set included classics "Better Off Alone" & "Kernkraft 400". |
Needed some more Trance though so returned to the Neon Garden stage for DJ Ilan Bluestone (GB). |
Spotted: Jessica from club Peek Downtown. |
By now the dance floor was wall-to-wall! |
Blog favorite DJ Ferry Corsten (NL) taking over at 6:30PM. |
No EDM last night; it was an all Trance set! Ferry always smiling! |
That look of Trance. Crowd was really getting into it! |
Spotted: Orlando City Lions stadium announcer & DJ David Ziemba with friend! |
Spotted: DJ Pedro Vazquez (B.B. Kings) with Lanie from 2050 Productions. |
Spotted: DJ Willie Lugo (Disney's Atlantic Dance Hall) with his wife Chely! |
Spotted: Promoter Diego Granda with Hannah & Alejandro. |
Over the past 5 years there have been relatively few DJ's from Sweden invited to perform at EDC-Orlando but we got a great one last night in Eric Prydz (S)! |
He has such an unmistakable sound to call his own! His set was non-vocal Techno / Tech House except for recent hit "Generate" which has vocals. His set was amazing! |
Main stage had plenty of pyro & fire! |
DJ Snake (F) was injured in a car accident last week and did not perform at Surrender in Las Vegas the night I was there but he's fine now and did perform last night! |
When I saw him a few months ago at Venue 578 he played a lot of Trap but last night it was EDM all the way including his mega hit with Major Lazer, "Lean On"! |
His Trap hit with Lil Jon "Turn Down For What" also got played! |
Too far away and too dark to get a good picture, but finally the 9:15PM performance of DJ Calvin Harris (GB)! |
His set included most of his large number of Top 40/Dance hits from the past few years including "Feel So Close", "Sweet Nothing" & "Summer". This was the highlight of my EDC 2015. |
Confetti blasts! |
DJ Tiësto (NL) closing out the night on the main stage, opening with a song off one of his "In Search of Sunrise" albums from back in the day! |
Dancers in a frenzy! |
Since I had just seen him play last week at Hakkasan in Las Vegas and stood ten feet away from him there, this distance here held no appeal for me. I thus called it a night. |
At Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando Day 1, a good time was had by all! Day 2 begins at 1PM today so come on out! |
