EDC - Orlando Day 2

Still exhausted from Day 1 of Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando and the Trance after-party, it was time to do it again!  Day 2 on the playa!
Temps again in the mid-80's but Saturday at least had a cool breeze!
Beginning my adventure at the Kinetic Field main stage with a rather sophisticated EDM set from DJ CID (USA).
And then over to the shady tent of the Neon Garden stage for an amazing House set from DJ duo Cocodrills (USA).
Only 3PM and it was already packed in here!
A great new addition to this year's EDC - Orlando is the Corona Electric Beach!
DJ's like Dead Space (USA) performing around the clock!
You can never go wrong with Corona girls!
People dancing to House music!
Another new addition to EDC this year is the Jägermeister Haus!
Complete with two bars, it's mainly a viewing platform of the main stage!
Where DJ Morgan Page (USA) had taken over at 4PM.
Performing an array of his hits such as "The Longest Road".
Into the air conditioned Smirnoff House for the stunning DJ Cry Baby (USA).
Packed club-setting for her Techno & Tech House set!
Spotted in VIP: Former XM Satellite Radio DJ Smooth now with Orlando Entertainment News.
Spotted at the Kinetic Field Stage: Orlando City Lions stadium announcer David Ziemba with Attic Nightclub resident DJ Flight.
Spotted on the beltway: Blog-favorite partier Jasmin with Leo
Back in the Smirnoff House for DJ duo Chus & Ceballos (E).
This was my favorite place in EDC. Little reason to stand behind 1000 other people at a main stage when you could experience superstars right there a few feet away!
Back outside, had the opportunity to go upstairs into Camping World Stadium for some awesome views down onto Tinker Field!
Around 5PM, the masses were flowing into the festival grounds! This IS a carnival so there are many rides offered.
On the main stage, an EDM set from DJ Don Diablo (NL).
As the crowd went crazy for his selections!
Expected a Dubstep / Hardstyle set from Jauz (USA) but he was pretty mainstream EDM too.
Couldn't get enough of Smirnoff House! Back inside for another round of CID (USA).
Followed by rapidly-rising DJ Julia Govor (RUS) doing House / Tech House.
Club atmosphere in here had everyone bouncing!
OK, back outdoors and darkness has arrived!
DJ Dash Berlin (USA) would also deliver an array of his own Trance hits plus more mainstream EDM hits.
Spotted on the dance floor: DJ TonyZ with bride Jenniffer.
Back upstairs in Camping World Stadium, the view of the masses is incredible!

 And an even more amazing view from the camera of Patrick Ledbetter!
Sold-out show!  The peeps want electronic dance music!
DJ Porter Robinson (USA) opening his set with hit "Language".
Main stage looking magnificent at night!
Back in Smirnoff for DJ duo Camelphat (GB).
People getting loud for House music!
Camelphat on the dance floor after their set!
As famed DJ Chris Lake (GB) followed with more House!
And another legend, DJ Mark Knight (GB) getting ready to take over!
But first, let me take a selfie!
First time seeing him since Labour Day weekend 2015 in Montreal at New City Gas.
Absolutely amazing vibe in here which I hope they bring back in the future!

 Another Patrick Ledbetter shot, this of DJ Morgan Page backstage in the suites area of Camping World Stadium.
On the main stage, Axwell (S) also did an EDM set which included some of his hits as part of Swedish House Mafia.
But by 11PM last night, I called it quits as I had had enough. I missed Nicole Moudaber (GB), missed Rabbit in the Moon (USA) & missed Jamie Jones (GB) but it was just too large, too crowded and too good to do everything!  But there is no doubt that a good time was had by all
