EDC Week: Advance Look At The Festival

We're just 2 days away from the first day of the 9th Edition of Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando. Bigger than ever, around 240,000 guests are expected across all days! You better believe this is important to the City of Orlando and Orange County.

If you're still looking for tickets or are picking up at Will Call, you'll find the Camping World Stadium Box Office at the northeast corner of the stadium along Church Street. The North entrance to the festival grounds are also located in this corner.

You'll find the South entrance to the grounds at McCracken Field to the southwest of the stadium. If you're coming with a car, you'd be wise to park on the south side of TOLL SR408 and walk back to this side. The festival's 6th stage, Corona Electric Beach, is located not far from here, roughly in the same location it was in the last two years.

Circling the lake along the perimeter, Memory Lane is a pedestrian-only pathway to quickly get you from one side of the grounds to the other.

That lake has always been a barrier to quick movements but this year there is a new bridge called Daisy Lane that runs from Corona Beach over to the new stereoBLOOM Stage.

Directly west of the stadium in Tinker Field is the circuitGROUNDS Stage. The was the traditional home of the kineticFIELD main Stage which is so huge this year they had to construct it elsewhere.

Directly south of the stadium and very close to where neonGARDEN used to stand in prior years will be a very new stage for EDC-Orlando: stereoBLOOM.

Meanwhile neonGARDEN has a new home directly east of the stadium in what is usually an unpaved parking lot. While the tent may look familiar, please notice that the tent has 8 teets this year versus 6 teets in prior years.

And now what you've been waiting for! Located in the grassy parking lot where circuitGROUNDS was located the past two years, the massive main stage kineticFIELD. Unlike the past cG Stages here which faced directly west, this one is so huge that they have to angle it so it actually faces southwest!
