Colombia will Host Electric Daisy Carnival 2026

Colombia will host the inaugural Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in 2026. The two-day event will take place on October 10 and 11 in Medellín at the Complejo Deportivo Atanasio Girardot. This marks a significant milestone for Colombia's entertainment industry and positions Medellín as an emerging hub for dance culture in Latin America.

The announcement confirms the festival's debut on Colombian soil, reflecting the region's growing electronic music scene and Medellín's international reputation as a venue for major musical events.

EDC is one of the most influential electronic music festivals globally. Established in 1997 by Insomniac Events, the festival has evolved into a multisensory experience featuring international DJs, large-scale performances, art installations, carnival rides, and advanced audiovisual technology. With its headquarters in Las Vegas, EDC draws hundreds of thousands of attendees from around the world each year.

The festival's immersive production and futuristic carnival aesthetic have contributed to its status as the "mecca of electronic music."

Beyond its scale and aesthetic, EDC has played a pivotal role in expanding rave culture worldwide and popularizing genres like EDM, house, techno, trance, and drum & bass. The festival's impact extends beyond attendance figures, influencing the global music landscape and setting trends in electronic music.
