EDC Orlando 2026 is officially taking over Tinker Field from November 6-8 with three days of electronic music, carnival rides, giant stage production and enough LEDs to make normal nighttime lighting seem deeply undercommitted.
The 2026 lineup is already huge: David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Kaskade, Afrojack, Alesso, Alison Wonderland, Mau P, Chris Lorenzo, Steve Aoki, SLANDER, Wooli, I Hate Models, Nico Moreno, Klangkuenstler, Meduza, ATLiens and dozens more.
And Insomniac has already released the artists by day, which means the weekend’s first round of scheduling anxiety can begin months before the exact set times arrive.
➜ The real story: EDC Orlando has become the slightly more manageable cousin of EDC Las Vegas without actually becoming small. You still get giant stages, carnival rides, techno, house, bass, sunset sets and complete sensory overload, but you can theoretically remember which hotel room you booked afterward.
Three-day tickets are still available.
Current all-in pricing is $303.99 for GA, $369.99 for GA+ and $659.66 for VIP.
Single-day tickets are live too, although Friday and Saturday VIP have already sold out.
EDC Orlando 2026 takes place Friday, November 6 through Sunday, November 8 at Tinker Field in Orlando, Florida.
The festival runs from 1 PM until midnight every day.
Tinker Field is at 287 S Tampa Avenue, roughly two miles from Downtown Orlando.
It’s also about 14 miles from Orlando International Airport, according to Insomniac’s current venue guide.
EDC Orlando is an 18+ festival.
You need valid government-issued photo identification to enter.
VIP is restricted to guests 21 and older, and you also need to be 21 to purchase or consume alcohol.
There’s no re-entry.
Once your pass has been scanned for the day and you leave Tinker Field, you can’t come back inside that same day.
There’s also no camping.
Get current festival information directly from the official EDC Orlando website.
The EDC Orlando 2026 lineup covers house, techno, dubstep, drum and bass, melodic electronic music, hard dance and basically every other direction modern dance music has wandered into.
Friday is loaded.
David Guetta, Afrojack and Alesso are three of the biggest names, with Alesso playing a sunset set.
Chris Lorenzo, Mau P, HAYLA, KREAM, Joshwa, Interplanetary Criminal, Levity, Wooli and Adventure Club are there too.
There are several interesting B2Bs Friday, including Bou B2B Kanine, Benda B2B Vastive and Prospa B2B Josh Baker.
Saturday moves in several completely different directions at once.
Kaskade, Alison Wonderland and Steve Aoki are among the biggest bookings.
Alan Walker gets a sunset set.
Nico Moreno, Ray Volpe, Dennis Cruz, Disco Lines, Franky Rizardo, ALLEYCVT, LAYZ and Rossi. are also on Saturday.
Skull Machine brings Black Tiger Sex Machine and Kai Wachi together, while ACRAZE B2B CID covers a very different part of the dance floor.
Sunday closes with Martin Garrix and Hardwell among the top names.
I Hate Models, Klangkuenstler, Meduza, ATLiens, Of The Trees, SLANDER, TroyBoi and San Holo are also playing.
Then there are the sets that look designed specifically to make somebody text their group chat in all caps.
Deorro goes B2B with DJ Diesel.
Boys Noize goes B2B with Brutalismus 3000.
San Holo is doing a Wholesome Riddim Set, SLANDER has a sunset set and Of The Trees gets one too.

The daily artist splits are official, but exact EDC Orlando 2026 set times haven’t been published yet.
Insomniac says set times will be released during the days leading up to the festival.
They’ll appear on the EDC Orlando website, social channels, email updates and the Insomniac mobile app.
The festival map will be released before the event too.
That will matter because EDC Orlando spreads artists across several different stages and sound worlds.
One minute you can be watching giant mainstage house production, then suddenly you’ve wandered into hard techno or bass music and your original schedule has been peacefully abandoned.
Check the official EDC Orlando lineup and Insomniac app as November gets closer.
EDC Orlando is using all-in pricing for 2026, which makes the ticket page considerably less annoying than discovering an entire second ticket price at checkout.
The current three-day GA Experience Pass is $303.99.
That breaks down to a $276.99 base ticket plus $27 in fees, before applicable taxes and delivery charges.
A $19.99 deposit payment-plan option is also currently advertised.
Three-day GA+ is $369.99.
GA+ adds expedited dedicated entry and premium air-conditioned restroom trailers.
Three-day VIP is currently $659.66.
VIP adds its own elevated festival experience with dedicated viewing areas, faster entry, upgraded amenities, food and drink options and VIP-specific activities.
Just remember that VIP is strictly 21+.
If you’re 20 and accidentally buy VIP, the festival is not going to become flexible because your birthday is emotionally close.
Get current pricing from the official EDC Orlando 2026 tickets page.
You don’t have to commit to all three days.
Friday GA currently costs $149.22.
Friday GA+ is $200.97.
Friday VIP was listed at $241.37 and is already sold out.
Saturday GA is $149.22.
Saturday GA+ is $200.97.
Saturday VIP was $240.37 and is sold out too.
Sunday currently gives you the cheapest GA entry of the weekend.
Sunday GA is $138.87.
Sunday GA+ is $200.97.
Sunday VIP is still available at $231.02.
Given that Sunday has Martin Garrix, Hardwell, I Hate Models, Klangkuenstler, Meduza, ATLiens and SLANDER, the cheaper GA price isn’t exactly giving “quiet closing day.”
EDC Orlando doesn’t offer camping.
If sleeping in a tent next to Tinker Field was part of your vision, Insomniac has very clearly chosen beds.
The official Hotel EDC Orlando runs November 6-9 at Margaritaville Resort Orlando.
Hotel EDC turns the resort into an extension of the festival with daytime pool parties, official afterparties, wellness sessions, pop-up events, performers and a dedicated Headliner HQ.
Rooms and suites currently start at $1,445 per person for a three-night stay based on double occupancy, including taxes and fees.
Private villas and cottages are available for larger groups too.
Hotel packages can include a limited number of GA, GA+ or VIP festival passes if you still need admission.
There’s even a complimentary glam station, because apparently there is an official point in festival evolution where glitter application becomes a hotel amenity.
Get the current package details from the official Hotel EDC Orlando page.
Insomniac operates an official EDC Orlando shuttle programme with direct access near the festival grounds.
Shuttle passes come in one-day and three-day versions with round-trip service.
The current shuttle page lists three-day passes at $119 for Tier 1 and $129 for Tier 2.
One-day passes are listed at $55 for Tier 1 and $60 for Tier 2.
One important caveat: the official shuttle page is still displaying its stop list under a 2025 heading, so I wouldn’t treat those individual hotel pickup locations as finalized 2026 stops yet.
The official programme itself is confirmed for EDC Orlando, and updated stop information should be checked before booking a hotel around one specific line.
The current operating pattern has shuttles leaving continuously during the afternoon and returns beginning before the festival ends.
Get the latest through the official EDC Orlando shuttle page.
If you’re planning to drive, this is the part worth reading before arriving in Orlando.
Insomniac describes general parking as extremely limited.
Current general parking is listed at $40.
Premier Parking is planned too, although the current festival page still lists 2026 purchasing information as coming soon.
Premier Parking uses Lot 1 near West Church Street and Rio Grande Avenue.
Parking lots open at 10 AM.
There’s no tailgating.
You can’t sleep in your vehicle.
Vehicles also have to be removed after the festival each night, with cars remaining after 2 AM subject to towing.
Rideshare is another option, and Lyft is currently listed as the official EDC Orlando rideshare partner.
Get updated driving information from the official EDC Orlando parking and drop-off page.
Tinker Field gives EDC Orlando a weirdly perfect mix of historic Orlando and giant futuristic rave production.
The original baseball venue dates to 1914.
It served as a spring-training home for Major League Baseball teams including the Brooklyn Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, Washington Senators and Minnesota Twins.
Tinker Field was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
EDC Orlando arrived in 2011 and has been held at the site since the Orlando edition began.
The modern festival is considerably less baseball.
EDC fills the site with enormous stage structures, carnival rides, costumed performers, interactive environments, art installations and the kind of lighting production where even the trees seem like they have a lighting designer.
The official EDC philosophy calls the crowd “Headliners,” which is corny enough that it should probably fail but has somehow become part of what makes the festival work.
The audience isn’t treated as background decoration.
The costumes, kandi, totems, outfits and general visual chaos are effectively another layer of production.
EDC Orlando does not allow ins and outs.
Once your ticket is scanned for the day, you’re inside until you decide to leave.
If you leave, that day is over.
You can enter late with an unused ticket, but Insomniac says final entry is allowed only until one hour before the festival ends.
Valid government-issued photo ID is mandatory.
School IDs, birth certificates and expired IDs aren’t accepted.
Foreign government-issued identification has additional rules if you’re using it to access alcohol service or VIP areas.
That’s the kind of information worth solving before you’re standing outside Tinker Field in rave boots trying to negotiate with a security policy.
EDC Orlando launched in 2011 as the Florida branch of Insomniac’s Electric Daisy Carnival universe.
The idea was already established: electronic music isn’t supposed to be the only attraction.
The festival itself is the attraction.
That means giant stage architecture, carnival rides, art, performers, interactive spaces and a crowd encouraged to participate in the visual world rather than simply watch it.
Over time, Orlando grew from a smaller regional EDC into one of the major electronic festivals on the American calendar.
The 2026 lineup makes that pretty obvious.
David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Hardwell and Afrojack represent enormous mainstage dance music.
I Hate Models, Klangkuenstler and Nico Moreno pull harder techno into the same weekend.
Wooli, ATLiens, Boogie T, ALLEYCVT and Ray Volpe give bass music plenty of room.
Chris Lorenzo, Mau P, Dennis Cruz, Josh Baker and Prospa cover still more corners of house and club music.
That’s really EDC Orlando’s current strength.
It’s big enough to feel like EDC without requiring a pilgrimage across the Nevada desert.
Florida gets the Electric Sky too.
EDC Orlando 2026 takes place Friday, November 6 through Sunday, November 8 at Tinker Field in Orlando, Florida. Festival hours are 1 PM to midnight every day.
The EDC Orlando 2026 lineup includes David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Kaskade, Afrojack, Alesso, Alison Wonderland, Mau P, Chris Lorenzo, Steve Aoki, SLANDER, Wooli, Alan Walker, I Hate Models, Nico Moreno, Klangkuenstler, Meduza, ATLiens and many more.
As of August 14, official all-in three-day pricing is $303.99 for GA, $369.99 for GA+ and $659.66 for VIP. Friday and Saturday VIP are sold out, while Sunday VIP remains available at $231.02.
