\"\"
After a one year gap, Electric Daisy Carnival<\/em> finally returned to Orlando and it was amazing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Arriving early, let’s take another look at the stages before they’re populated with people. Picture above, the kineticFIELD<\/em> main stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The circuitGROUNDS<\/em> secondary main stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The stereoBLOOM<\/em> stage programmed Friday by Bass Con<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The neonGARDEN <\/em>stage, programmed Friday by Factory 93<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Rynobus Art Car<\/em> stage. For this EDC <\/em>this stage is kind of the “locals” stage with Dubstep on Friday, House on Saturday and Breaks on Sunday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And a 6th stage was kind of a surprise, being added kind of “last minute”. Corona Electric Beach<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Two other areas of interest this year: Casa Bicardi <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And the Liquid Death Country Club<\/em>. Please note that there are no DJ’s at either of them. Sadly, no Smirnoff House<\/em> this year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The gates opened shortly after 1PM. The South Entrance is near the corner of Tampa Avenue & SR408. The North Entrance has been inside Camping World Stadium<\/em> the past several years but this year it’s further east, entering adjacent the neonGARDEN<\/em> stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
People are coming in, the music has started. Where to begin? We’ll begin right here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Opening b2b set from DJ Verse (USA) and DJ Ghost Lotus (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But even at this opening hour, already drawing some fans for their mostly Dubstep set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Corona Electric Beach<\/em> is always a favorite stage so we headed there next.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Opening set from DJ Edgar V (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He was delivering some much-needed House!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Since we were in the neighborhood, circuitGROUNDS <\/em>was next. This stage is in Tinker Field<\/em>, immediately to the west of the stadium.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just a handful had arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
For a Dubstep \/ Heavy Bass set from DJ Sloth (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He was the only “local” to play on this main stage yesterday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The stereoBLOOM stage was next.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just a few here too around 1:30PM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
For DJ Soren (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music here too a mix of Dubstep and Hard Dance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A half hour later the crowd was really picking up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Over to the neonGARDEN<\/em>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Back to the Circuit<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Heavy Bass set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
For DJ Rated R (USA). We thought we’d see him at Abduction 2021<\/em> earlier this year but you may recall an approaching squall line forced organizers to cancel it for the safety of guests and staff.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The early crowd.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

EDC <\/em>used to put the main kineticFIELD <\/em>stage on this spot but its gotten so huge that it’s been moved across Rio Grande Avenue from the stadium. So Tinker Field<\/em> is now home to circuitGROUNDS<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Here we spotted DJ Devault (USA) who went more House on us.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
