If you want to see the biggest names at EDC Las Vegas’ biggest stage, you’ll find yourself at the iconic kineticFIELD. This stage encapsulates the phrase “main stage energy” in all the best ways, and it’s one of the most beautiful and aesthetic stages you’ll ever see at a festival. The stage is redesigned each year, and always brings a fresh look and feel. With this stage hosting all types of genres, it truly is the heartbeat of EDC Las Vegas.

Legends, old and new, will be playing at this stage at all times, and this stage is known for having sunrise sets that feed the souls of ravers all across the world.

circuitGROUNDS

If you’re looking for the most immersive stage at EDC Las Vegas, you’ll find yourself in the middle of the screen-heavy circuitGROUNDS. This is the second biggest stage, and it makes it feel like you’re at a giant nightclub. This stage is redesigned each year, with the visuals being the main focus. Last year, it saw a new look that redefined what the stage looked like, so you can expect something breathtaking!

Some of the hottest names play at this stage, with rising talent usually playing earlier in the evening. This year, house and techno rule the circuitGROUNDS lineup, with artists like Sammy Virji, Chris Stussy, Beltran, Tiësto, Solomun, and I Hate Models. If you’re looking for a little(or a lot harder) sound, you can catch Wooli, LEVEL UP, Ray Volpe, 1991, or Bou. This is the stage you want to be at to see artists in an immersive way that you’ve never experienced before. – David

cosmicMEADOW

If you’re looking for somewhere that has every sound to offer and a place to sit down, the majestic cosmicMEADOW is the place for you. This is the only stage that takes advantage of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s bleachers, and it’s become a fan favorite because of it. If you don’t feel like sitting, the standing area is on grass, which is a nice relief for many ravers’ legs and backs. No major redesigns were announced for this stage, so the design this year should be similar to recent years, resembling a blooming flower. It has also been announced that HARD will be doing a stage takeover on Saturday.

This year’s cosmicMEADOW lineup is stacked with veterans and fresh faces alike. Some fresher faces to the stage include Roddy Lima, Jackie Hollander, San Pacho, and NOTION.

The stage is presented by Factory 93, with a stage takeover by Time Warp on Friday. The stage will be inside a structure for a third consecutive year, making it feel like a true mecca for house and techno.

This year’s neonGARDEN lineup is stacked from top to bottom. Friday will see big sets like DJ Tennis b2b Chloé Caillet, Peggy Gou, and the return of Eli Brown to the stage.
