Megarave Set Times: Electric Daisy Carnival (Fri & Sat)
The Talent at EDC 2009 | Photo by Drew "Rukes" Ressler (website | LAist Galleries ) / used with permission
North America's largest electronic dance music festival, the Electric Daisy Carnival, returns to Los Angeles this Friday and Saturday at the Coliseum and Exposition Park. Both days feature twelve hours of fun (2 p.m. to 2 a.m.) Last year's event featured 135,000 people over both days and this weekend looks to be more of the same.
Unlike last year's all ages event, this year's multi-stage festival is restricted to those above 16. Check out LAist's 2009 EDC photo galleries here and here. The EDC website has a FAQ, should you have any questions.
Set times are subject to change (due to DJ travel issue, or DJ ecstasy issues.)

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
