Ever since 2009 it's been taking American cities by storm - from New York to Orlando, Puerto Rico, Dallas, Denver, to Los Angeles (which we all know is [...]

Festival season in New York prominently kicked off over the weekend with Electric Daisy Carnival NY , a small contingent of Insomniac 's international festival family. Though smaller in capacity and spread over two days rather than last year's three-day festival, EDC NY packed a lot of punch into Queens' Citi Field. The five stages were mapped out on a semi-circle in Citi Field's parking lot with genres and sub genres confined in opposite corners, while the two main stages housed a variety of headliners. Artists like Eric Prydz [...]
Last weekend the Electric Daisy Carnival descended on New York City, bringing 90,000 dance music obsessives to Citi Field in Queens for two days of ear-drum destroying bass. With 5 stages-packed to the brim with the dance music's most premier talent and a sea of neon-clad twenty-somethings in tow, EDC NY left its mark on the at-times-too-small parking lot in Queens. If you weren't in attendance or you are just looking to relive the experience, hop past the break for livesets from Porter Robinson , Afrojack , Nicky Romero and more. [...]

Don't worry! The video below is not graphic although the thought of losing a finger in your head is. A young festival goes has learnt his lesson at EDC New York after climbing inside of a chill out room dubbed the 'brain drop'. His finger appears to have been cut off while climbing and placing his hand near what appears to be a fan. With everyone clearly on drugs (including the climber) the situation is less than ideal because help appears to be few and far between in the first few moments. What will he tell his future [...]

The second Big Apple edition of Electric Daisy Carnival NY kicked off yesterday without a hitch (though Nervo, one of the biggest acts on the bill had to cancel their appearance at the last minute).

Closing out the festivities was a spectacular fireworks show. Have a look at some of what transpired in the photo gallery below. [...]
Last year Electric Daisy Carnival New York took over Met Life stadium for 3 days in Secaucus, NJ allowing patrons to dance on the same field that the NY Giants and NY Jets play. This year EDC NY embraced its namesake and set up shop at Citi Field in Queens, home of the constantly underperforming New York Mets. With baseball season in full swing - pun intended - questions were raised as to whether or not the festival would be held within the ballpark. As it turns out EDC NY will occupy the parking lots just outside of [...]
