Experience

One performance that especially stood out to me was Lil Texas, because he came onto stage fully naked—covering his genitals with only a cowboy hat—which completely shocked me. This is probably one of the many reasons why the event is 18+. I spent a total of around $5000–which might seem expensive, but this is including the hotel, food, flight tickets, and shuttles. There are dedicated shuttles for EDC, which is the best option of travel. You pay one price: no surge pricing. It is always there to take you home, so no need for Uber’s or similar car riding services. The shuttle price is $129. All in all, EDC is an amazing experience and I think everyone should go.
