Tinker Field Prepares for Its 15th Milestone
The Electric Daisy Carnival returns to Tinker Field from Friday, November 6, through Sunday, November 8, marking the 15th edition of the Central Florida festival. With more than 100 artists scheduled across five distinct stages, organizers at Insomniac have already locked in sold-out status for two of the weekend’s three days.
For electronic dance music fans driving up from South Florida, logistical planning requires quick coordination. The Brightline passenger train connects West Palm Beach to Orlando International Airport, offering an alternative to traffic before festival gates open from 1 p.m. to midnight daily.
Lineup Splits and Stage Takeovers
The official artist schedule distributes major electronic acts across the three-day calendar. David Guetta, Afrojack, Mau P, and Alesso anchor the Friday performances. Saturday brings Kaskade, Steve Aoki, Alison Wonderland, and Alan Walker to the grounds. Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Alok, Meduza, and SLANDER close out the festival on Sunday.
Beyond the mainstage performances, specialized curation defines the side environments. Factory 93, Bassrush, and Insomniac Records each manage dedicated stage takeovers. House and techno enthusiasts will find artists including Chris Lorenzo, Dennis Cruz, Franky Rizardo, Klangkuenstler, I Hate Models, Nico Moreno, and a joint set featuring Boys Noize and Brutalismus 3000. Bass and dubstep fans can catch Wooli, Levity, Ray Volpe, and ATLiens.

Several performers are booked specifically for sunset time slots, including Alesso on Friday, Alan Walker on Saturday, and SLANDER on Sunday. San Holo will perform a Wholesome Riddim Set on Sunday. Meanwhile, Prospa canceled an anticipated Friday night appearance, stating on Instagram that they require time to rest and recharge.
Ticketing Reality and Resort Expansion
Anyone hoping to purchase single-day admission for Friday or Saturday faces immediate limitations. The festival’s official ticket portal listed every single-day pass for Friday and Saturday as sold out, while three-day passes and Sunday tickets remained available. General admission requires attendees to be 18 and older, and VIP areas are restricted to guests 21 and older.
Security policies remain strict. All visitors must present a valid physical photo ID showing their date of birth, as digital IDs are prohibited. Re-entry is not permitted once a ticket holder leaves the venue for the day. Permitted bags are limited to clear containers measuring up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches.
This year introduces Hotel EDC Orlando at the Margaritaville Resort Orlando, running from November 6 through November 9. This marks the first East Coast version of the festival’s resort experience, providing guests with themed accommodations, an on-site concierge, and access to daytime events and afterparties.
As festival organizers put the finishing touches on Tinker Field under the banner of this year’s kineticJOURNEY theme, exact set times remain unreleased. Tickets and full lineup details stay accessible through the official EDC Orlando portal.
