One of Orlando's biggest annual music festivals is returning to Tinker Field from Nov. 6-8, bringing three days of electronic dance music, elaborate stage productions and thousands of fans together for Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) Orlando 2026.
Organized by Insomniac, the festival has announced its 2026 artist lineup, featuring David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Kaskade, Alesso, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Hardwell, Alison Wonderland and dozens of other performers representing a wide range of electronic music.
EDC has become one of the most recognizable electronic dance music festivals in the world. What began as a warehouse party in Los Angeles in 1997, founded by Insomniac CEO Pasquale Rotella, has grown into an international festival experience with events held across North America, Europe and Asia.
The Orlando edition first arrived in 2011 and has since become a major annual event for the city.
While music brings people to EDC, much of its identity comes from the experience surrounding it. Massive art installations, carnival attractions, elaborate costumes and immersive stage designs create an environment where attendees are encouraged to express themselves.
The festival's philosophy, "All Are Welcome Here," reflects a community built around acceptance and a shared love of music.
EDC also represents something familiar about Orlando itself. People from different backgrounds come together through creativity and shared experiences, making connections that extend beyond the festival grounds.
This year's lineup brings together internationally recognized DJs and producers alongside emerging talent from across the electronic music scene.
David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Alesso, Afrojack and Kaskade are among the major names appearing throughout the weekend.
Fans can also look forward to performances from Chris Lorenzo, Mau P, Disco Lines, Dennis Cruz, Meduza, San Holo, TroyBoi, Wooli and many others.
The festival will feature several back-to-back performances, including ACRAZE B2B CID, Deorro B2B DJ Diesel, Boys Noize B2B Brutalismus 3000 and Bou B2B Kanine.
Special sunset sets are also scheduled throughout the weekend, including performances by Alesso, Alan Walker, Adventure Club, SLANDER and Of The Trees.
The announced lineup offers a mix of house, techno, trance, bass music and other electronic genres across the 3 day event.

EDC has become a significant event for Orlando's hospitality and tourism economy.
In 2023, the festival reported more than 300,000 attendees over three days. According to economic figures previously reported by Orlando Life, visitors attending EDC in 2022 spent approximately $127.7 million at businesses throughout the Orlando region.
That activity reaches beyond Tinker Field, benefiting hotels, restaurants, transportation providers and other businesses that welcome festivalgoers throughout the weekend.
What we love the most is that the event brings together Orlando residents and visitors who share an interest in electronic music and the creative culture surrounding it.
