EDC Dusk Week 2027

EDC Dusk Week 2027 is the first of two festival weeks in Insomniac's landmark expansion of EDC Las Vegas into the Dusk Till Dawn format. Running May 11–16, 2027 — Monday through Saturday — it covers the Strip nightclub and pool party circuit leading into and including EDC Dusk Weekend (May 14–16, 2027) at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. While EDC Dusk (the festival itself) runs Thursday through Saturday night at the Speedway, the broader Dusk Week experience begins on Monday and gives the Las Vegas Strip six consecutive nights of elevated EDC-caliber programming before the full citywide experience continues into EDC Dawn Weekend (May 21–23).

Understanding the Dusk Till Dawn structure is essential context for planning Dusk Week. In 2026, EDC Las Vegas ran one three-day weekend (May 15–17) and the surrounding seven-day Strip event window was called EDC Week. Starting in 2027, Insomniac expanded the festival to two separate three-day weekends: EDC Dusk (May 14–16) and EDC Dawn (May 21–23). Each festival weekend has its own Strip-side event window — EDC Dusk Week (May 11–16) and EDC Dawn Week (May 18–23). The same artist lineup performs at both festival weekends, but the Strip nightclub and pool party programs for each week operate independently and are expected to feature different bookings at venues. The full 2027 EDC Las Vegas citywide experience spans thirteen days from May 11 through May 23.

EDC Dusk Week (May 11–16) and EDC Dawn Week (May 18–23) are not duplicates of each other. Venues traditionally book separate headliners for each week rather than repeating the same talent — a pattern established during EDC Week 2026 when individual venues booked a new headliner for each of the seven nights. Expect the two weeks to feature complementary but non-overlapping nightclub lineups, with the highest-demand bookings distributed across both weekends to maximize the citywide draw. If you are attending only one festival weekend, the Strip nightclub experience for that week will be fully self-contained.

Strip nightclub and pool party lineups for EDC Dusk Week 2027 had not been announced as of mid-2026. Artist announcements are expected starting late 2026 or early 2027, following the pattern of 2026 announcements when EDC Week nightclub lineups began dropping in February 2026, approximately 13 weeks before the event. This page will be updated as confirmed bookings are released. The core venues expected to anchor EDC Dusk Week — XS Nightclub, OMNIA Nightclub, OMNIA Dayclub, Hakkasan Nightclub, LIV Nightclub, LIV Beach, Marquee Nightclub, Marquee Dayclub, Encore Beach Club, Zouk Nightclub, and AYU Dayclub — are anticipated based on their history of EDC Week programming.

Monday, May 11 opens EDC Dusk Week as the lowest-intensity night of the six-day window. Monday programming historically features fewer bookings than mid-week and weekend nights, but early-arriving EDC attendees — those who fly in Sunday or Monday to secure the best hotel deals and avoid Thursday–Saturday crowds — make Monday Strip events more active than a typical Monday night. Guest list access on Monday is the easiest of the week, lines are shortest, and venue capacity is not stressed. Arrive early and enjoy the same venues that will be at peak intensity by the weekend.

Tuesday, May 12 sees the first wave of mid-week bookings as more attendees arrive in Las Vegas ahead of the festival. Tuesday nights during EDC Dusk Week are expected to follow the pattern of past EDC Week mid-week nights — venues open, guests are flowing in, but the sold-out capacity environment is reserved for Thursday onward. Tuesday is a strong night for first-time visitors who want a full EDC club experience without the intensity of a festival night.

Wednesday, May 13 represents the transition point of EDC Dusk Week — the night when Strip energy shifts from warm-up mode to full festival mode. Based on 2026 EDC Week patterns, Wednesday featured some of the week's highest-demand bookings (Chris Lorenzo at Marquee, Charlotte de Witte at Hakkasan, Mau P at EBC at Night) despite occurring before the festival itself started. Expect Wednesday May 13, 2027 to follow the same structure: top-tier headliners at multiple venues simultaneously, heavy guest list demand, and the first night of the week where arriving before midnight is critical for smooth entry. Submit guest list requests at least 72 hours ahead for Wednesday bookings.

Thursday, May 14 is EDC Dusk Night 1 — the opening night of the festival at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway — and simultaneously one of the biggest Strip nightclub nights of the week. Festival gates open around 7 PM at LVMS; for attendees who choose the Strip over the Speedway on Thursday, venues book premium headliners knowing they are competing for EDC attendees who arrive late or skip the opening festival night. The 2026 Thursday-before-festival pattern (Armin van Buuren at OMNIA, Diplo with special guest at XS, Dom Dolla at LIV, Charlotte de Witte at Hakkasan) set a high bar. EDC Dusk Night 1 in 2027 will see both the Speedway and the Strip operating simultaneously for the first time in the new two-weekend format.

Friday, May 15 is EDC Dusk Night 2 — historically the highest-demand night of any EDC festival weekend. In 2026, Friday was the night of FISHER's OMNIA Dayclub grand opening (morning through afternoon) and Tiesto at LIV plus The Chainsmokers at XS (evening) — the most sought-after guest list slots of the entire EDC Week. For 2027, Friday Night 2 is expected to be the peak booking night across all major Strip venues. Pool parties and dayclubs open at 11 AM and run until approximately 6 PM; nightclubs open at 10:30–11 PM and run until 5 AM. Guest list for Friday typically fills earliest in the week — submit requests as soon as announcements drop.

Saturday, May 16 is EDC Dusk Night 3 — the closing night of the Dusk festival weekend at LVMS — and the emotional peak of EDC Dusk Week on the Strip. Dayclubs book their signature headliners for Saturday afternoon. Nightclub headliners for Saturday Night 3 are traditionally among the festival's highest-profile bookings. After Saturday wraps, EDC Dawn Week begins Monday May 18 — giving attendees staying in Las Vegas for the full 12-day Dusk Till Dawn experience a one-day gap before the second Strip event window opens.

Guest list strategy for EDC Dusk Week: sign up as early as possible once lineups are announced. The general rule from 2026 EDC Week — submit 72 hours ahead for Wednesday through Friday, and even earlier for Saturday — applies here. Women receive free entry with a confirmed guest list all six nights. Men receive free or significantly reduced entry Monday through Wednesday and reduced (not free) entry Thursday through Saturday at most venues. Walk-up cover charges during EDC Dusk Week are expected to range $50–$150+ for men at peak venues and $30–$75+ for women without a list. NoCoverVegas guest list eliminates or significantly reduces these costs across all six nights.

XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas returns to EDC Week programming for the first time following its November 2026 grand reopening. XS closed in mid-2026 after 18 years as the flagship Las Vegas EDM venue for a full-scale renovation and rebirth. The reopened XS is expected to be a centerpiece of both EDC Dusk Week and EDC Dawn Week 2027, mirroring its historical role as one of the two or three most in-demand EDC Week venues alongside OMNIA Nightclub and Encore Beach Club. The 2026 version of XS hosted The Chainsmokers on EDC Night 2 — the venue's final EDC Week booking before the renovation closure. The 2027 reopened XS will be among the most anticipated EDC Dusk Week venues regardless of headliner announcement.

OMNIA Dayclub and OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace form the most powerful single-property venue combination for EDC Dusk Week. OMNIA Dayclub (46,000 square feet, opened May 2026) runs daytime programming from 11 AM; OMNIA Nightclub (capacity 3,500+) runs evening programming from 10:30 PM; the two venues connect via an enclosed bridge, making the Caesars Palace property a full day-to-night EDC experience. In 2026, the OMNIA Dayclub opening weekend overlapped with EDC Week (May 15–17), featuring FISHER, RUFUS DU SOL, and Martin Garrix. For EDC Dusk Week 2027, both OMNIA venues are expected to book top-tier global DJ headliners for Thursday through Saturday.

Getting around during EDC Dusk Week requires the same logistics planning as any major Las Vegas event week. The Strip spans 4.2 miles, with the core nightclub cluster running approximately 1.5 miles from ARIA (Marquee Dayclub) to Wynn (XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club). Walking this zone takes 20–30 minutes between far endpoints and is often faster than rideshare between midnight and 2 AM, when surge pricing on the Strip can reach $40–70 for a half-mile trip. Venues on the same hotel property — OMNIA Dayclub and OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars, Marquee Dayclub and Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan, LIV Beach and LIV Nightclub at Fontainebleau — offer seamless day-to-night transitions. For transport to EDC at LVMS (12 miles north), the Insomniac shuttle pass is the most reliable option — rideshare surge on festival exit at 5–6 AM regularly reaches $80–150 from LVMS back to the Strip.

Dress code on the Strip during EDC Dusk Week is completely separate from festival attire. Rave wear, costumes, LED accessories, and kandi are standard at the Speedway but not accepted at Strip nightclubs. Nightclub dress code for men: collared or fitted dress shirt, no shorts, no athletic wear, no sandals. Women: dresses, skirts, or dress tops. Pool parties allow swimwear with cover-ups at entry. If you are doing the festival in the evening and a Strip venue the same night — a common plan for Monday through Wednesday when the festival is not running — pack a separate outfit and change at your hotel. Dress code violations during EDC Dusk Week result in door denial even with a confirmed guest list; venues enforce strictly during high-demand weeks.

Budget planning for EDC Dusk Week: Strip nightclub and pool party events are free with a NoCoverVegas guest list for women, and free or reduced for men Monday through Wednesday. Festival tickets (purchased separately from Strip events) are $399.99 per weekend or $599.99 for both Dusk and Dawn weekends. Hotels on the Strip during EDC Dusk Week (May 11–16) will be in high demand — book as early as possible, as properties within walking distance of major venues (Caesars Palace, The Cosmopolitan, Fontainebleau, Wynn) will price at $300–$700+ per night during peak festival nights. Off-Strip options (Henderson, Summerlin, downtown) reduce hotel costs to $100–$200/night at the cost of rideshare expenses. Nightclub guest list through NoCoverVegas remains free across all six nights of EDC Dusk Week regardless of hotel location.
