EDC Week 2026 Nightclub Events: 200+ Artists, 18 Venues, Seven Nights
Electric Daisy Carnival’s 30th anniversary brings the largest EDC Week in Las Vegas history — seven nights of confirmed nightclub and pool party events stretching from Wednesday May 13 through Monday May 18 and beyond, with programming across every major Strip venue. This is not the same week-around-EDC programming from prior years. Insomniac’s partnership with Wynn Nightlife, Tao Group, Fontainebleau, Resorts World, and MGM Grand has locked in a lineup that treats the week as a festival in its own right, separate from the main event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The confirmed events include Calvin Harris headlining Encore Beach Club on Saturday, The Chainsmokers headlining XS Nightclub on Saturday, John Summit and Dom Dolla at LIV Beach on Friday, and the grand opening of OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace across all three festival nights — Fisher on Friday, RÜFÜS DU SOL on Saturday, Martin Garrix on Sunday. The World Party Parade on Thursday May 14 shuts down the north end of the Strip for a free, open-to-all techno procession that begins at Las Vegas Festival Grounds near Circus Circus at 6:00 PM. The Wednesday through Monday window gives you seven distinct nights of nightclub programming at venues that normally operate only Friday through Sunday. Wednesday and Thursday events are less crowded than the festival-adjacent nights — guests on list, manageable lines, the same headliner-caliber talent playing to a fraction of the Saturday crowd. The question is not whether there is something happening — it is which of the fifty-plus events you pick for each night of the week.
Wednesday May 13: Opening Night — Mau P at EBC, Ray Volpe at Zouk, Chris Lorenzo at Marquee
EDC Week opens Wednesday May 13 with three confirmed headliner nightclub events that set the tone for the week. Mau P headlines EBC at Night at Wynn at 10:30 PM, marking one of the most anticipated opening-night shows of any EDC Week to date. Mau P — Maurits Philipsen, the Dutch house and electro-house producer whose track Gimme That Bounce became an international DJ standard — has spent the past two years becoming one of the most reliably powerful performers on the Strip and one of the most requested artists on the cosmicMEADOW stage at EDC. His Wednesday opening sets at EBC are characteristically high-energy: rapid-fire builds, crowd-commanding drops, and a setlist that moves between his original productions and international hits at a pace that leaves no room for the crowd to disengage. The Wednesday EBC crowd is meaningfully smaller than Saturday — guest list is broadly available for both men and women, and arrival by 11:30 PM gets you past the check-in desk without a significant wait. Ray Volpe opens EDC Week at Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World. The New York-born bass producer — whose 2022 single LASERBEAM became the most-played track at EDC Las Vegas and the number-one dubstep track of the year on Beatport — landed his first Las Vegas residency at Zouk in 2026, making his EDC Week appearance at the home venue a natural centerpiece of the opening night program. Zouk’s signature surround-sound system is built for bass-forward music, and Volpe’s production style translates exceptionally well to the physical listening environment of Resorts World’s purpose-built nightclub. Chris Lorenzo opens EDC Week at Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan. The British producer and one-half of Anti Up — the project he shares with Chris Lake — brings his House & Bass sound to Marquee’s multi-room format, where the Library room is suited to the darker, more textured edge of his productions. Wednesday is the lowest-pressure opening of the week. Show up to any of these three events, arrive by midnight, and you will encounter a venue at about sixty percent of its Saturday capacity — which means better sound positioning, faster service, and a more energetic-per-square-foot crowd than any peak night can deliver.
Thursday May 14: World Party Parade, Hardwell B2B Maddix, and Marquee Dayclub DayTrip
Thursday May 14 is the most historically significant single day in EDC Week’s thirty-year history. Insomniac founder Pasquale Rotella announced the first-ever World Party Parade as the centerpiece of the 30th anniversary celebration — a free, open-to-all techno procession along the north end of the Las Vegas Strip beginning at 6:00 PM at Las Vegas Festival Grounds near Circus Circus. The parade features thirty-plus art cars in five entertainment groups, performers, marching bands, and a return-party at the festival grounds featuring special sets from confirmed artists. The Clark County Commission approved the event in March 2026 and projected nearly 30,000 attendees. The Strip has never been used as a parade ground for electronic music at this scale, and it sets up the rest of Thursday night with a crowd already warmed up and looking for the next venue. The official EDC Las Vegas pre-party at Downtown Las Vegas Events Center features Hardwell B2B Maddix as the headlining act. Hardwell — Dutch DJ Robbert van de Corput, DJ Mag number-one two times — is returning to EDC Las Vegas 2026 for the first time since 2018, and the pre-party at the Events Center gives the Las Vegas crowd a preview of the energy he will bring to the kineticFIELD closing set. The B2B format with Maddix makes this the night for fans of euphoric, stadium-scale progressive house who want the experience at venue scale rather than festival scale. Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan launches Thursday programming with its EDC Week DayTrip event at 11:00 AM, featuring Eli Brown, Danny Avila, and Rebuke. DayTrip is Marquee Dayclub’s recurring tech-house day series, and the EDC Week edition brings the biggest names in the current tech-house underground to the rooftop pool deck overlooking the Strip. Eli Brown’s Relief Records catalog and Rebuke’s Repopulate Mars sound set an underground tone that contrasts sharply with the big-room energy of the evening events — Thursday at EDC Week gives you the full spectrum of the electronic music landscape within a single day.
Friday May 15: OMNIA Dayclub Grand Opening with Fisher + LIV Beach with John Summit
Friday May 15 is the first of three EDC festival nights at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the opening day of the most anticipated new venue in Las Vegas pool party history. OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace opens its doors for the first time with Fisher as the headliner for the grand opening. The 46,000-square-foot dayclub sits on Las Vegas Boulevard with direct access to the OMNIA Nightclub via a dedicated bridge, creating a 121,000-square-foot combined entertainment complex that has no parallel on the Strip. Fisher — the Australian house producer and DJ whose tracks Losing It and Stop It have become defining records of the modern house era — is the right artist for a venue opening that needs to communicate what OMNIA Dayclub will stand for: a tech-house and melodic house identity that sets it apart from the big-room programming that dominates Encore Beach Club. The Friday Fisher set at OMNIA Dayclub starts as a daytime pool event and extends into the evening as guests who arrive from the Speedway return for the after-hours window. Guest list for the OMNIA Dayclub grand opening is available through nocovervegas.com — sign up early, as the grand opening attracts a guest-list-heavy crowd that fills the venue quickly. LIV Beach at Fontainebleau Las Vegas confirms John Summit and Dom Dolla for Friday May 15 — the first pool party double-header of EDC Week featuring two of the four most popular names in tech-house globally right now. John Summit — the Chicago producer whose Summit Records catalog and DJ sets have made him the defining artist of accessible tech-house — pairs with Dom Dolla, the Melbourne DJ whose Pump the Brakes and Chemistry became two of the most-played records in Las Vegas nightlife in the past three years. LIV Beach starting time is 11:30 AM, with the double-header event running through late afternoon. The venue at Fontainebleau sits at the north end of the Strip, which makes it a natural complement to the afternoon crowd from the World Party Parade lingering in the area from the previous evening.
Saturday May 16: Peak Night — Calvin Harris at EBC, Chainsmokers at XS, RÜFÜS DU SOL at OMNIA Dayclub
Saturday May 16 is the highest-demand single night of EDC Week 2026 and arguably the most stacked single night of Las Vegas nightclub programming in the city’s history. Three separate confirmed headliner events run simultaneously: Calvin Harris at Encore Beach Club, The Chainsmokers at XS Nightclub, and RÜFÜS DU SOL at OMNIA Dayclub. Calvin Harris headlining Encore Beach Club on Saturday is the marquee event of the entire week. Harris — the Scottish DJ and producer who has spent fifteen years building a catalog of chart-defining records including Summer, This Is What You Came For, and Giant — returned to Wynn Nightlife in 2026 for the first time since 2023 with an exclusive two-year commitment covering both XS and EBC dates. His EDC Week Saturday headliner at EBC is the highest-demand Wynn event of the year. Encore Beach Club holds approximately 3,500 guests at full Saturday capacity across its main pool deck, private cabanas, and main stage platform. Support comes from Tyson O’Brien. Guest list for women closes at midnight; men’s guest list on Calvin Harris Saturday is limited and arrival before 11:30 PM is strongly recommended. The Chainsmokers headlining XS Nightclub on Saturday is the companion event at Wynn — the duo of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart have been XS residents for multiple consecutive years, and their EDC Week Saturday appearance is a returning anchor of the Wynn calendar. XS Nightclub at Encore is an indoor-outdoor nightclub with the outdoor patio overlooking the pool as one of the best late-night Strip environments in Las Vegas — the combination of XS pool views, late-May desert warmth, and Chainsmokers’ crossover electronic-pop set is a reliable formula. RÜFÜS DU SOL perform the second night of the OMNIA Dayclub opening weekend. The Grammy-winning Australian trio blend live instrumentation with deep house and techno production in a style that distinguishes them from every other headliner in EDC Week’s lineup. Their Innerbloom is considered one of the greatest electronic tracks of the 2010s and typically delivers the most emotionally resonant moment of any set they play. OMNIA Dayclub’s 46,000-square-foot space and outdoor Skybar component are specifically designed for the immersive, extended-set format that RÜFÜS DU SOL brings.
Sunday May 17: Festival Closing Night — Martin Garrix at OMNIA Dayclub and After-Hours
Sunday May 17 closes the three-night festival run and delivers the final major headliner events of the peak EDC Week window. Martin Garrix headlines the third and final OMNIA Dayclub grand opening weekend event — the Dutch DJ and producer who performed the closing set at the Olympics Opening Ceremony in Tokyo 2021 brings a big-room progressive house set built for maximum crowd impact to the new 46,000-square-foot venue. Garrix’s Animals, Tremor, and In the Name of Love catalog is designed for moments of collective elevation — the Sunday closing energy of EDC Week makes his set the natural capstone of the OMNIA Dayclub opening run. OMNIA Dayclub guest list for Sunday is available via nocovervegas.com, and unlike Saturday, Sunday arrival windows are typically more relaxed — arriving by 1:00 PM for a 12:00 PM event is sufficient, and the evening Skybar extension keeps the venue open as festival-goers return from the Speedway. The Sunday after-hours ecosystem during EDC Week extends until 9:00 AM Monday morning. Drai’s After Hours at The Cromwell runs its extended session from 1:00 AM through 9:00 AM, operating from the basement Drai’s space — dark, intimate, underground-oriented DJ sets that capture the post-festival crowd seeking a more warehouse-feeling experience than the production-heavy main Strip venues. Marquee Nightclub also extends hours on Sunday EDC Week through sunrise. The Sunday returning-from-festival crowd reaches the Strip between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM, and venues that stay open through this window fill organically as thousands of people exit the Speedway shuttles looking for an extension of the night. OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace — directly connected to OMNIA Dayclub via the bridge — runs its own Sunday nightclub program independently, giving guests who want the full Caesars campus experience the option of moving between the dayclub outdoor space, the bridge connection, and the nightclub main room within a single evening.
Monday May 18 and Tuesday May 19: Extended EDC Week Programming
EDC Week 2026 does not end when the festival does. Monday May 18 and Tuesday May 19 carry confirmed headliner bookings that make staying an extra day or two genuinely worthwhile. David Guetta and Kaskade headline separate events at LIV Nightclub and XS Nightclub on Monday — the post-festival recovery night that many regular EDC Week attendees consider the most underrated night of the entire week. Monday’s crowd is self-selected: the people still in Las Vegas are the ones who came specifically for EDC Week rather than the festival alone, and the energy is concentrated in a way that peak Saturday cannot replicate because capacity is lower and commitment is higher. David Guetta at LIV Nightclub at Fontainebleau brings his catalog of crossover EDM and big-room house to one of the strongest production environments on the Strip north end. Guetta’s ability to command a room with a mix of his own records and contemporary EDM is one of the most consistent skills in DJ performance today. Kaskade — the Chicago-born Ryan Raddon, one of the founding names of progressive house and deep house in the United States — at XS Nightclub on Monday delivers a contrast to the high-energy peak-night programming: slower builds, emotional harmonic movement, the kind of four-to-the-floor journey that works best at 1:00 AM when the crowd has already had its peak experience and wants something more considered. Monday guest list at both LIV and XS is broadly available for men and women — the easiest guest list access of any major EDC Week event. Tuesday May 19 features Martin Garrix returning to the Strip for a nightclub set at OMNIA Nightclub alongside Justin Mylo, bringing the EDC Week bookends to a full circle. Garrix at OMNIA Nightclub operates under different programming from his OMNIA Dayclub appearances — the nightclub format privileges extended mixing and structural DJ performance over the outdoor festival-adjacent energy of the dayclub. The Tuesday Garrix set at OMNIA is one of the rare opportunities to catch a headline-tier artist in an intimate nightclub setting during EDC Week, when the crowd has thinned from its Saturday peak and the venue is at its best listening capacity.
New for 2026: OMNIA Dayclub, Tailgate Beach Club, and the Transformed EDC Week Dayclub Landscape
EDC Week 2026 is the first EDC Week with two brand-new major venues in the lineup. OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace opens on May 15 — the same Friday that the festival begins — making it impossible to separate the opening of this venue from the EDC Week narrative. The 46,000-square-foot property was developed by Tao Group Hospitality as a direct connection to OMNIA Nightclub, creating a dayclub-to-nightclub pipeline that operates simultaneously rather than sequentially. The Skybar rooftop component adds a second distinct space above the main pool deck with Strip-facing views that no other dayclub currently offers at this vantage point. The EDC Week grand opening lineup — Fisher, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Martin Garrix across three consecutive nights — was designed specifically to launch the venue at maximum cultural velocity. Tailgate Beach Club at Mandalay Bay also opened for its inaugural season in 2026, introducing the first sports-driven dayclub concept to Las Vegas: 2,000-person capacity, 125-foot LED screens, 360-degree viewing, three heated pools, and a programmatic identity that combines DJ performances with live sports viewing in a combination that Mandalay Bay’s position at the south end of the Strip makes logistically accessible from the Allegiant Stadium area. Tailgate launched with Snoop Dogg as the grand opening headliner. Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM Grand, now in its second full season, confirmed EDC Week programming with Calvin Harris listed among featured artists for the pool party calendar. The combined effect of these new venues on the EDC Week landscape is significant: the 2026 edition has more total pool party capacity, more headliner-tier dayclub acts, and a more geographically distributed Strip footprint than any prior year. Groups can now plan an EDC Week where no two days visit the same venue type, and the dayclub-to-nightclub pipeline at both the Wynn campus and the Caesars campus allows genuine day-to-evening programming continuity.
Guest List Strategy for EDC Week Nightclub Events
EDC Week guest list operates differently than a standard Las Vegas weekend, and understanding the tiers of access by night and venue is the most important logistical decision you will make for the week. Wednesday and Thursday: easiest guest list access of the entire week. Women’s guest list is broadly available at all major nightclubs and pool parties. Men’s guest list is available at most venues with arrival before 12:30 AM. These are the nights to visit venues that will be impossible on Saturday — EBC at Night with Mau P on Wednesday is a world-class nightclub event at thirty percent of the difficulty of the Saturday Calvin Harris show at the same venue. Sign up through nocovervegas.com for a confirmation text with your arrival window and real-time updates as the event approaches. Friday: LIV Beach (John Summit and Dom Dolla) and OMNIA Dayclub (Fisher grand opening) are the two highest-demand Friday events. Both are daytime events — arrive by 1:00 PM for LIV Beach and by 12:00 PM for OMNIA Dayclub to guarantee entry on guest list. Evening nightclub events on Friday are more accessible than Saturday. Saturday: the most restricted guest list night of EDC Week 2026. Women’s guest list at EBC (Calvin Harris) closes by midnight — arrive before 11:30 PM. Men’s guest list at EBC on Calvin Harris Saturday is limited; arrival before 11:00 PM is the safe window. XS Nightclub (The Chainsmokers) follows the same Wynn policy as EBC next door. OMNIA Dayclub (RÜFÜS DU SOL) is a daytime event — arrive by 1:00 PM for guest list access on the grand opening Saturday. Sunday: guest list opens back up for both day and evening events. OMNIA Dayclub (Martin Garrix) is accessible with arrival by 12:30 PM. Monday and Tuesday: easiest access of the extended EDC Week window. Sign up, show up before 12:30 AM, and you are in at no cover or standard-reduced cover at all major venues.
Dress Code, Lines, and Entry Logistics for EDC Week
The practical logistics of EDC Week nightclub entry differ from a standard Las Vegas weekend primarily in volume. Lines at Encore Beach Club, XS, and OMNIA form by 10:30 PM on Thursday through Saturday and can run 30 to 45 minutes for general admission by midnight on Saturday. The three mechanisms to manage this are VIP table service, which bypasses general admission lines entirely through a dedicated entry; guest list, which puts you in a separate faster-moving line; and arriving before the volume peaks, which means 10:30 PM to 11:00 PM on Thursday and Friday and 10:30 PM or earlier on Saturday. Dress code at EDC Week is the same as any Las Vegas nightclub weekend: collared shirts required for men at Encore Beach Club, XS, OMNIA, Marquee, Hakkasan, and Zouk — no athletic wear, no shorts, no sandals. Women’s dress code is fashionable going-out attire. Pool party dress code is more relaxed: swimwear and cover-ups for daytime events, with a transition to going-out attire for the evening programming at OMNIA Dayclub’s Skybar component. Bring a valid government-issued ID with a legible birthdate — machine-scan ID verification at major venues will reject damaged or unreadable cards. Las Vegas nightclubs and pool parties are strictly 21-plus with no exceptions during EDC Week. Ground transportation: the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a 20 to 30 minute drive from the Strip, and rideshare surge during EDC festival hours runs $50 to $100 each way. EDC offers official shuttle passes from multiple Strip pickup points. Buy the shuttle pass for festival nights and use rideshare credit for Strip-only days. The combination of a shuttle pass for the Speedway and a guest list through nocovervegas.com for the nightclubs gives you the most cost-efficient path through EDC Week 2026.

Is Calvin Harris performing at EDC Week 2026 in Las Vegas?
Yes. Calvin Harris is confirmed at Encore Beach Club at Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday May 16, 2026, headlining the peak night of EDC Week. Support comes from Tyson O’Brien. Harris returned to Wynn Nightlife in 2026 for the first time since 2023 under an exclusive two-year commitment covering dates at both XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club. The Saturday EBC show is the highest-demand event of the entire EDC Week calendar. Women’s guest list closes by midnight — men’s guest list is limited, and arrival before 11:30 PM is strongly recommended. Sign up through nocovervegas.com and get a text confirmation with your guest list arrival window.
Are The Chainsmokers performing at EDC Week 2026?
Yes. The Chainsmokers are confirmed at XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday May 16, 2026, headlining the same peak night as Calvin Harris at the adjacent Encore Beach Club. Alex Pall and Drew Taggart have been XS Nightclub residents for multiple consecutive years, and their EDC Week Saturday appearance is a recurring anchor of the Wynn nightclub calendar. XS Nightclub is an indoor-outdoor venue with a pool-view outdoor patio — one of the best late-night Strip environments for a Chainsmokers performance. Guest list at XS follows the same Wynn policy as EBC: women’s guest list broadly available, men’s list limited on Saturday, arrival before midnight recommended. Both venues operate next door to each other at Wynn/Encore, so groups split between the two can meet at the outdoor patio bar between sets.
What is the World Party Parade during EDC Week 2026?
The World Party Parade is a free, open-to-all techno procession on the Las Vegas Strip on Thursday May 14, 2026, announced by Insomniac as the centerpiece of the 30th anniversary EDC Las Vegas celebration. The parade begins at 6:00 PM at Las Vegas Festival Grounds near Circus Circus and features over 30 art cars organized into five entertainment groups, along with performers, marching bands, and more. The parade lasts approximately two and a half hours before returning to the festival grounds for a party featuring sets from confirmed artists. Attendance is projected at nearly 30,000. No ticket is required. This is the first time in Las Vegas history that the Strip has served as a route for a techno music parade.
Is OMNIA Dayclub open during EDC Week 2026?
Yes — OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars Palace makes its grand opening during EDC Week 2026, with a three-night opening weekend lineup running Friday May 15 through Sunday May 17. Fisher headlines the grand opening on Friday, RÜFÜS DU SOL performs on Saturday, and Martin Garrix closes the opening weekend on Sunday. The 46,000-square-foot venue is connected to OMNIA Nightclub via a dedicated bridge, creating a 121,000-square-foot combined complex. OMNIA Dayclub’s Skybar rooftop adds a second outdoor space with Strip-facing views. Martin Garrix also returns to OMNIA Nightclub on Tuesday May 19 alongside Justin Mylo for a nightclub set during the extended EDC Week window. Guest list for all three opening weekend events is available through nocovervegas.com.
Do I need EDC festival tickets to attend EDC Week nightclub events?
No. EDC Week nightclub events, pool parties, and dayclubs on the Las Vegas Strip are entirely separate from the Electric Daisy Carnival festival at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. You do not need an EDC ticket, wristband, or festival pass of any kind to attend Calvin Harris at Encore Beach Club, The Chainsmokers at XS, John Summit at LIV Beach, or any other nightclub or dayclub event during EDC Week. These are independent events at independent Strip venues. Admission to nightclub events is managed through guest list, table service, or general admission cover charge — none of which require an EDC festival pass. Many people attend EDC Week nightlife events without buying festival tickets at all.
