The Sounds of EDC Las Vegas: Opening Sets

In our experience, music has the power to define every single moment in our lives. A dope jam can give meaning to the little things in life while making them feel a million times more special. As Headliners lock down their plans for next year’s EDC Las Vegas—our home away from home—we’ll be bringing you themed playlists that touch on the various phases of the unforgettable journey we look forward to sharing each and every year. Keep up with this series by following The Sounds of EDC Las Vegas tag.

As much as everyone loves a good banger, there’s a time and place for DJs to throw down a tear-out set. The opening slot is not one of them. Warming up the floor is an art form, and any opener worth their salt knows better than to toss out peak-time jams all willy-nilly. After all, EDC is a dusk-till-dawn affair, and god forbid the crowd gets burned out right at the starting line. It’s a huge responsibility, and picking the right lead-in tracks takes a lot more thought and care than you may think.

EDC Las Vegas 2017 takes place Friday, June 16, through Sunday, June 18, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. For more information, visit the official website.
