Awesome People We Met at EDC Las Vegas 2018 Day 3

The last day of a festival is always a roller coaster of emotion. You’re sad because it’s almost over, but there’s an unshakeable feeling of accomplishment from having experienced something with one of the greatest communities ever. We were feeling some type of way on the third day of EDC Las Vegas, but this bittersweet moment was made better by all the high-spirited Headliners we ran into. As the sendoff to this year’s EDC, we posted up on Daisy Lane and hung out with some of the people who showed up in style. That’s your cue to meet a few of them below.

Sleep. I definitely get rest and do lots and lots of stretching.
