Awesome People We Met at EDC Puerto Rico

Tens of thousands of people arrived in San Juan this past weekend for the sun and fun of EDC Puerto Rico. Attendees were treated to ocean views, amazing art, whimsically dressed performers, a pair of firework displays, and the overall experience of soaking in the music and the island vibes at the beach-adjacent venue.

Here are some of the great Headliners we met over the weekend.

Name: Balu
Age: 28
From: San Francisco, CA
Highlight of EDC so Far: Seeing Kaskade last night. It was my sixth time seeing him, and the last time I thought, “Okay, I don’t need to see Kaskade ever again,” so last night I considered just staying over near neonGARDEN for the closing set by the ocean. But then I walked over and checked it out, and was like, “Wow, Kaskade.” It was beautiful. The energy, the fireworks, the music—it all came together so nicely.

Also, everyone has been really hospitable, and I’m really thankful that EDC got this venue. It’s an incredible setting, and some locals have told me that the venue is considered important to a lot of people and to the city, so I’m really thankful that they’ve let us use it. This ocean-side setting and the grass are incredible.
