Here’s What 6 Headliners Look Like When They’re Not at Festivals

We all journey down different paths in our daily lives. Some of us install floors for a living; others are cake decorators, stage managers, or horseback riding instructors, to name a few. When we venture to a festival, however, we remove our costumes and transform into truer versions of ourselves, meeting in a world that allows us to leave all our worries (and boring-ass clothes) behind.

This week, Insomniac celebrates EDC Orlando 2017 with a special edition of #TransformationTuesday. Read our full #TransformationTuesday series to meet even more awesome Headliners. And remember: Ravers are everywhere.

EDC Orlando 2017 tickets are on sale now.

I look forward to EDC Orlando every year! I can’t miss it, so I make sure I request the days off a year in advance. I love the atmosphere and the good vibes. I am most excited for neonGARDEN on Saturday. I love house music!

What are you most excited about for EDC Orlando 2017?
This year, there seems to be a lot of bass house and electro-house on the lineup, and I love it because I’m a huge shuffler! I’m really looking forward to shuffling with my friends and can’t wait to see some of my favorite DJs, including JOYRYDE!

This will be my third EDC Orlando! I love how solid the lineup is, and I’m really excited that some of my favorite DJs will be performing on both days of the event. I can’t wait to get dressed up and dance Under the Electric Sky with all the beautiful souls who are attending this year!

What are you most excited about for EDC Orlando 2017?
I can’t wait to experience the EDC community! As many shows as I’ve been to, I’ve never been to EDC. I can’t wait to meet the other Headliners and vibe out with my fellow ravers. I’m actually moving to start my life in the Orlando area, so this will be my first taste of the dance music scene there. You can find me in the neonGARDEN!

What are you most excited about for EDC Orlando 2017?
I’m excited for the artists I’ve already seen, including Getter and NGHTMRE, because I know they kill it onstage. I’m also psyched for Slander and Rezz because I’ve never seen their live sets. Most importantly, I’m ecstatic that I’ll be able to rage with an awesome group of friends and have an unforgettable weekend.

EDC Orlando 2017 takes place Friday, November 10, and Saturday, November 11, at Tinker Field in Orlando, FL. Tickets are on sale now. For more information, visit the official website.
