Everything That Went Down At EDC Las Vegas 2018
There were more than a few surprise guests as Electric Daisy Carnival took over Las Vegas this past weekend…
Electric Daisy Carnival hit Las Vegas Motor Speedway over the weekend for three nights of epic dance music, impressive art installations and plenty of fun Under The Electric Sky. With acts including Diplo, Martin Garrix, Tiësto and Kygo all on the bill, EDC couldn't have been anything other than a massive party, but what exactly do you need to know about 2018's wildest rave so far?
Here's everything that went down at EDC Las Vegas 2018…
1. Diplo brought out Lil Pump…
Friday night saw Diplo say a big Welcome To The Party when he brought out current collaborator Lil Pump. Their track, created for the Deadpool 2 soundtrack, went down a storm with the kineticFIELD revellers.
2. …then later debuted his disco collaboration, Silk City, with Mark Ronson
The dreamy duo popped up on the Wide Awake Art Car at 3.30am on Saturday morning, with Diplo trading his massive mainstage crowd for this more intimate, surprise setting.
3. Wiz Khalifa joined Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike on stage
When I Grow Up never sounded so good.
4. Tiësto paid tribute to Avicii…

While we and the rest of the music world are still very much mourning Avicii, Tiësto used his Saturday night set to honour his absent friend, playing a 12-minute megamix of his hits including Levels and Waiting For Love. Aloe Blacc even appeared to provide live vocals on Wake Me Up.
5. …and dropped new track Jackie Chan
Featuring Post Malone, Jackie Chan is a dreamy summer anthem in the making, so expect to hear it at plenty more festivals this year.
6. Kygo debuted a new song
Kygo played Feels Like Forever for the first time and the crowd went wild for its country-style vocals.
7. Dua Lipa surprised everyone during Martin Garrix's set…
While she wasn't slated to perform at EDC, Dua Lipa did pop up during her buddy Martin Garrix's set, and seemed to be loving their track Scared To Be Lonely. Great wig, too.
8. …and, in return, her mum surprised her
Dua Lipa's parents flew into Vegas to surprise her at the Billboard Music Awards and continued the fun at EDC. Legends or what?!
9. DJ Mustard had the most special guests of all
It probably helped that the BBMAs were also happening in Vegas on Sunday night, so EVERYONE was in town, but DJ Mustard brought out no less than four special guests. Lil Jon, Ty Dolla $ign, YG and Nick Jonas all appeared during his Circuit Grounds closing set, with Nick Jonas performing new track Anywhere for the first time.
Until next time, EDC!
Hands on each other
Couldn't stand to be far apart
Closer the better
Now we're picking fights and slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why, wonder what for
Why we keep coming back for more
Is it just our bodies
Are we both losing our minds
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Do we need somebody
Just to feel like we're alright
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Too much time, losing track of us
Where was the real
Undefined, spiraling out of touch
Forgot how it feels
All the messed-up fights and slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why, wonder what for
It's like we keep coming back for more
Is it just our bodies
Are we both losing our minds
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Do we need somebody
Just to feel like we're alright
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Scared to be lonely
Even when we know it's wrong
Been somebody better for us all along
Tell me, how can we keep holding on, holding on tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Even when we know it's wrong
Been somebody better for us all along
Tell me, how can we keep holding on, holding on tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Is it just our bodies
Are we both losing our minds
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Scared to be lonely
Scared to be lonely
Eh, eh, scared to be lonely
