EDC 2020 canceled due to coronavirus
The Electronic Daisy Carnival, or EDC, is a popular music festival that brings thousands of dance music fans to Orlando each year. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, EDC has been canceled for 2020.
ORLANDO, Fla. - EDC is a popular music festival that brings hundreds of thousands of electronic dance music fans to Orlando.
“You’ll never find a better line up for that kind of music anywhere in the world,” Gibby Gilmore of Orlando said.
The creator of the festival, Pasquale Rotella, broke the news on his Instagram saying:
“While this year has been full of ups and downs, it’s something I’ve found a lot of positivity & excitement in. This extra time to plan is going to allow us to make our 2021 events the best we’ve ever had both creatively & logistically.”
EDC has grown each year it’s been in Orlando. Last year, the festival expanded to three days and organizers added extra stage space at Tinker Field where the event is held. Fans are sad to see it go.

“I hope that festivals and things like that can come back as soon as possible, but again better safe than sorry,” Devin Haughton who is visiting Orlando from Tampa said.
Since coronavirus is still a major concern, they understand.
“Some of the stages, you probably have 50,000 people all standing in the same mass group,” Gilmore said. “All standing next to each other and it’s hard ever really to get more than 6 feet away from people.”
The creator of the event hopes to bring back EDC to Orlando in 2021.
