Bringing the mainstage action to mobile screens globally, Insomniac has officially launched its Insomniac Radio app, a free 24/7 streaming platform. The app offers wall-to-wall coverage of all things EDM, including exclusive artist shows and live broadcasts from some of the world’s biggest festivals.

Landing just ahead of EDC Las Vegas 2025, Insomniac Radio aims to deliver an always-on soundtrack to the global dance music community. With no subscription fees and no barriers to entry, the app is poised to replicate the euphoric energy of Insomniac’s festivals with four curated genre channels: “ONE,” “ANALOG,” “IMPACT” and “LUCID.”

Whether it’s the booming anthems of kineticFIELD or the entrancing grooves of Factory 93, the platform is rooted in Insomniac’s sprawling event universe. Channel-to-stage pairings will bring real-time soundtracks to fans around the world: “ONE” features mainstage-ready heat from the likes of cosmicMEADOW and circuitGROUNDS, “ANALOG” dials into house and techno from stereoBLOOM, “IMPACT” blasts bass from wasteLAND and “LUCID” floats through trance and melodic techno straight from quantumVALLEY.

Beyond the music, the app boasts over 120 weekly shows, many led by the world’s biggest DJs including featured hosts Amelie Lens, Martin Garrix, ILLENIUM, Purple Disco Machine, Hardwell, John Summit and Zeds Dead, to name a few. 

As fans plan their descent on Las Vegas for EDC from May 16-18, the app will go into overdrive as Insomniac Radio streams curated programming from a number of stages that will not be represented on the live feed, including stereoBLOOM wasteLAND and quantumVALLEY.

EDC Expanding to Colombia With Medellín Festival in 2026

EDC, one of the world’s most prominent EDM festivals, will launch in Colombia in October 2026, its organizer Insomniac Events announced today.

Transforming Medellín’s Unidad Deportiva Atanasio Girardot sports complex, the festival is primed to continue EDC’s global growth following successful editions across Asia, Europe and the Americas. The city offers what Insomniac founder and CEO Pasquale Rotella described as the perfect backdrop for EDC’s blend of dance music, art and community engagement.

“We’re committed to growing this global community and sharing the magic of EDC with the world,” Rotella said in a statement. “Choosing a new location for EDC is never random. It comes down to a few key factors. First, we look for a local partner who shares our values, understands the spirit of EDC, and has the vision and dedication to help bring it to life.”

The inaugural EDC Colombia represents a partnership between Insomniac and Páramo Presenta, part of Latin American entertainment powerhouse OCESA. The company, with whom Insomniac has long collaborated to produce EDC Mexico, is “an incredible team that fits that perfectly,” Rotella said.

“We are very proud to bring to Colombia such a major brand with so much history, and one that has been fundamental to the growth of electronic dance music worldwide, like EDC,” added Páramo Presenta’s Santiago Vélez. “Medellín will become the center of the electronic world in October 2026, and we hope to reveal more details soon about this festival that is returning to South America.”

The festival will feature “a massive lineup of world-renowned electronic artists” as well as multiple stage designs, large-scale art installations and carnival rides while incorporating local cultural influences, according to a press release shared with EDM.com.

Additional details, including lineup, dates and ticketing information will be announced in the months ahead. Fans can register for updates on the festival via its official website.

World’s Largest Cannabis Dispensary Celebrates Return of EDC Vegas With Massive Ticket Giveaway

Planet 13, the world’s largest cannabis dispensary, is poised for what its executives are calling the busiest weekend of the year: not New Year’s Eve and not 4/20, but EDC.

The cannabis giant is celebrating the festival’s return to Las Vegas by giving away 20 three-day passes to lucky visitors as it launches a slate of EDC-themed offerings in collaboration with RNBW, the Insomniac Events-affiliated cannabis brand.

“EDC has become the busiest weekend of the year at Planet 13 Las Vegas,” said Bryant Ison, Planet 13’s Vice President of Marketing. “It’s our Black Friday, busier than 4/20, Super Bowl and New Year’s Eve. We see a 40% increase in revenues and close to a 30% increase in customer traffic at our flagship Vegas SuperStore during EDC.”

The promotion, part of the dispensary’s “Daisy Daze” weekend, features a full-scale retail activation with live vendor pop-ups, food trucks, limited-edition merch and specially curated cannabis bundles. Hopeful festivalgoers receive raffle entries for every bundle purchased and winners will walk away with passes to EDC, North America’s largest EDM festival.

The connection between Planet 13 and EDC Las Vegas runs deeper than seasonal marketing, however. RNBW is a luxury cannabis label co-developed through a strategic partnership between EDC’s organizer, Insomniac, and industry stakeholders. RNBW’s “Dark Rainbow” strain, available exclusively at Planet 13, is the dispensary’s featured drop this year. 

Pasquale Rotella, Insomniac founder and CEO, has championed RNBW as part of a broader initiative “intersecting live music and cannabis culture,” he said in a 2021 statement.

EDC returns to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend from May 16-18 with Martin Garrix, Alesso, Tiësto, REZZ and many more. You can find the festival’s full lineup and read more about its 2025 edition here.
