In a world inching toward dystopia, EDC returned to Las Vegas over the weekend and once again offered a welcome escape under the electric sky.
Those who have attended North America’s largest EDM event in the past know it’s much more than just a festival. It’s more of a temporary civilization with its own language, laws and gravitational pull. And in 2025, this rave utopia on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway was as inviting and colorful as ever.
From trance to techno to trap and every genre in-between, the weekend reminded us that dance is still the universal language, even when you’ve been awake for 72 hours straight and think the totem next to you is giving good life advice. But as we all know, EDC’s neon-drenched playground of bass drops and questionable fashion choices is all worth it.
Continue on to watch EDC Las Vegas 2025 live sets by Alesso, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, ISOKNOCK and more. This article will be updated as more performances are uploaded.
Atlantic Records has lifted the hood on F1: The Album, the forthcoming soundtrack to Apple Original Films’ Formula 1 movie, and it’s a turbo-charged celebration of EDM’s tightening grip on the motorsport world.
The genre has long flirted with Formula 1’s flair for spectacle, but the relationship goes full-throttle with this soundtrack. Dom Dolla leads the charge with “No Room for A Saint,” marking another milestone in his own F1 crossover journey following his headlining performance at LIV on the Grid during the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Other dance music producers on the soundtrack include Peggy Gou with her kinetic reimagining of “D.A.N.C.E”; Dutch icon Tiësto, who teamed up with Sexyy Red for the boisterous “OMG!”; and UK underground staple PAWSA, who was recently named by EDM.com as one of 2024’s best electronic music producers.
While artists like Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae and Burna Boy round out the score’s cross-genre appeal, it’s the electronic contingent that underscores a cultural shift that’s been brewing for years. EDM and Formula 1 have been embracing a crossover crescendo in which headliners like Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix and Above & Beyond have become mainstays at Grand Prix weekends from Monaco to Miami.
The film is directed by Top Gun: Maverick‘s Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer alongside seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton. Starring Brad Pitt, the film blends dramatic fiction with real F1 race footage and cameo appearances from motorsport titans like Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc.
Both F1: The Album and the feature film itself drop globally on June 27th. Check out the full tracklist and trailer below.
