Electric Daisy Carnival has posted the full line-up for their first Las Vegas event, a mere two weeks before the well-publicized event taking place June 24-26. Over 100 acts were added to previously announced headliners TiĆ«sto, David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia, including Laidback Luke, Bassnectar and A-Trak. Wolfgang Gartner is slated for two performances on two different days, and Richie Hawtin will also be appearing twice, one night as a DJ, and the other doing his Plastikman-Live multimedia peformance.

Somewhere along the way, Vegas has become the gravitational center for US clubbing. More than just the city who snatched Electric Daisy Carnival when Los Angeles couldn’t get their shit together,Vegas’ all-night megaclubs feature an endless stream of top name talent from around the globe, including residencies from megastars Tiesto, Z-Trip and Paul Oakenfold. But if there was one DJ custom made for Vegas, it’s got to be Raoul Duke lookalike Fatboy Slim, who is kicking off his own residency Memorial Day Weekend at Marquee Dayclub. And to get everyone in the mood, he’s assembled this custom mix of fear and loathing just for the occasion.
As my cab pulled up to the Maloof family’s Palms Hotel, I couldn’t miss the massive “Z-Trip’s Revolution: A Party for the People” sign towering above the parking lot. Just another piece of evidence confirming DJ culture was permanently etched in the entertainment landscape. Two back -to-back nights at one of Vegas’ biggest properties (Paul Oakenfold owns Saturday’s for his Perfecto night) puts guys with records on par with the city’s comics and American Idol winners.
