EDC Orlando 2026: Set Times, Stages and Tinker Field Guide

Electric Daisy Carnival Orlando 2026 runs on Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026, and FOX 35 Orlando reported it as the festival's 15th year in the city when the lineup was announced on 25 June 2026 ¹⁷. The festival first came to Orlando in 2011, and Tinker Field at 287 S Tampa Ave has hosted it since that debut ⁷. At the June announcement, passes were quoted between 292.99 USD and 616.99 USD ¹⁷.

Gates at Tinker Field are open 1 PM to 12 AM each day, and a valid, unscanned ticket gets you in until one hour before the event ends, which means 11 PM ^{5 13}. The box office and will call at Lake Lorna Doone Park open a day early, on Thursday 5 November from 12 PM to 8 PM, then run 10 AM to 11 PM on Friday and 12 PM to 11 PM on Saturday and Sunday ⁵.

Each night has its own kineticFIELD finale, so a 1-day pass is really a choice of closing act ^{2 3 4}:

• Friday 6 November 2026: Alesso sunset set from 5:28 PM, Afrojack at 8:00 PM, Mau P at 9:13 PM and David Guetta from 10:31 PM to 11:56 PM ²

• Saturday 7 November 2026: Alan Walker sunset set from 5:38 PM, Steve Aoki at 8:05 PM and Kaskade from 10:31 PM to 12:00 AM ³

• Sunday 8 November 2026: SLANDER sunset set from 5:35 PM, Alok at 8:02 PM, Hardwell at 9:15 PM and Martin Garrix from 10:28 PM to 11:56 PM ⁴

Hotel EDC, the official resort takeover at Margaritaville Resort Orlando on Sunset Walk, runs one night longer, from 6 to 9 November 2026, with daytime pool parties and priority access to the official after-parties each night ¹¹. With return shuttles running until about an hour after Martin Garrix's 11:56 PM finish on Sunday 8 November, a same-night departure from Orlando International Airport (MCO), 14 miles away, is not realistic ^{4 8 7}.

Tip: Brightline's EDC Orlando offer covers travel from 5 to 9 November 2026, so a Monday 9 November train south still qualifies for up to 15% off SMART SELECT fares ¹⁰.

As of 5 November 2026, the official EDC Orlando ticket page lists the 3-day GA pass and every Friday and Saturday single-day tier as sold out ⁶. The passes still shown with a buy link are Sunday GA at 149.22 USD, Sunday GA+ at 200.97 USD, 3-day GA+ at 379.99 USD and 3-day VIP at 659.66 USD, all including fees but before taxes and delivery ⁶. Sunday VIP at 241.37 USD is also marked sold out ⁶.

The full 2026 price grid, for reference ⁶:

• GA (Experience Pass): 3-day 336.99 USD; single day 149.22 USD on Friday, Saturday or Sunday ⁶

• GA+ (Experience Plus): 3-day 379.99 USD; single day 211.32 USD on Friday or Saturday and 200.97 USD on Sunday ⁶

• VIP (Elevated Experience): 3-day 659.66 USD; single day 241.37 USD ⁶

GA+ adds expedited, dedicated entry and premium air-conditioned restroom trailers at Tinker Field ⁶. VIP adds a dedicated dance area at kineticFIELD, VIP dance areas at circuitGROUNDS and neonGARDEN and a concierge team, and VIP areas are 21+ ⁶. Guests under 21 cannot enter with a VIP pass and receive no refund, though an even exchange for GA is offered ¹³. SkyDeck areas are 21+ as well ¹³.

Insomniac limits orders to four tickets per person and tells buyers to purchase only through Front Gate, because illegitimate tickets are refused at the gate without a refund ¹³. A 3-day pass allows one scan per day, and a scanned ticket is non-transferable ¹³. Tickets ship to all 50 US states; buyers elsewhere collect at will call at Lake Lorna Doone Park, at W Church St and Rio Grande Ave ^{13 5}.

Tip: Sunday 8 November is the only single day still on sale, and it is also the night with Martin Garrix, Hardwell and Alok back to back on kineticFIELD from 8:02 PM ^{6 4}.

Tinker Field sits at 287 S Tampa Ave, Orlando, two miles from Downtown Orlando and 14 miles from Orlando International Airport (MCO) ⁷. The ballpark lies directly beside the western side of Camping World Stadium, at 28.53861, -81.404778 ²⁰. Dr Martin Luther King Jr spoke from its pitcher's mound on 6 March 1964, and Tinker Field History Plaza, opened in May 2018, marks that day ²⁰.

From MCO, the published options are ¹⁸:

• Taxi: about 38–45 USD to Downtown Orlando or International Drive ¹⁸

• Local bus: 2 USD in most areas and 4 USD in the Disney Resorts area ¹⁸

• Brightline: up to 15% off SMART SELECT fares via the EDC Orlando booking widget, with a 59 USD minimum fare, for travel from 5 to 9 November 2026 ¹⁰

The official EDC Orlando shuttle runs continuously from 12 PM to 8 PM from every stop, and return shuttles start at 9 PM and stop 60 minutes after the music ends at kineticFIELD ⁸. A 1-day round trip costs 52.88 USD and a 3-day pass 123.59 USD at Tier 1, rising to 57.88 USD and 133.59 USD at Tier 2 ⁸. Hotel EDC guests have their own shuttle from Margaritaville Resort Orlando at 8000 Fins Up Circle, Kissimmee ⁸.

Driving is the weak option in 2026. General parking is described as extremely limited, Premier Parking in Lot 1 at W Church St and Rio Grande Ave is sold out, and any car left after 2 AM is towed at the owner's expense ⁹. The accessibility guide puts general parking at 40 USD ¹⁶.

Downtown garages such as the Library Garage at 112 E Central Blvd connect to a free LYNX shuttle on show days via the LYMMO Grapefruit Line, which drops off on Orange Blossom Trail between Central Blvd and Church St ⁹. Lyft is the official rideshare partner, with drop-off at the Kia Center or the Camping World Stadium main entrance ⁹.

Tip: The shuttle drop-off is about a 15-minute walk from the main entrance, so leave the kineticFIELD closer a few minutes early on any night you are slow on your feet ⁸.

Every stage at Tinker Field opens at 1:00 PM and closes between 11:56 PM and 12:00 AM, so the real choice each night is which room to end in ^{2 3 4}. The five stages each carry their own sound ¹²:

• kineticFIELD: the main stage, “always in motion, forever evolving”, with a new form each year ¹²

• circuitGROUNDS: the home of “epic melodies” ¹²

• neonGARDEN: deep techno and house under a glowing crystal moon ¹²

• stereoBLOOM: hosted by Insomniac Records and Dreamstate, from house and bass music to trance ¹²

• CASA BACARDÍ: “the party within the party”, with specialty cocktails, daily DJ sets and golden-hour surprises ¹²

Friday 6 November ends with David Guetta on kineticFIELD until 11:56 PM, Wooli on circuitGROUNDS until 12:00 AM, Josh Baker on neonGARDEN and Chris Lorenzo on stereoBLOOM from 10:30 PM, and Chantel Jeffries at CASA BACARDÍ from 10:45 PM ².

Saturday 7 November closes with Kaskade on kineticFIELD until 12:00 AM, Alison Wonderland on circuitGROUNDS from 10:45 PM and Franky Rizardo on neonGARDEN from 10:00 PM ³. Skull Machine, the Black Tiger Sex Machine and Kai Wachi project, plays circuitGROUNDS from 9:35 PM to 10:45 PM ³.

Sunday 8 November stacks kineticFIELD with I Hate Models at 6:54 PM, Alok at 8:02 PM, Hardwell at 9:15 PM and Martin Garrix at 10:28 PM ⁴. Meduza plays circuitGROUNDS from 6:40 PM, and Klangkuenstler closes neonGARDEN from 10:30 PM ⁴.

The sunset sets are the slots regulars plan around. On Friday they belong to Alesso, Adventure Club, MALUGI and Obskûr; on Saturday to Alan Walker, Devault and Luke Dean B2B George Smeddles; on Sunday to SLANDER, Of The Trees and Marlon Hoffstadt, with a San Holo “Wholesome Riddim Set” on circuitGROUNDS from 4:35 PM ^{1 4}. Between stages, the grounds mix art installations and full-size carnival rides ⁶.

Tip: VIP holders have a dedicated dance area at kineticFIELD, so a GA group splitting from VIP friends should fix a meeting point outside it before the 10:28 PM to 10:31 PM closers start ^{6 2 4}.

The sunset sets on kineticFIELD start at 5:28 PM on Friday, 5:38 PM on Saturday and 5:35 PM on Sunday, so the sweet spot for reaching the Tinker Field gates is mid-afternoon ^{2 3 4}. Arriving at 1 PM only pays off for a specific early act, because there is no re-entry and the day runs to 12 AM ⁵. Shuttles to the venue stop leaving at 8 PM, and last entry is one hour before the end of the event ^{8 13}.

Orlando in November sits in the mild, dry season. The 1991–2020 normals at Orlando International Airport give November an average high of 78.3°F (25.7°C), an average low of 58.2°F (14.6°C) and 1.79 inches (45 mm) of rain over about 6 rainy days ¹⁹. The festival runs rain or shine, and the official health guide asks attendees to come prepared for all types of weather ^{5 15}.

Rain ponchos and umbrellas under 10 inches when collapsed are allowed, while large umbrellas, tents, chairs and blankets are not ⁵. A personal misting fan is fine if its bottle is no bigger than 1.5 litres and empty on arrival ⁵.

The Tinker Field bag rules, checked at security ⁵:

• Clear bags up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches, or a clutch up to 6 x 9 inches ⁵

• Hydration packs with no more than two main compartments and one small one, empty on entry ⁵

• Totems up to 10 feet, in foam or PVC, with poles no more than 1 inch in diameter ⁵

• Handheld video devices under 6 inches; no glass, cans, coolers or outside food ⁵

Each guest with a disability can collect one free companion wristband at the Accessibility Services Hub off Rainbow Road, with no pre-registration, and mobility device charging runs on a 110-volt circuit ¹⁶.

Tip: Eat a full meal before boarding the shuttle at 3 PM or 4 PM; outside food is not allowed, and the free water stations are marked with a droplet symbol on the festival map ^{5 15}.

The five official EDC Orlando shuttle lines each start at one hotel, and the shuttle page lists nearby hotels within 0.1 to 0.5 miles of every stop ⁸. Each pass is non-refundable and valid on one line only, so the pickup street decides the hotel, not the other way round ⁸.

The stops, as listed for 2026 ⁸:

• Orange line: Fairfield Inn and Suites, 5614 Vineland Rd, near Universal Orlando Resort ⁸

• Green line: Four Points by Sheraton, 5905 International Dr ⁸

• Yellow line: City Express by Marriott, 7495 Canada Ave ⁸

• Blue line: Embassy Suites, 8250 Jamaican Ct, in the ICON Park area of International Drive ⁸

• Silver line: Courtyard Lake Buena Vista at Vista Centre, 8501 Palm Pkwy, sold out as of 5 November 2026 ⁸

International Drive holds two stops, Green and Blue, which makes it the easiest base for a first EDC Orlando ⁸. Downtown Orlando is closer to Tinker Field at two miles but has no shuttle line; the official rideshare pickups at closing are the Kia Center, Washington St and Dollins Ave, Tampa Ave and Gore St, and Gore St and Orange Blossom Trail ^{7 9}.

Hotel EDC packages for 2026 cover a 3-night stay at Margaritaville Resort Orlando on Sunset Walk, Kissimmee, from 6 to 9 November 2026, starting at 1,296 USD per person for cottages and 1,559 USD per person for rooms, based on double occupancy and including taxes and fees ^{11 8}. Packages include daily food and drink credits, daytime pool parties, a glam station, free self-parking and access to Island H2O Water Park ¹¹. A round-trip festival shuttle pass can be added for 89 USD ¹¹.

Tip: The Green line hotels sit 0.1 miles from the stop at 5905 International Dr, while some Orange and Yellow line hotels are 0.5 miles out, an easy walk at 1 PM and a long one at 1 AM ⁸.

The busiest moment for phones at Tinker Field is the kineticFIELD closer, from 10:31 PM on Friday and Saturday and 10:28 PM on Sunday, when the crowd films and the shuttle queue starts at the same time ^{2 3 4}. The official amenities guide lists battery charging stations on the festival map, an Info Booth and water refill points, but no attendee Wi-Fi network ¹⁴. Payments, the map and set times all run over each visitor's own mobile data ^{14 13}.

Habits that keep a phone useful inside Tinker Field over the weekend of 6 to 8 November 2026:

• Open the set times and festival map at the hotel, in the Insomniac app or on the website, before boarding a shuttle that stops leaving at 8 PM ^{13 8}

• Keep the shuttle order number handy, because lost passes are not reissued in 2026 and each one works on a single line ⁸

• Share live location before entering, since there is no re-entry once a wristband is scanned ⁵

• Charge at quiet moments: charging stations are on the map, and lockers include a universal phone charger ¹⁴

• Note the rideshare pickup at the Kia Center or Tampa Ave and Gore St before the closer ⁹

Data use depends mostly on video. Messages, maps and tap-to-pay use little, while posting clips from the kineticFIELD crowd each night uses far more. Visitors arriving at Orlando International Airport (MCO) also need data in the arrivals hall to book a taxi at 38–45 USD or check the Brightline connection ^{18 10}.

Coverage details for a United States data plan are on the global eSIM page.

Tip: Screenshot the Sunday 8 November set times before 1 PM; the map pins and stage times stay readable even when the kineticFIELD crowd slows the network ⁴.
