I do not know how many times I have already been to EDC, but every year it feels like the first time. And yes, if you're reading this, it means you're either already in love with raves, or you're on the verge of falling into them forever. EDC in Las Vegas is not just about music. This is a city of light, love, freedom and crazy emotions, built right in the middle of the desert. Everything is huge here — the scenes, the people, the costumes, the lamps, and, of course, your feelings.
If you've ever dreamed of being inside a neon hallucination, then here it is. This is a place where art objects breathe, costumes glow, and the sky is bursting with fireworks and drones. At night, Black Rock City falls asleep, and EDC wakes up in all its crazy glory.
What awaits you?
Imagine that: you're walking through a gigantic area (it's really 400+ acres — just find the map!), the air smells of stage smoke and caramel, the bass is pumping in your ears, and you don't know where to be — because 10 scenes are playing simultaneously, each like its own world.
There is no "main" stage. Every moment here can become your personal headliner.
Carnival rides right next to the dance floor.
Alleys with art installations where you can't tell a light show from a dream.
Costumes and performance groups from all over the world.
And the light. The light is everywhere.
Why do I take an LED backpack every time?
Do you know what unites all ravers? We love to express ourselves. Costumes, makeup, luminous glasses, and... backpacks that live their own lives.
My choice?
Smart LED Backpack from LOY SPACE. It's my way of saying, "Here I am, and I'm proud of it."
- Do you want to show a GIF of your favorite DJ? Easy.
- Should I write the phrase "Follow me to neon heaven"? Write directly in the app.
- Even if you show a cat on the screen, anything is possible.
64×64 pixels — and you've become a moving art installation.
In the vast EDC area, where you spend hours walking between scenes, a backpack is not only a style, but also a must-have. It holds everything: water, a poncho (yes, sometimes Las Vegas wants rain), a power bank, headphones, charging, chewing gum, and even a gift for a new friend you met at kineticFIELD.
And believe me, when you glow by yourself, everyone can see you. And when you get lost, your friends see your backpack from afar. Yes, the LED backpack is a landmark, safety and style all rolled into one.
What to take with you? (tips from a rave veteran)
- Dust protection glasses (and light protection).
- Camelbak or a water bottle — hydration is sacred.
- The power bank is at least 10,000mAh — you need to glow all night.
- A poncho or a light cape — it might be cold or rainy.
- A copy of the ticket and the ID — digital or paper.
- Make-up, glitter and... light!
- LOY SPACE app — for controlling an LED backpack or glasses.
- An open heart and a desire to dance are the main things.
EDC is not just a festival. It's a space where you can be anyone, and everything will be right. This is the moment when you stand in the middle of a crowd of 100,000 people, look up at the glowing sky, feel the bass that pierces your chest, and think:
“I'm here. I'm real. I am a part of this light.”
And yes, the Smart LED Backpack has become my way of telling the world who I am. Do you want to stand out? Do you want to say something to the world without words? Highlight it.
We don't just carry the light, we become the light.
