EDM has arrived.
Yes, the dance genre (short for "electronic dance music") has now grown so big that one of its marquee events, the Electric Daisy Carnival, will take over Citi Field Friday and Saturday. And if you're looking to experience the Electric Daisy Carnival phenomenon, you better get in on the New York version because the main event in Las Vegas on June 21-23 has already sold out -- all 345,000 tickets are gone.
Electric Daisy Carnival organizers will set up five different stages in Citi Field -- from the massive Kinetic Field stage to the Wide Awake Art Car stage, where up-and-comers and contest winners will perform -- and the music will go for 11 hours both days, from noon until 11 p.m. (Of course, if that's not enough there will be after parties at Pacha both nights.)
Here's a look at who will perform this weekend, joining the ranks of past Citi Field headliners Paul McCartney and Dave Matthews Band:
