Still waiting on your favorite? At our latest check, the Electric Forest official site and Lost Lands official site were displaying their 2026 editions rather than confirmed 2027 dates. Check those sites for the next announcement. We have left them out of the dated calendar for now.
How to choose your next EDM festival
Start with the whole weekend
Your pass is only part of the plan. Add travel, lodging or camping, local transport, food, and time off to your budget. A nearby festival with your favorite people can be just as good a choice as a cross-country trip.
Check the dates together
Beyond Wonderland SoCal and Ultra Miami overlap in March 2027. EDC Las Vegas offers two separate weekends. Put the exact dates in the group chat before anyone books nonrefundable travel.
Use the organizer's guide
Read the event's bag policy, entry requirements, permitted-item list, and transport information. An item that worked at your last festival may not be allowed at the next one.
What to pack for a music festival
Build your outfit around the forecast, the venue, and how long you will be on your feet. A few useful starting points:
- A fit you can move in. Browse our festival jerseys if you want a statement piece to build around.
- An extra layer. Our festival pashminas are an easy way to change up your look. Add a warmer layer when the forecast calls for it.
- A practical bag. Check the venue's size and material rules before choosing a festival fanny pack.
- The basics. Bring your accepted ID, ticket, comfortable shoes, hearing protection, and a charged phone. Check the event's rules for water containers, sunscreen, and portable chargers.
