Electric Daisy Carnival was originally just a single annual electronic dance music festival held in the South West United States on the last weekend of June. The event was held in Southern California from 1997 to 2010, and was moved to Las Vegas in 2011. In 2012,for the first time ever, Electric Daisy Carnival will be held in New York on May 18th 19th and 20th.
Electric Daisy Carnival’s inaugural New York City offshoot will run May 19-20th at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Avicii, Armin van Buuren, Fatboy Slim, Bassnectar, Calvin Harris, Afrojack and Chase and Status top the bill. Other heavyweights include Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, John Digweed, Sebastian Ingrosso, ATB, Alesso Boris, and DJ sets by Pendulum and Nero. Also on the lineup are Steve Angello, Gareth Emery, Markus Schulz, Erick Morillo, Thomas Gold, Subfocus, Dirty South, Danny Tenaglia, Chuckie, Loco Dice, Fedde le Grand, Madeon, Borgore, R3hab, Seth Troxler, Art Department, and Jaguar Skills.
MetLife Stadium is a stadium in the New York Metropolitan Area, part of the Meadowlands Sports Complex, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It is the home of the New York Giants and New York Jets of the National Football League and is adjacent to the site of the former Giants Stadium, which was home to the Giants from 1976 until December 2009 and the Jets from 1984 until January 2010. Like its predecessor, the new stadium is the only NFL stadium shared by two teams. However, unlike Giants Stadium, in which the Jets were tenants of the NJSEA, the new stadium is a 50/50 partnership between both teams. The first concert at the New Meadowlands was New Jersey natives Bon Jovi, who performed four shows at the venue on their The Circle Tour. The second concert at the stadium was Hot 97's Summer Jam. Eagles performed here on June 10 as part of their summer tour. U2 performed at the stadium on July 20, 2011 on their U2 360° Tour. The show was originally to be held on July 19, 2010, but had to be postponed following Bono's emergency back surgery. The show was the third to visit the Meadowlands on the U2 360° Tour, the first two being at Giants Stadium on September 23 and 24, 2009.
