Rock the Boat: EDC Reveals New Floating Music Festival, EDSea
EDC is making waves—literally. Insomniac Events’ beloved festival brand is taking to the seas after its founder and CEO, Pasquale Rotella, revealed a brand new nautical event, EDSea.

But Insomniac already owns and operates its own EDM cruise excursion, Holy Ship! Wrecked, so the renowned promoter isn’t exactly entering uncharted waters. EDSea’s maiden voyage on the Norwegian Joy kicks off on November 4th, 2023. The ship will depart from Miami and sail to Nassau for an “exclusive island party” before heading to the private island of Gre...

We’re running out of superlatives for EDC. What more can be said of Insomniac’s flagship festival brand at this point?

Harm Reduction Resources Are Coming to All Insomniac Music Festivals
The nation’s preeminent electronic music festival organizer, Insomniac Events, has announced a partnership with End Overdose, an organization spreading awareness of the opioid crisis.

House Music All Day: Day Trip’s 2nd Annual Festival Was a Lush, Glittering Oasis
House music is actually good for you. Researchers maintain that the ideal human tempo is 120 BPM, which just so happens to be the sweet spot for house music. Born in the clubs of Chicago in the 1980s, it’s no surprise that the genre is now breaking into the mainstream. After Drake and Beyonce each dropped their own house-inspired records earlier this month, it’s looking like house music is the soundtrack of the summer. One such brand elevating house music is Insomniac‘s Day Trip. Created in 2018 with the simple mantra of “House Music All Day Long,” Day Trip is now known for its epic parties featuring fishbowls, palm trees and house music from all walks of life.
