What You Need To Know

  • The Electric Daisy Carnival makes its return to Orlando today

  • The event is scheduled from 1 p.m. to midnight each day through Sunday

  • Organizers urge people to stay home if they feel ill and to take a COVID test

The last Orlando event was in 2019. It was canceled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to EDC's website, tickets are 95% sold out as of Friday morning.

As always, Insomniac Events will have medical staff looking out for people who may be faint, sick or in distress.

A crowd management expert recommends being aware of your surroundings for any concert.

He spoke to CNN after nine people lost their lives at the AstroWorld festival in Houston last week.

"People in a crowd have to have enough room that they can easily leave the festival crowd under reasonable conditions," Paul Wertheimer with Crowd Management Strategies said.

This year marks the 25th of EDC.

Sky 13 video from this week showed the setup was well underway at Tinker Field near Camping World Stadium for this weekend's big events.

EDC organizers with Insomniac Events also encourage you to get tested for COVID-19 before coming to the show and to stay away if you're feeling sick.
