A few months back there seemed to be this "rumor" about an all trance music stage for ALL three nights of EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) Las Vegas rumbling through the community of fans. Then Pasquale Rotella, the mastermind behind all things Insomniac Events, hinted on his social media channels about a new stage with trance in mind through a few photos and videos followed by an official announcement through the Dreamstate brand.
Fast forward as we are about six weeks away from EDC Week with the line-up of EDC officially announced. Many dance music fans usually wait till the line-up is announced to make their final decision of whether or not they will be attending. The Quantum Valley Stage has been announced with a plethora of trance artists to fill each night of EDC. For those who have yet to attend EDC in Las Vegas, there are about five stages spanning all genres of dance music.
The line-up at the Quantum Valley Stage is as follows...Ace Ventura, Aly & Fila, Astrix, ATB, Ben Nicky, Blazer, Bryan Kearney, Cosmic Gate, Ferry Corsten, Freedom Fighters, Gareth Emery, Infected Mushroom, John Askew, John O' Callaghan, Liquid Soul, Markus Schulz Presents Dakota, Marlo, Niko Zografos, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, PureNRG (Giuseppe Ottaviani & Solarstone), Ruben De Ronde, Purple Haze, Sean Tyas, Simon Patterson, Waio, and Will Atkinson. As you can see, the sub-genres of trance are well represented with respect for a few pioneers of the scene. It is also nice to see some appearances of Aliases as well as collaborations. From the idea of the trance all three nights to a stacked line-up for all tastes, perhaps those who are not trance fans now will change their minds.
