These rising artists at EDC Las Vegas 2026 are poised to deliver some of the weekend’s biggest breakout moments.
With over 200 artists set to perform across the Las Vegas Motor Speedway during EDC Las Vegas 2026’s sold-out “Dirty 30” celebration, building the perfect schedule under the electric sky is no easy task. Taking place May 15-17 and expecting more than 500,000 attendees throughout the weekend, this year’s edition is shaping up to be one of the festival’s biggest yet, complete with the new kineticJOURNEY theme, the debut World Party Parade on the Las Vegas Strip, and nonstop music across its iconic stages.
While major headliners such as Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Zedd, Martin Garrix, Above & Beyond, Kaskade, John Summit, Tiësto, Charlotte de Witte, and many more will dominate much of the attention throughout the weekend, EDC Las Vegas has always been a place where rising artists break through in front of massive audiences. From emotional melodic performances and groove-heavy house sets to sunrise closers and explosive bass music moments, these are nine rising artist sets you won’t want to miss during EDC Las Vegas 2026.
Jackie Hollander
Jackie Hollander has quietly become one of house music’s fastest-rising names thanks to her energetic productions and infectious groove-driven style. Tracks like ‘Addicted’ and ‘High On You’ have helped establish her identity within the scene, blending playful energy with club-ready percussion that translates perfectly to festival stages.
Her Friday appearance at cosmicMEADOW feels like the type of set that could instantly elevate her to another level. The stage’s massive open-air atmosphere tends to amplify high-energy house performances, and Hollander’s crowd-focused approach makes her a natural fit. Expect nonstop movement from start to finish as attendees ease into the first full night of EDC Las Vegas 2026.
Sarah de Warren
While many dance music fans recognize Sarah de Warren primarily for her vocals, her growing presence as a solo artist continues turning heads across the techno space. Known for vocal-heavy collaborations such as ‘Act Of God’ with Layton Giordani and Linney and ‘Headrush’ alongside Ship Wrek, Sarah de Warren has developed a reputation for bringing some of the most recognizable vocals into dance music.
Her performance at quantumVALLEY could become one of Friday’s most immersive experiences. The stage’s focus on trance and techno sounds pairs perfectly with her cinematic vocal style and atmospheric energy. As EDC crowds look for moments that feel both emotional and euphoric, Sarah de Warren may deliver one of the weekend’s most memorable sing-along moments.
Roddy Lima
Roddy Lima continues building momentum with a sound rooted in groove-heavy house rhythms and energetic festival-ready selections. Releases like ‘Night Time’ and ‘SIDE2SIDE’ showcase his ability to create tracks that feel equally suited for late-night clubs and large-scale festival crowds.
With cosmicMEADOW often serving as one of EDC’s key stages for breakout artists, Rody Lima’s Friday slot feels like a major opportunity. His ability to maintain momentum while keeping things fun and accessible should resonate well with early weekend crowds looking to fully settle into the EDC atmosphere.
Levity
Levity’s rise within bass music has been impossible to ignore over the last year. The trio has quickly developed a dedicated fanbase through explosive live performances and viral festival moments, helping tracks like ‘Flip It’ and ‘ONE FOR YOU’ gain serious traction within the electronic community.
circuitGROUNDS feels like the ideal environment for their EDC Las Vegas appearance. Massive visuals, booming production, and a crowd hungry for high-energy bass music should make this one of Friday’s most chaotic sets in the best possible way. Expect heavy drops, nonstop crowd reactions, and an atmosphere that feels impossible to stand still in.
DREYA V
stereoBLOOM has long been one of EDC’s strongest stages for discovering future breakout artists, and DREYA V feels perfectly positioned for that moment this year. Her sound blends energetic house grooves with confident, dancefloor-driven energy that has steadily helped her gain attention across the underground scene. Tracks like ‘Up Front’ and ‘Money’ highlight her ability to keep momentum high while maintaining a polished sound.
Saturday’s performance could easily become one of those sets attendees stumble into and leave talking about afterward. With stereoBLOOM’s more intimate atmosphere compared to EDC’s larger stages, DREYA V will have the perfect opportunity to create a strong connection with the crowd.
BUNT. (In The Round)
BUNT. continues carving out a unique lane within dance music by blending folk-inspired melodies with uplifting electronic production. Songs like ‘Clouds’ and ‘TRIPPIN’ have helped him build a loyal following that stretches well beyond traditional dance audiences.
What makes this performance especially intriguing is the “In The Round” concept itself. Rather than feeling like a standard festival set, BUNT.’s performances tend to create a more immersive and emotionally connected atmosphere between artist and audience. Bringing that format to cosmicMEADOW could easily make this one of Saturday’s most unique experiences, especially for attendees looking for something different from the weekend’s heavier moments.
BOLO
Sunrise sets at EDC Las Vegas carry a completely different energy, and BOLO closing out Saturday night into Sunday morning at stereoBLOOM feels like a perfect match for that moment. Known for deep grooves, hypnotic late-night energy, and Latin-inspired tunes, BOLO’s productions such as ‘Move Like That’ and ‘Vamonos de Fiesta’ thrive in those final hours when the crowd is exhausted but unwilling to leave.
There is always something emotional about watching the sun come up at EDC while music continues blasting across the speedway, and BOLO’s sound feels built for exactly that type of atmosphere. For many attendees, this could become one of the weekend’s defining memories.
Linksa
Linksa has steadily emerged as one of the more exciting names pushing darker and faster sounds into larger festival spaces. After drawing attention during Miami Music Week and Coachella 2026 W2 earlier this year, her momentum heading into EDC Las Vegas feels undeniable. Tracks like ‘World & Back’ and ‘Bad Boy’ showcase her aggressive energy and ability to command a dancefloor.
Her Sunday set at circuitGROUNDS should provide one final burst of intensity before the weekend closes out. Expect relentless pacing, dark grooves, and the kind of raw energy that thrives within the stage’s massive production environment.
Funk Tribu
Few artists have experienced a rise quite like Funk Tribu over the past year. The producer’s blend of hard groove, trance influences, and driving techno energy has quickly earned him a devoted following across the global dance scene. Tracks such as ‘I Got It For You’ and ‘Azul’ have become staples in countless festival and club sets.
Now, Funk Tribu arrives at kineticFIELD for what could become one of the weekend’s biggest breakout performances. His ability to balance euphoric melodies with nonstop momentum feels tailor-made for EDC Las Vegas’ largest stage. As the festival closes out its milestone anniversary weekend, don’t be surprised if this becomes one of the sets people talk about long after the final fireworks fade.
