Several stages at EDC Las Vegas temporarily shut down on Sunday night after strong winds moved through the Las Vegas area. The weather disruption affected the festival’s final night at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

According to reports, Circuit Grounds, BassPod, and Quantum Valley were all paused as a safety precaution. In addition, carnival rides across the festival were temporarily closed. However, the rest of EDC remained open while conditions were monitored.

Strong winds forced temporary stage shutdowns during the final night of EDC Las Vegas

Earlier in the day, the National Weather Service issued a high wind warning for the Las Vegas Valley. Forecasters warned that a strong cold front would move through the region Sunday evening and bring dangerous wind gusts.

Although frustrating for attendees, weather disruptions are not new for EDC Las Vegas. Strong winds have impacted the festival several times over the years. In 2025, organizers closed multiple stages, including Bionic Jungle, because of severe conditions. In 2019, high winds forced the shutdown of Kinetic Field and canceled several performances. Similar weather also disrupted the festival in 2012, when organizers ended parts of the event early.

Wind disruptions have impacted several past editions of EDC Las Vegas

Since moving to Las Vegas in 2011, EDC has grown into one of the world’s biggest electronic music festivals. The event stands out for its massive stage production, carnival rides, art installations, and sunrise sets across the speedway. Unlike many festivals, EDC runs through the night and into the early morning hours.
