massive 3-day livestream event at TV.Insomniac.com
Livestream will benefit Rave Recovery, a relief fund created
for dance music fans impacted by the COVID-19 health crisis.
Today, the world’s largest dance music festival, EDC
Las Vegas, has announced details for an unprecedented livestream event, set to
take place during the festival’s original dates of May 15-17, 2020. Bringing
the beloved festival to Headliners around the world, the stream will feature
multiple stages broadcasting across two unique channels, showcasing exclusive
live performances from many artists originally scheduled to perform at EDC Las
Vegas 2020. Insomniac Founder Pasquale Rotella will host the event, providing
one-on-one interviews with the DJs and engaging with dance music fans online as
they stay home and stay safe.
Since the inception of Insomniac’s Virtual
Rave-A-Thon series, more than 18 million viewers across 100+ countries have
tuned in to the uniquely themed livestreams, with each weekend representing a
different festival brand from Insomniac’s vast portfolio of events. Past
Rave-A-Thon performances are archived on the Insomniac Events YouTube.
The
EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon also marks the debut of a special initiative
to help fans stay positively focused on a future where we can all reunite on
the dancefloor. To show gratitude to the dance music community, Insomniac has
partnered with charitable organization In
Place of War
to promote Rave Recovery, a relief fund created specifically for dance
music fans impacted by the COVID-19 health crisis.
“Looking
out for one another and giving back have been cornerstones of rave culture
since people first set foot on the dancefloor,” says Rotella. “With so many people
experiencing hardships brought on by COVID-19, those principles are more
important than ever. Even though we’re isolated, no one should feel alone. Rave
Recovery was created to support fans within our dance music community who need assistance—and
hopefully inspire others to reach out, connect, and give back.”
A portion of the proceeds will also support In Place of War’s COVID-19 Emergency Fund, supporting some of the world’s most vulnerable communities in the global south during the pandemic. Like Insomniac, In Place of War believes that music and the arts can bring peace and understanding to the world’s most harshly impacted communities. Donations can be made now via insomniac.com/rave-recovery, and donation links will be live on Insomniac’s YouTube and Twitch channels during the EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon livestream, scheduled to take place from 5pm – 2am PST each of the three days.
