What is EDC?

Electric Daisy Carnival or EDC is an annual music festival with multiple locations. EDC is a massive rave party that goes on for multiple days. EDC typically takes place in June during the time of year when school is out for break but has been temporarily moved to October in lou of COVID. EDC is an ALL DAY event-from dusk to dawn where EDM artists are performing on different stages throughout the city where EDC is being held.

WHAT SHOULD I PACK FOR EDC?

Packing for an EDC may be daunting. After all, you’re in Las Vegas! This isn’t some festival in the middle of nowhere; you’re at a party! In addition to everything you’ll want to bring with you in order to appear and feel your best at the event, you’ll undoubtedly desire to visit the clubs while on the strip. We’ll go through the essentials of what to bring to Electric Daisy Carnival in this article.

  • Swimsuits and coverups for days at the pool when on the strip are a must have
  • Sunglasses and sunscreen to protect your eyes and skin from the harsh Vegas sunshine
  • Dressy clothes, as well as dress shoes, are required for nights at the clubs in the city.
  • During the day, you can wear anything from comfy sneakers to more formal attire while sightseeing in the city. You’ll be on your feet a lot!
  • Festival outfits or EDC Swag for Days 1, 2, and 3
  • For chilly desert nights, a light jacket or outerwear is recommended.
  • To the Festival, you’ll want comfortable shoes or boots. (Platforms are acceptable as well)
  • Poncho – excellent in the event of rain, and it gives a clean spot to sit down.
  • Your ticket (the EDC now has a mobile app, so you may simply scan with your phone)
  • Kandi will be traded and given away so dont forget yours!
  • A sign to help you and your buddies locate one another without difficulty.
  • If you’re running to get another bottle of water, why not bring along your favorite camel back? A hydration pack makes it simple to stay hydrated while also saving money.
  • Lip balm and gum that haven’t been opened – you’ll make friends fast!
  • Don’t miss out on any Instagram-worthy moments because your phone is dead! A portable phone charger – you won’t miss a chance to snap a photo!
  • Hand sanitizer of course!

WHAT TIPS ARE THERE FOR FIRST TIME EDC ATTENDEES?

Don’t be concerned if you’re a little anxious and looking forward to your first EDC.We’ve all been there, and the event is run on the PLUR ideology – peace, love, unity, and respect. There’s no need to be concerned about fitting in since you will as long as you are yourself. Here are some pointers for first-time EDC goers.

1. Stay hydrated: There’s nothing appealing about becoming dehydrated, and if you don’t prepare in advance, it’s exactly what will happen. Make sure you bring a hydration pack with you. Yes, there are water bottles and hydration packs available at the festival, but why not bring your own?

2. Schedule the sets: There’s a lot going on at EDC, and you’re undoubtedly going to want to see a lot of different artists. Make sure you check out the lineup ahead of time so you can rank which acts are must-sees. You can’t see them all, so having a strategy before hand will come in handy.

3. Use the EDC app: EDC has a mobile application which you can use to check out the lineup, set up your schedule and interact with fellow EDC attendees. Download it before attending EDC!

4. Carpool if you can: Because the event is going to be so crowded, save time and aggravation by driving with Uber or Lyft. If you must drive to the event, take a photo of where you parked (signage, etc) or drop a pin so you can find it later. When you’re exhausted, the last thing you want to do is search for your car in a parking lot.

Bring a portable charger: You’ll undoubtedly need to take a lot of photographs and video at your first EDC, and that will deplete your phone’s battery in no time. Bring a portable charger with you so you can juice up on the road. You don’t want to be the one person who can’t be found at the end of the night because their phone died!

5. Dress for comfort: The EDC is a huge event, so you’ll be walking as well as dancing all night long. Make sure your shoes are comfortable – we can’t say that enough! If at all possible, spend the day in them ahead of time to ensure that your favorite pair is everything you want on your feet all day long during the festival. It will be a lot more pleasurable to dance the night away if you are comfortable!

6. Find some time to chill: The EDC is designed to be as simple for novice ravers as possible, but it may be intimidating at first. There are several quiet areas at the festival that are meant to assist you relax, so don’t be afraid to take advantage of them if you need a moment’s rest. The rides are ideal for taking a little break from the craziness of the event while still feeling like an active participant.

Arrive early and get your bearings: If you’re concerned about getting lost at the festival or feeling overwhelmed, arrive early for the first day. You’ll have more room to explore the grounds and get your bearings, and you’ll be surrounded by far fewer people in all of your pictures.

Whether you’re attending your first or fifteenth Electronic Dance Music Festival in 2021, you’ll undoubtedly have a great time among all of that positive energy. Whatever you choose to wear or which performances you want to see, just be yourself and have a good time! And of course, don’t forget to drink plenty of water and get some sleep – you’ll need it!

What Louis Tomlinson Thinks About A Possible One Direction Reunion

Published

on

After breaking out in the media with hits such as “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Story Of My Life,” “Best Song Ever,” and more, 1D took the world by storm (via Digital Spy). However, in 2015, the boy band shocked their devoted followers when they announced that they will be taking a break. According to E! News, the group shocked their fans by announcing that they would go on hiatus in 2015. After Zayn Malik announced his intentions to leave 1D, the band decided to disband in order to focus on their own solo projects.

“They are great friends and fully support one another,” a source said of the group. “They are very aware that they are able to work on their own stuff as well as remain together. This is an exciting time for them creatively and as a group.” However, it appears that at least one member of One Direction was in opposition to the split.

Before the break, Tomlinson told The Guardian that he was feeling optimistic about the band. “In the last year of One Direction, I was probably the most confident I ever was,” he said. “And then it was: ‘OK, hiatus!'” He acknowledged that he struggled against it, but ultimately lost.

Since then, One Direction has yet to record any new music. The group’s future, on the other hand, appears promising.

Did Louis Tomlinson hint at a possible 1D reunion?

According to Cheat Sheet, since announcing the group’s hiatus in 2015, One Direction members have been working on their solo careers and other activities like beginning families. Louis Tomlinson recently spoke out about a possible reunion and left fans wondering if there could be hope for the group in the future, despite Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik all remaining quiet on the subject of a reunion.

In 2021, Tomlinson took part in the WIRED Google autocomplete challenge, answering queries about himself that fans most search for on the internet. He went through his tattoos, color of his hair, eye color, and more before finally getting to One Direction. When asked about the group he replied, “Good time in my life. Hopefully, we come back.” The return of an iconic logo inspired fans to believe that perhaps, just maybe, the band was reuniting. Fans also noticed that when Tomlinson referred to 1D as the band he “is” in before correcting himself to say “was,” he made a minor slip of the tongue.

Could Harry’s comments be hinting at a One Direction reunion? Despite the fact that it appears improbable for now, fans have not stopped hoping for the group to reunite and create new music in the future.

This Is How Elton John Got His Name

Published

on

Elton John is one of the most famous names in modern music, with his distinctive appearance and voice, as well as instantly-recognizable songs. It’s difficult to find many individuals who haven’t heard Elton John, better known as “The Rocketman,” thanks to his signature song of the same name. In fact, the Elton John biopic film released in 2019 was called “Rocketman” because the word is so easily identifiable with John (via IMDb).

However, prior to his career as “The Rocketman” and even before he earned the moniker “Elton John,” he was known by a different name. He actually went by his birth name, Reginald Kenneth Dwight, and dropped out of school at the age of 17 to pursue a music career (via Biography). He eventually changed his name because he was becoming more successful, however even the film documenting his life didn’t get his change of name right.

Elton John chose a new name on the fly

The film “Rocketman” tells audiences that Reginald Kenneth Dwight changed his name to Elton John after meeting John Lennon, the famous Beatle. Lennon, on the other hand, had nothing to do with how Elton John got his name. Another singer known as John also existed.

According to a 1991 interview with Rowan Atkinson, Reginald Dwight was a member of the group “Bluesology” and decided to go it alone, hence the name change. He said he chose the name Elton after a saxophone player in the group because he wanted to branch out on his own. In a 1990 interview conducted after the release of his CD box set entitled “To Be Continued…”

“I was in Bluesology, and we were coming back from a Long John Baldry gig somewhere, and we got a bus from London airport to London and someone said, ‘We’ve made it now, so what are you going to call yourself?'” John said (via The Wrap). “The saxophone player in the band was called Elton Dean, a very good jazz sax player, and the only other Elton I could think of was Elton Hayes, who recorded the song ‘The Owl and the Pussycat.’ So I took ‘Elton’ from Elton Dean and ‘John’ from Long John Baldry. I wanted to choose a name that nobody had, and it was as quick as that.”

When Britney Spears updated her Instagram Story, she may have started a rumour about herself. The singer and her partner Sam Asghari are relaxing on Maui, Hawaii at present. While posing for photos with her adoring public, Spears revealed that lately she hasn’t felt too well (via Fox News).

“I think I have a small bug … the only thing that is similar to this feeling is when I was pregnant…” the star wrote as a caption to the clip. She continued, “it’s the nausea that is the worst … It’s like I can’t wake up so I go to the gym trying to wake my system up !!!”

Spears continued her post by writing, “It’s like clockwork … I break my first sweat then I go to the bathroom and throw up… it’s absolutely horrible but then I stay at the gym because I don’t want to go home and lay sick in bed …. I keep going and [at] night I go dancing and my system starts to get clarity … Dude … this has been going on for a month and if someone has this you’re not alone !!!”

Following her return to Instagram, fans immediately started speculating about whether she is expecting again, with one user writing, “She’s pregnant again.” “Awwww baby on the way.” “Morning sickness my dear,” echoed another fan.

More Spears fans were reacting to her tweet about pregnancy on Twitter.

She has confirmed that she wants to conceive again

The celebrity’s message about being sick for a month caused Twitter to go wild. “Britney girl…your nausea has lasted for a month and the only other time you felt like this was when you were pregnant???? who’s gonna tell her?” asked one fan. “I think it’s time to get a pregnancy test PLS,” someone else tweeted.

The rumor mill was still in operation, with another individual adding, “Girls Britney is pregnant. Throwing up every morning for a month…. And she even said herself she’s never felt like this except when pregnant….”

Although she enjoyed her first title, Spears is still determined to have another kid. As the whole world heard during her conservatorship hearing as she tried to terminate it, Spears, who is a mother of two adolescent sons, wants to conceive another child. “I want to be able to get married and have a baby. I was told right now in the conservatorship, I’m not able to get married or have a baby. I have an IUD inside of myself right now so I don’t get pregnant,” the pop star testified. “I wanted to take the IUD out so I could start trying to have another baby. But this so-called team won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out because they don’t want me to have any more children,” she said (via Billboard).
