Electric Daisy Carnival is coming to Colombia for the first time, and Medellín is the city Insomniac picked for it. That's not a small booking , EDC Colombia marks the festival's ninth international edition, following a decade of sold-out crowds in Mexico and Brazil. Two nights, one stadium, thousands of visitors landing in a city that's about to feel very different for a weekend. If you're planning to be here for it, a few details are worth locking down now, before hotel rooms in the right neighborhoods disappear.

The Essentials: Dates, Venue, and Entry Rules

EDC Colombia runs Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11, 2026, at the Complejo Deportivo Atanasio Girardot. Gates are currently set for the 3:00–4:00pm window each day, though organizers note the schedule can still shift. The event is 18+ only, tickets are sold exclusively through Ticketmaster as two-day passes, cameras and recording devices aren't allowed inside, and resale is explicitly prohibited, so buy directly, not from a reseller promising a "guaranteed" wristband.

On Tickets and Pricing

First-phase pricing launched at roughly $169 USD for General Admission, $199 for GA+, and $269 for VIP, fees included. Prices move up in phases as the date gets closer, so if you haven't bought yet, check EDCColombia.com directly rather than relying on older screenshots floating around social media.

Getting to Atanasio Girardot Without Losing Your Night to It

This is where most first-time visitors underestimate the city. The Metro will be running, but expect serious crowding in both directions on festival nights. Uber and similar apps tend to surge hard during entry and exit windows, and finding one at 1am with fifty thousand other people trying to do the same thing is its own kind of chapter. A private driver, arranged in advance for a fixed pickup point and time, removes that variable entirely, no surge pricing, no standing in a crowd waiting for a car that keeps getting reassigned.

Where to Base Yourself

El Poblado, especially around Provenza, puts you closest to the after-hours energy and is the fastest-filling option for festival weekend. Laureles runs quieter and still keeps you a reasonable drive from the venue ,a good call if your group wants somewhere to actually recover between two long nights. Either way, book now: international demand for this exact weekend is already climbing.

Since You're Already Here

Flying to Medellín for two nights rarely makes sense on its own, and most EDC travelers know it. A day trip to Guatapé , the colorful pueblo and the climb up El Peñol rock fits naturally before or after the festival dates, and a coffee farm outside the city is an easy way to see a completely different side of Antioquia in the same trip.

How TourPoint Fits In

We build the version of this trip that doesn't involve guesswork: private airport transfers timed to your flights, executive transport to and from the venue both nights, and an itinerary that pairs the festival with Guatapé, the coffee region, or a private city tour on the days around it.
