When: November 10-12
Where: Orlando, FL
The biggest EDM festival of all moves to Orlando each November for an East Coast version. While I have heard it's a little bit stripped down compared to the Vegas festival, EDCO is still an epic festival from Insomniac. Get tickets here.
We will update this list with festivals in November/December once dates are confirmed! Have an amazing festival season, babes, and shop the latest rave clothes at iHeartRaves here.
