EDC Mexico is the Mexico City edition of Electric Daisy Carnival, the dance music festival run by Insomniac, held over three days in February at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, the Grand Prix circuit in the east of the city. It runs late into the night across several stages, with fairground rides, costumed performers and fireworks. Passes cover all three days, sell through Ticketmaster in Mexico and rise in price as each tier sells out. Metro Line 9 has three stations by the circuit, and February nights at this altitude are cold.
What EDC Mexico actually is
Electric Daisy Carnival began in Los Angeles and is best known for its Las Vegas edition; the Mexico City festival is one of several the organiser runs abroad. The stages carry the same names, kineticFIELD for the headliners, with circuitGROUNDS and neonGARDEN among the others, and the line-up runs from big-room DJs to techno and bass.
It is staged inside the motor-racing circuit, so the site is large, flat and open, and the walks between stages are long. The rides, the art pieces and the performers on stilts are part of the show rather than extras around it.
For the city it is a weekend of the dry season, when days are warm and clear and nights fall to around ten degrees. The organisers say it goes ahead in rain or shine, though February rain here is rare.
Inside the circuit
- kineticFIELD. The main stage, the headliners and the biggest crowd. VIP passes add a raised viewing platform beside it.
- circuitGROUNDS and neonGARDEN. The other large stages, for harder and deeper sets, and usually the easier places to get near the front.
- The walkways between them. Rides, installations and roaming performers fill the space, and the distances are worth allowing for when you plan whose set to catch.
Tickets and what it costs
Passes are for all three days. Ticketmaster sells them in Mexico and Frontgate to buyers in the US and Canada, and the price rises in phases as each tier sells out, so the first tier is the cheapest you will see; the card above gives those prices, all-in. The organisers warn that resold tickets may be fake and will not get you in.
GA+ adds a faster entrance and air-conditioned toilets. VIP, for over-18s with ID only, adds viewing platforms, lounges and its own food and bars. International orders are collected from will call at Gate 6 of the circuit, near Ciudad Deportiva station.
A pass scans once each day, cannot be handed to a friend once it has been used, and there is no re-entry after you are through the gate.

Getting there
Metro Line 9 has three stations near the circuit, Velódromo, Ciudad Deportiva and Puebla, and Metrobús Line 2 stops at UPIICSA and El Rodeo. The international airport is close by, a short taxi ride away.
Leaving is the hard part. Tens of thousands go at once, ride-hailing prices surge and the Metro stops around midnight, so agree a meeting point and keep a phone charged.
Security is airport-style, with pockets and bags emptied. Only small bags and single-compartment backpacks are allowed, and the organisers state zero tolerance for drugs, with police inside and outside.
Mistakes worth avoiding
Waiting for the price to drop
It goes up, in phases, as each tier sells out. The first tier is the cheapest it gets.
Buying from a reseller
The organisers warn that resold tickets may be fake and will be refused. Buy from Ticketmaster or Frontgate.
Dressing for the afternoon
At this altitude a warm February day turns cold after dark. Bring a layer you can tie round your waist.
Bringing the wrong ID
To drink or enter VIP you need a passport, an INE card or a foreign driving licence. A Mexican driving licence or a student card is not accepted.
Counting on the Metro home
It closes around midnight. Plan a ride, or a meeting point, for the end of the night.
