Moved from May to October this year, EDC will return to Las Vegas in 2020. To not let fans without music, Electric Daisy Carnival founder Pasquale Rotella will host a 3-day Virtual Festival called Rave-a-thon.

The COVID-19 pandemic has re-shaped the electronic music worldwide with the biggest festivals canceling their 2020 edition, clubs forced to close and DJs stuck at home. For this reason, with tons of free time and no chance to tour, A lot of DJs and event organizers have launched a series of Virtual Event. In the form of a normal live stream, big festivals have moved their lineup on online marathons with 24-hour and even 36-hour non-stop live stream as happened some weeks ago thanks to Beatport.
