The world's biggest EDM festivals in 2027

World's biggest EDM festival dates for 2027 at a glance.

Three of the nine fall in the second week of July 2027: Airbeat One, Ultra Europe and Awakenings.

Which is the biggest EDM festival in the world?

By reported attendance, the biggest EDM festival in the world is EDC Las Vegas or Untold in Romania. Both reported more than 500,000 in 2026. Tomorrowland, the name most people expect, comes third.

EDC Las Vegas

EDC Las Vegas is held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The 2026 edition, on 15 to 17 May, drew more than 500,000 people over three days, and the 2024 edition drew over 525,000. That 2024 figure is the highest any ticketed festival on this list has published, so on the numbers it is the largest EDM festival in the world. For 2027 Insomniac is splitting it into two weekends: EDC Dusk on 14 to 16 May and EDC Dawn on 21 to 23 May, inside a 12 day run from 13 to 24 May that Insomniac calls Dusk Till Dawn. It says the 2027 festival is being designed with a lower capacity. See the EDC Las Vegas guide.

Untold, Cluj-Napoca

Untold takes place in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, with its main stage in Cluj Arena. Pollstar reported more than 500,000 visitors across four days in August 2026, on nine stages. Most of the bill is electronic, with Afrojack, Carl Cox, Kygo and Martin Garrix in 2026, alongside pop names such as Sting and Lewis Capaldi. The 2027 edition is on 5 to 8 August. See the Untold guide.

Tomorrowland, Belgium

Tomorrowland is held in Boom, Belgium, over two weekends. The 2026 edition drew 400,000 festivalgoers from more than 200 countries, on 17 to 19 and 24 to 26 July. Its livestreams were watched 233 million times. The 2027 dates have not been announced. See the Tomorrowland guide.

Which are the rest of the world's biggest electronic music festivals?

The next six are in Germany, the US, Croatia, the Netherlands and the UK.

Parookaville, Germany

Parookaville is held at Weeze Airport in the Lower Rhine region of Germany. WDR reported 225,000 visitors in 2026, counted across three show days and five camping days with pre-parties. The 2027 edition is on 16 to 18 July. See the Parookaville guide.

Airbeat One, Germany

Airbeat One is held in Neustadt-Glewe, in northern Germany. The organiser reported a record 210,000 guests over five days in 2026. The 2027 edition marks its 25th anniversary, on 7 to 11 July. See the Airbeat One guide.

Ultra Miami

Ultra is held in Bayfront Park, Miami, in March. The 2026 edition sold out with 165,000 people from 100 countries. The 2027 edition is on 26 to 28 March. See the Ultra guide.

Ultra Europe, Croatia

Ultra Europe is held in Split, Croatia. Its organisers reported more than 150,000 attendees from over 140 countries at the ninth edition in 2023, the last final figure they published. The 2027 edition is on 9 to 11 July.

Awakenings, Netherlands

Awakenings is the techno festival on this list, held in Hilvarenbeek in the south of the Netherlands. The 2026 edition sold out with a record 119,000 visitors announced before it opened. The 2027 edition is on 9 to 11 July. See the Awakenings guide.

Creamfields, England

Creamfields is held at Daresbury, Cheshire, over the August bank holiday. More than 80,000 fans were expected over four days in 2026. The 2027 edition, its 30th year, is on 26 to 29 August. See the Creamfields guide.

What is the largest electronic music festival in the world?

If free events count, the largest electronic music festival in the world is the Street Parade in Zurich. It is a one day parade through the city, with no ticket. The organiser puts the crowd at 900,000 in 2026, 800,000 in 2025 and 920,000 in 2024, estimates of the people in the streets rather than a ticket count. That is why it is kept out of the ranking above. The 2027 Street Parade is on Saturday 14 August, from 13:00 to midnight. For the Berlin parade that came before it, see the Love Parade.

The largest electronic music festival with tickets is EDC Las Vegas or Untold, depending on which year you compare. Both put their 2026 figure above 500,000, and EDC has the higher single figure, over 525,000 in 2024.

Not on this list, and why.

These come up in the same searches and fall outside the tests above.

• Glastonbury, Coachella, Lollapalooza and Sziget. These are general music festivals, with rock, pop and rap at the top of the bill, so they are not ranked here. See this site's guides to Glastonbury, Coachella, Lollapalooza and Sziget.
• Mysteryland. The Dutch festival says it welcomes more than 125,000 visitors each year, but it gives no figure for a single edition, and it did not run in 2026. See the Mysteryland guide.

How to choose.

Size changes how the day feels. At EDC, Untold and Tomorrowland the main stage crowd is the event, and the walk between stages takes time. At the smaller festivals here, such as Awakenings or Creamfields, it is easier to move around and catch more sets.

Check dates with the festival before you book travel, because Tomorrowland has not yet published 2027.
