EDC Korea 2026 will feature world-renowned DJs, breathtaking stage production, large-scale art installations, interactive experiences, and the vibrant carnival atmosphere that defines the global EDC brand.

Presale tickets are expected to begin in February 2026, with high demand anticipated due to the festival’s growing international reputation.
Why October Matters
This year’s shift to an autumn schedule is a strategic move designed to enhance the overall festival experience. Cooler temperatures in early October provide a more comfortable environment for attendees, while the extended holiday period in South Korea also makes it easier for international travelers to plan their trips.
The location at Inspire Entertainment Resort further strengthens accessibility, being situated just 15 minutes from Incheon International Airport, one of Asia’s most connected aviation hubs.
