The r/electricdaisycarnival subreddit exploded with firsthand accounts of the tough reality: Circuit Grounds at EDC is an enormous playground that often feels like a maze. One festival-goer shared their multi-mile trek through dense crowds, only to find their friends were just a stage away. This scenario is a rite of passage for newcomers struggling to orient themselves around sprawling stage setups and “two-sided” meetup points.
The consensus? Wear extremely comfortable shoes and pack patience because EDC is part rave, part endurance test. While a few called the original post out as a possible karma grab, most users bonded over shared experiences of losing and finding crews — often by making new friends in the chaos.
Seasoned ravers recommend setting ultra-specific rally points like “front right speaker tower #6” or “left owl statue at Kinetic Field entrance” and syncing timed meetups. For those who do get separated or lose items, EDC’s Lost and Found has reported over 1,700 missing belongings recovered this year — from phones to IDs — spotlighting the scale of the festival’s challenges.
At its core, this shared struggle reflects EDC’s spirit: despite the size and confusion, there’s always a chance to connect and rave on with new friends. Drop a 🔥 if you’ve battled the Circuit Grounds maze trying to regroup.
