Camping World Stadium in Orlando, where EDC Orlando takes place each year, is undergoing a significant expansion over the next few years. This upgrade includes 18,000 new seats, a 360-degree concourse, and a 100,000-square-foot indoor event center. These changes aim to improve the fan experience and make the stadium more suitable for larger events. Essentially, the plan is to make the stadium symmetrical, add an upper bowl with a concourse to walk around the entire stadium from the upper level, and give it the look and abilities of an NFL stadium.

Key Upgrades

The stadium will increase its seating capacity by 18,000. This expansion will allow more fans to attend major events. Additionally, the 360-degree concourse will improve the flow of visitors. Fans will enjoy easier access to food, beverages, and amenities. A new 100,000-square-foot indoor event center will host a variety of events. This space is versatile and perfect for shows, trade shows, and most importantly, EDC Orlando. (:

These upgrades are set to elevate the stadium as a top choice for both sports and entertainment events. With these modernized facilities, Camping World Stadium will be better equipped to handle Orlando’s growing event scene.

List of Improvements

  • Maximize seating mix and functionality of the Stadium, to maintain existing events and attract new events (achieve 65,000 total seats for sporting events vs 63,000 existing seats)
  • Improvements to upper seating bowls to increase life-span.
  • Elevate fan experience from Stadium campus entry to departure.
  • Modernize and improve stadium systems.
  • Maximize flexibility of the Stadium and Campus for a variety of events.
  • Multipurpose Indoor Event Center (100,000 sq ft) for attracting new events.
  • Other Improvements to enhance the venue’s competitiveness

EDC Orlando @ Camping World Stadium

This approval comes in the wake of Pasquale Rotella announcing that EDC Orlando 2025 would have an expanded footprint. Does that have anything to do with this approval? We have no idea at this point, but we can be sure the construction will impact at least one edition of EDC Orlando, if not several.

Camping World Stadium is a key venue for Orlando music events. One of the most notable in our world of dance is EDC Orlando, a major EDM festival. Certainly, the festival attracts thousands of dance fans each year. It features world-renowned DJs and stunning stage performances. The expanded stadium will make EDC Orlando even more exciting. More space and improved facilities will provide a better experience for all attendees. The work is expected to begin at the end of 2025 or during 2026 with expected completion in 2027.

Once the upgrades are done, we could see a future where EDC incorporates the inside of the stadium for a stage, incorporates the new 100,000 sq ft events center, or allows people to walk through the stadium to get from one side to the other. The possibilities are endless!

The upgrades are a perfect fit for events like EDC Orlando. They will ensure that Camping World Stadium continues to lead the way in hosting Orlando’s largest music festivals. You can check out future events here but if you want to skip the time and pull the trigger on a EDCO ticket, go here!
