But if us Americans do manage to escape the wrath of Hurricane Irene and are around come New Year’s Eve 2011, here’s one one potential entertainment option. The first-ever Lights All Night music festival will round together such electro heavyweights as Tiësto, Girl Talk, MSTRKRFT, Benny Benassi, Ghostland Observatory, Diplo, and Pendulum (DJ Set) for a two-night party at the Dallas Convention Center.

Other confirmed notables include Wolfgang Gartner, Laidback Luke, Flux Pavilion, Neon Indian, RJD2, Felix Cartal, Zeds Dead, Excision, Dada Life, Porter Robinson, Archnemesis, Sandro Silva, and The M Machine.

Electric Daisy Carnival moves to a new home in 2011, but its lineup remains as massive as ever. Tiësto, David Guetta, and Swedish House Mafia are set to head this year’s festivities, with Paul Oakenfold, Infected Mushroom, Boys Noize, Bassnectar, Empire of the Sun, Major Lazer, Wolfgang Gartner, Röyksopp, and MSTRKRFT among the other scheduled heavy weights.

After legal troubles forced the annual rave to leave its longtime home of Los Angeles, California, EDC set it sights on Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where it will host an expected crowd of over 100,000 festival-goers between June 24th and 26th. Other confirmed notables include Skream & Benga, Skrillex, The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77, Felix Cartal, The Glitch Mob, Afrojak, Robbie Rivera, The Crystal Method (DJ Set), Steve Aoki, and Richie Hawtin, who will perform both a solo set and present his Plastikman project.

Among the other highlights are Steve Bug, Sub Focus, High Contrast, Sander Van Doorn, Markus Schulz, Rusko, Boris, Beats Antique, Dada Life, Datsik, Dieselboy, Feed Me, Ferry Corsten, Steve Angello, Hernan Cattaneo, Greent Velvet, Evol Intent, Christopher Lawrence, ATB, and 12th Planet.

Even more acts will be announced in the coming weeks. In the meantime, check out all the current lineup at our Festival Outlook.

$215.00 GA passes and $500.00 VIP passes are now available via the festival’s website. Single-day tickets will also be available.

The Los Angeles based Electric Daisy Carnival is an annual wet dream for fans of electronica and house. Each year, hundreds of thousands take over Exposition Park and the L.A. Coliseum for a weekend featuring the genres’ biggest artists. In 2009, for example, some 140,000 — that’s a record by the way — conjugated to witness the likes of Groove Armada, Thievery Corporation, ATB, and Paul Oakenfold among others.

For 2010, organizers have once again round together quite the overwhelming bill. Deadmau5, Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Swedish House Mafia, and Benny Benassi top the festivities, while noteworthy acts like Moby (DJ Set), Kaskade, Basement Jaxx (DJ Set), Infected Mushroom, Groove Armada (DJ Set), Sasha, DJ Z-Trip, Boys Noize, and the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am are also set to perform.

Other scheduled acts include MSTRKRFT, Travis Barker & A-Trak, Steve Aoki, Spank Rock, Felix Cartal, Wolfgang Gartner, Duck Sauce, Armand van Helden, Dada Life, Christopher Lawrence, Claude von Stroke, Dieselboy, Evol Intent, Xample, and Andy C. A full list of confirmed acts can be found here; day-by-day schedule here.

Electric Daisy Carnival 2010 takes place from June 25-26. General admission tickets for Friday and Saturday (priced at $65 and $75 respectively), two-day passes ($129), and VIP packages are now available.
