If you ever wondered if EDC can get any cooler…turns out, it can. This year, we’re going the extra mile, with extra cool outfits, because the EDC “Minion Army” movement just got officially real.
The EDC Minion Army
For those of you wondering what we’re talking about, let’s get a bit of context. A TikTok user called tinfawn posted a video calling festival lovers to dress up as minions and take over the EDC grounds. He said he initially popped the question in his Texas friends group (around 200 people), and everyone was pretty down for it – but how much better would it be if we’re talking thousands?!
The video blew up and people in the comments started asking for more details, like “I’m in, which day?” A plan seemed to be in motion – but this was just the biggening!
Not a drill – EDC is in!
It started as a funny idea to get a squad together, but now the actual EDC Vegas Instagram account has stepped in, commenting that they want to help make it happen. This is no longer a drill! With the festival organizers officially supporting the “Minion Horde,” this takeover is basically confirmed to be legendary.
Join the coolest movement of the year
The mobilization is moving fast. As of late January, there are already nearly 500 people signed up on Partiful and over 400 active in the Discord. The aim? Hitting that 1000-minion-dream. If you wanna be part of history (and wonderful chaos), sign up soon. The plan is for the EDC Minion Army to go all in on day 1.
EDC 2026
EDC Las Vegas 2026 is officially set to return to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway from May 15–17, 2026. This edition will mark a massive chapter for the festival’s 30+ year history. While the full lineup is typically kept under wraps until closer to the event (often dropping in late spring – keep an eye on our page!), the hype is already legit. There are already sold-out ticket tiers and eager speculation about stage takeovers.
Besides the famous and usual mix of world-class production, art installations, and sunrise sets, this year’s Minion Army will add even more magic to the event. Whether you’re a veteran or consider attending EDC for the first time, this edition will be one for the books.
