Over 400,000 headliners gathered under the electric sky in Las Vegas for Electric Daisy Carnival’s landmark, sold-out 20th anniversary this past weekend to celebrate dance music culture, creativity, and an appreciation of life’s beautiful moments.

A slew of surprise appearances and performances delighted fans all weekend. Tonight at kineticTEMPLE, Grammy Award winning artist, John Legend, joined Tiësto on stage for a performance of their hit song “All Of Me.” Skrillex took over the mic during the enigmatic DJ Marshmello’s set on cosmicMEADOW, and made an impromptu stop at neonGARDEN, joining Richie Hawtin on stage.

As headliners wandered the festival grounds, they were treated to such immersive attractions as the upside-downHOUSE (featuring 90s warehouse legends), and the three-times-larger-than-last-year circuitGROUNDS (featuring an incredible lineup with the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Markus Schulz, Gareth Emery and more) which boasted360-degree special effects. There was also Memory Lane, which was a twinkling, LED video screen-lined portal for fans to travel through the history of Electric Daisy Carnival with footage dating back almost a decade.

Below are the best images from all the action under the electric sky this year.
