Electric Daisy Carnival dominated Las Vegas over the weekend with the biggest and best in dance music, plenty of flames and fire, thundering bass, wild, roving performers, and euphoric attendees from all over the globe. The crowds (aka Headliners) added their own creativity and expression in the form of festival totems, which come in any shape and size and theme you can imagine. There's something to be said about a good festival totem. They simplify the process of locating your squad while simultaneously serving as lightning rods for cosmic energy on the dance floor.

Everfest was on the ground asking some Headliners what inspired theirs and capturing the best of the rest we saw throughout the chaotic, bombastic weekend.

Davis and Royal: Unicorn Totems

"They are totems with the Basscon and Defqon logos on [the unicorn's] heads. We fell in love with Hardstyle music and the community. It represents our rave fam, and we love unicorns! This is [our] first EDC."

Esau: Goku Cloud Totem

"I've always been into anime since I was a kid and DragonBall Z was the first anime that I've ever watched!"

Kristian: Black Tiger Sex Machine Totem

"I love Black Tiger Sex Machine, this is my fifth time seeing them!"
