Electric Daisy Carnival New York announces its 2013 lineup
EDC NY 2013 returns to the tri-state area for two days in May, relocating from New Jersey's Met Life Stadium to an official New York location at Citi Field. The festival's second foray into the Northeast market has been scaled back to a two-day affair but will likely feature more of the over-the-top atmosphere than it did in its inaugural outing. Phase 1 of the festival's lineup has just been announced, featuring Calvin Harris, Eric Prydz, Afrojack, Porter Robinson, Dirty South, Carl Cox, Damian Lazarus and more. Interestingly enough, Empire of the Sun is also listed - bringing a live performance element to the festival in 2013.

As of writing, the promotional company behind FSDMF, Aura Presents, has reportedly filed for bankruptcy - leaving the festival's future extremely uncertain and opening the door for Insomniac and EDC Chicago to bring its world-renowned brand to the Windy City.
