Organizers of the second annual Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas declared the three-day party a success , despite high-winds that cut its marquee night short on Saturday.

Promoters say a whopping 115,000 people were in attendance on the final night Sunday, which saw performances by David Guetta, Avicii, Dirty South, Chuckie, Morgan Page, John Digweed, Armin Van Buuren and more.

On Saturday ...

... promoters cut off the performances at 12:45 a.m. as high winds buffeted the towering stages at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

One festival worker told us there were more than 100,000 people at the venue that night, but promoters put the official number at 90,000: Fans who were waiting in line were turned away after the big stages were shut down.

After last year's booming, three-day crowd count of more than 215,000 people, organizers claimed they sold 300,000 three-day tickets for the weekend event, a number that rivals or beats the huge weekend crowds at Coachella, the nation's premier music fest.

The main stage at EDC, we were told, is the biggest such concert platform in North America.

EDM is followed by all the kids that came into the dance scene too late and prefer their scenes with no black and gays present. Real House wouldn't cut it with these corn fed Johnny and Janey come lately. It has to be wrapped up in the same way as rap and rock was for these kids to 'get it'. It is what it is, pop music, and these kids at EDC are from the same gene-pool that came into Disco briefly at the tail-end of 1979 and made that commercial. Next year half of these lot will branch off to burn MacBook's and controllers in football stadium as they announce Dance Music Sucks!

This is when you know that the devil's henchmen have taken 'dance music' for their own as rap no longer makes them any more money at EMI - it panders to the most common denominator, it's certainly not house and it'll be gone in two years. I mean these DJ's are remix Rihanna and Bieber for god sake. Steve Aoki's just remixed Girls Generation as mentioned in the Book of Revelations. The apocalypse is nearly upon us and Swedish House Mafia will take us there..
