EDC 2025 in Las Vegas featured some of the most ridiculous drink prices ever with one champagne package costing more than most houses.

If you’re ever going to a sporting event or concert, food and drinks are going to be marked up big time, but one festival in Vegas has taken things to another level.

The Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) is an annual electronic dance music festival that attracts hundreds of thousands of attendees.

The 2025 installment took place on May 16-18 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the event is going viral for all the wrong reasons after its drink prices appeared online.

Vegas music festival charges $90 for water & over $500,000 for champagne

X account Las Vegas Locally posted a list of the drink prices at EDC revealing the insane price of getting a beverage at the festival.

For a six-pack of Smartwater, fans would need to fork out $90 and that’s not counting a possible tip either.

Speaking of water, six Bud Lights would set festivalgoers back $140.

Champagne packages start a $10,000 with three being over $100,000. The most expensive package dubbed ‘The Notorious’ is listed for $575,000.

The prices spread across social media with many baffled at how much the drinks cost and others upset at the festival for charging $90 for water, even if it’s bottle service.

“Charge whatever you want for alcohol. Should be illegal to charge that for water,” one slammed.

“Pack of zero alcohol White Claws….$90. I have no words,” another chimed in.

“This is why people are buying edibles,” someone else wrote.
