May 18 News Highlights: EDC 2025 Vegas Chaos, Celebs, Sports Stars, Ship Crash & Surprises!


via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyZf2t9QO0A Las Vegas, NV - The 2025 Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) launched with a bang, drawing over 500,000 attendees to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway despite unpredictable Las Vegas weather. The festival, streamed worldwide via EDC live stream, showcased headliners like Kanye West and Bad Bunny, but a series of unexpected incidents stole the spotlight. Just hours before the event, a cargo ship collided with the Brooklyn Bridge, disrupting travel and delaying performers like Shane Gillis, Ego Nwodim, and Bowen Yang—all part of the SNL cast 2025—who were set to host a comedy stage. The ship accident’s ripple effects reached far beyond New York. Emma Watson, promoting her new film 28 Years Later (a sequel to 28 Days Later), arrived late but joined Scarlett Johansson and Hilary Duff in the VIP section. Meanwhile, Amanda Bynes and Emily Ratajkowski mingled with fans, while Jen Affleck documented the chaos for a Wes Anderson-inspired short film. Across the festival grounds, Marcello Hernandez and Demi Engemann—friends from San Diego FC—stumbled upon VIP passes, sparking their own adventure. Sports stars weren’t absent either. Kenley Jansen, Michael Conforto, Freddie Freeman, Juan Soto (of the Yankees), Mike Trout, Andy Pages, and Kirby Yates—fresh off a Dodgers vs Angels game (check the Dodgers score)—attended as fans, while Fernando Vargas Jr. hyped up the crowd before an AEW Collision match aired backstage. The SF Giants crew, including Mike Miller, watched the Giants game today on screens between sets, debating NWSL standings and Oregon softball highlights with Bay FC supporters. The festival’s climax came with a surprise performance by Axl Rose and Tim Curry, blending rock and theatrical flair, while Mike Myers and James Austin Johnson improvised a skit about Heath Ledger’s legacy. Tyler Perry debuted a teaser for Final Destination: Bloodlines, its post-credit scene sparking buzz, and Colin Jost quipped about the US Embassy issuing travel warnings after the bridge fiasco. Nearby, Grand Canyon University students cheered as Storm vs Mercury played on a jumbo screen. Amid the chaos, Dave Portnoy livestreamed his festival antics, while Fred West and Cuauhtémoc—local DJs—kept the BassPod stage alive. The weekend wasn’t without its hiccups: the bridge cleanup continued, and New York engineers worked tirelessly. Yet, EDC 2025 proved resilient, uniting a wild mix of talent and fans in a way only Las Vegas could.
