Apple Music has stepped up its EDM game with the launch of “Club Live,” which is preparing to stream EDC Las Vegas before select performances are made available for on-demand listening in spatial audio.

A rep for the Apple-owned DSP reached out with word of Club Live, which is setting sail in tandem with Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas’ 2026 kickoff. At the top level, the Apple Music Club radio station is poised to stream EDC audio (which will also air via Insomniac Radio) free of charge tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday.

Fans will be able to catch EDC Las Vegas performances from 7 PM PT until the early hours of the morning, at which point a rebroadcast will commence until the following evening.

And as highlighted, “select sets will be available for on demand playback in spatial audio” after the fact. Unlike the streams themselves, access to the on-demand component will be reserved for Apple Music subscribers.

This is the same approach, some will recognize, in place for Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Requiem, which streamed live for all but afforded only paid users on-demand listening options.

Notably, though streaming EDC Las Vegas is certainly a good way for Apple Music to hit the ground running with Club Live, additional sessions are expected to “roll out regularly, from clubs, festivals, and Apple Music’s studios.” Upcoming artists and performances will be announced “soon,” the platform confirmed.

“Club Live is an extension of what we’re building at Apple Music, a true home for artists and our global community,” added Stephen Campbell, Apple Music’s global head of dance, electronic, and DJ mixes.

“Teaming up with iconic festivals like EDC allows us to connect fans with the energy and culture of dance music at its source,” he continued. “With Club Live and Apple Music as the definitive destination for all EDC DJ sets, we’re opening up these defining cultural moments by bringing world-class performances and the energy of the dance floor to audiences everywhere.”

Apple Music isn’t alone in embracing live content (plus related on-demand offerings) in an effort to stand out in the crowded streaming arena.

Earlier this week, Amazon Music announced that it would once again host a behind-the-scenes broadcast from the Ivor Novello Awards, which are slated for next Thursday, May 21st. This coverage will include a dedicated Twitch stream, interviews, exclusive performances, and more.

Additionally, the Amazon-owned service on Wednesday confirmed that it (plus Prime Video and Twitch) would once again be the exclusive streaming home of Primavera Sound Barcelona, which will take place from June 3rd (with free-to-access shows from four acts) through the 7th.
