After a much-deserved vacation with family, legendary Techno DJ Sven Väth announced his debut set at EDC Las Vegas. His 2020 world tour will kick off his 38th year as a touring producer and DJ, having kicked off his first residency in 1982. We assume he will be joining Boris Brechja at neonGarden as he also confirmed, making for an already diverse Techno and Tech House lineup at the hallowed stage.

Sven Väth is quite simply unique. A legend in his own lifetime with a commitment and passion that has influenced the advance and evolution of electronic music. Clubs, record labels and careers have been launched. So it’s right he finally makes his EDC Las Vegas debut during its 10th anniversary this May.

For those are unfamiliar with this legend. Here’s a little more about him.

1981 and Frankfurt it started. Quickly the figurehead for a techno revolution in Germany that was to spread far and wide. Worldwide. Setting sail alone, this was 1981 and this was new. The Omen Club and so many other adventures punctuated this period, getting the sound out there . Vinyl then, vinyl now. Parties that mattered and changed things. Parties that reinforced a vision and eventually gave birth to Cocoon.

An extraordinary residency in one of the best clubs in the world was unleashed in 1999. Cocoon Ibiza, Amnesia on a Monday night. Now 16 years of parties that have set new standards in production and have never compromised on what matters. The music. An incredible risk became, and still is, one of the great successes in modern music and clubbing. A phenomenon now attracting upwards of 80,000 visitors in a 4 month season with Sven Vath front and centre throughout.
Along with Cocoon Ibiza Sven created a booking agency (now Flash Artist Booking – targeting the best and the brightest), an event agency (Cocoon Event – spreading the vision across 5 continents and now over 30 countries) and a record label (Cocoon Recordings – with a back catalogue stuffed with quality) that gets ever more important and keeps on growing.

For all that you just have to meet the man behind the decks to really get it. With vinyl flailing he picks up a crowd and takes them with him. At a Sven gig you are in a performance with no one knowing quite what is going to happen. It has always been so. There may be 120 gigs a year, some very big some more intimate, but you will always feel invited and you will always see the heart of the man. That heart belongs to the crowd. Everyone is a VIP. Sven Väth is rock and roll.

Stay tuned to find out what other acts will be joining them for EDC Las Vegas’ 10th anniversary. If we’re lucky, we’ll have yet another special mix to reveal the lineup stage by stage.
