BuddySOS for EDC Las Vegas
BuddySOS is a free festival app for EDC Las Vegas attendees. Live GPS for your group and one-tap SOS. iOS and Android.
Why a festival app for EDC Las Vegas?
EDC Las Vegas is the largest electronic dance music festival in North America. Three overnight sessions at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, with 500,000+ attendees across the weekend. Nighttime visibility, massive crowds, and multi-stage layout make coordinating with your group hard. A BuddySOS group keeps everyone on one map.
EDC's footprint is the entire Las Vegas Motor Speedway infield plus multiple stages, art installations, and activations. Peak crowd density around kineticFIELD on the third night is extreme. Add in the late-night start (dusk to sunrise) and visibility challenges, and most groups lose someone at least once.
How BuddySOS helps at EDC Las Vegas
- Live GPS pins on a shared map. Find your crew at kineticFIELD, circuitGROUNDS, neonGARDEN, or wherever you ended up.
- One-tap SOS that alerts the group with your live location.
- SOS keeps broadcasting after the phone is locked. Built for moments when holding the phone up to your face is itself a risk.
- Private to your group. Not visible to other EDC attendees.
Questions about BuddySOS at EDC Las Vegas
Does BuddySOS work overnight at EDC?
Yes. EDC Las Vegas runs from dusk to sunrise across three nights, and BuddySOS works the entire time. Battery Saver Mode helps stretch your phone across the long sessions.
Will my battery survive an EDC night?
BuddySOS has a Battery Saver Mode that adapts location polling to your movement so it does not hammer your battery while you are standing at a stage. The bigger battery drain at EDC is your screen, photos, and videos. Bring a small power bank for the overnight schedule.
