Food: You cannot bring food into the festival, but inside the event you will find food and beverage stands (including beers), as well as vendors walking among the people.

Hydration: It is very important that you remain hydrated to stay energized throughout the festival. In addition to the drinks you can buy at the booths and from the vendors, you will find free water stations where you can refill your Insomniac bottle (which you can buy at the festival merch booth).

Note: You can’t bring your own water bottle, you have to buy one inside the festival and then you can refill it for free.

Money: The payment method inside the festival is through a cashless wristband, which you can obtain at any recharge area within the event premises.

You can add funds to your wristband using a debit card, credit card, or cash. If you don’t use all the money you’ve loaded onto your wristband, you can request a refund online. Here’s the link where you can find the form to request your refund.

Permitted and Prohibited Items: At all concerts and festivals there are prohibitions on what can be brought into the event.  Here you can see the complete list of allowed and prohibited items at EDC Mexico 2024.

Security: Of course, it goes without saying that you should always be aware of your belongings and valuables. If needed, lockers will be available at the festival for safely storing your belongings.

Lodging: Finally, there are many options to stay in Mexico City, but without a doubt the best one to enjoy a young and festival atmosphere, even outside of EDC, is Hostel Barrio.
