The Contact Music Festival is the pre-eminent electronic dance music event of the holiday season in Vancouver.

The multistage sound and light show, which usually takes place at B.C. Place, has featured the biggest names in EDM since its start in 2012. Big-name DJs to play the concert in the past have include Deadmau5, Zedd, Skrillex, Tiësto, and many more.

The post-Christmas concert serves as a cold season companion to the popular FVDED in the Park festival of summer held in Surrey. Tickets sell out most years and it’s a go-to multi-day experience to enjoy in peak winter.

The presale sign up has opened and you can register at contact-festival.com . Here are a few things to know.

The Contact Music Festival will take place on Dec. 26 and 27. The event venue is yet to be announced.
