Born as a response to the unprecedented challenges facing nightlife industries in 2020, Electronic Labor Day (ELD) was conceived as a digital electronic music festival with the goal to monetarily support non managerial staff.
The first Electronic Labor Day edition, hosted on the 1st of May weekend in 2020, sought support for Lebanon’s ailing nightlife industry, which was struggling with an ongoing economic crisis, Covid-19 lockdown measures and ensuing financial distress. ELD aims to combine exceptional online music entertainment with effective and transparent fundraising to supply our local scenes with fresh festival experiences and much needed support.
Electronic Labor Day in partnership with Carl Cox and supported by Beatport, will be hosting a fundraising event on September 13, 2020 to provide much needed relief and support to the people of Lebanon and the many affected by the recent tragedy: the Beirut explosion on August 4.
