To close the Summer 2023 festival season, Insomniac Events is hosting the 28th edition of its first-ever event, Nocturnal Wonderland. Returning to Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernadino, CA, Nocturnal will take place on September 16 – 17, 2023, so mark your calendars — this event is a true testament to the enduring allure of the festival experience!
At nightfall, Nocturnal takes festivalgoers to an enchanting realm where vivid colors brighten the forest and mysterious creatures roam, emphasizing a thematic connection between nocturnal beings and ravers, who flourish after dark. Let’s glimpse into the celebration of music and community that awaits at Nocturnal 2023.
Featuring some of the biggest names in EDM, Nocturnal 2023 offers a diverse range of sounds catering to fans of many genres. The massive lineup includes house heavyweights such as Dirtybird’s own Claude VonStroke, father of electro-house Benny Benassi, and other staples such as Valentino Khan, Joel Corry, and AC Slater. Headbangers will be happy here, with sets from dubstep legends like Subtronics, Wooli, Bear Grillz, and Ray Volpe. The lineup even includes international drum and bass pioneers such as Dimension and Pendulum. Nocturnal’s 2023 talent lineup exceeds expectations by offering a multitude of genre-defining DJs slated to play throughout the two-day event.
Being the longest-running EDM festival in the United States, Insomniac strongly emphasizes fostering unity and connection among its attendees. One of the defining aspects of Nocturnal is its focus on the raving community and an ethos of peace, love, unity, and respect (PLUR). As part of its community-building effort, Nocturnal sets itself apart from other festivals by offering only general admission (GA), rather than three or more tiers like Electric Daisy Carnival, which offers GA, GA+, and multiple VIP packages. By offering only a single ticket tier at Nocturnal, Insomniac prioritizes an equal experience for all attendees.
If you haven’t secured a ticket yet, go get one! Saturday, Sunday, and 2-Day passes are still available on the festival’s website. This truly iconic event showcases an impressive 2023 lineup, and it provides a space for people of all backgrounds to revel in a collective passion for music and embark on a mesmerizing journey of wonder and whimsy at Nocturnal Wonderland.
