Another day closer to Hulaween 2025, and another artist you can’t miss: Future Joy. The DJ power couple, Emily Cooper and Zach Simms, are bringing their vibrant, high-energy sets to Suwannee Music Park this weekend. Returning for their fifth Hula performance, this year’s set marks their debut on the fan-favorite Amphitheater Stage, where fans can catch them at 4:45 PM on Thursday. They’re unveiling a Toy Story theme this time around, inviting fans to get creative with costumes and join the adventure.
Hailing from St. Petersburg, Florida and Denver, Colorado, Future Joy blends elements of house, funk, drum and bass, jazz, and more with their signature vocals and live instrumentation. Both Cooper and Simms play keys, sing, and DJ, while Simms brings extra funk with tenor, baritone, and bass saxophones. Known for getting the dance floor moving and building genuine connections through music and joy, Future Joy is quickly becoming the soundtrack to elevating both mind and soul.
Future Joy has been on a festival roll, performing at some of the most iconic events across the country. Apart from Hulaween, they’ve taken the stage at Bonnaroo, Joshua Tree, Treefort, Elements, Secret Dreams, Resonate, and more. The duo has also played direct support for artists like Manic Focus, BoomBox, Sunsquabi, The Polish Ambassador, Moon Hooch, and Marvel Years, among others.
To wrap up the summer, they released their debut full-length studio album “NOW” in July, a 13-track journey that reflects their deep love and musical connection as they travel the country performing from their RV. Having recently tied the knot at Joyful Festival in February, that raw emotional energy shines through, giving the album an intimate and heartfelt touch. At its core, “NOW” is also a celebration of living fully in the present moment, capturing the joy, spontaneity, and gratitude that define both their music and their lives.
We can’t wait to catch Future Joy’s signature sax-infused energy at Hulaween this weekend! See you at their set on Thursday, October 30, at 4:45 PM on The Amphitheater Stage.
If you can’t get enough after Suwannee, the music doesn’t stop there! The duo will keep the vibes rolling with upcoming shows at Asheville Music Hall on December 31, Animas City Theatre in Durango, CO on January 17, Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, CO on January 18, Meow Wolf Denver’s Convergence Station on January 23, and Joyful 2026 in St. Petersburg, FL on January 31.

Up and coming DJ/producer BVRRN teams up with DijahSB for infectious pop-house anthem “Rebound.” Set to release on Brainjack, “Rebound” is BVRRN’s third release with the coveted label. “Rebound” is a fantastic example of modern genre fusion, executed with surgical precision. The track is both a hard-hitting club weapon and a lyrically compelling rap song that feels both relevant and personal.

BVRRN’s production can be best described by its kinetic energy and impeccable sound design. The beat is defined by a deep, almost rubbery bassline, containing a modulated synth that acts less like background support and more like a second melodic lead. Engineering songs in this fashion is BVRRN’s specialty, with the bassline hitting with percussive weight while retaining an elastic, melodic quality. The rhythmic backbone of “Rebound” is anchored by four-on-the-floor kicks, but the crucial element is the precision-cut, high-frequency shuffling hi-hats and delayed percussion accents. This complex structure allows the track to feel both driving and exceptionally bouncy.

DijahSB’s delivery is smooth, conversational, and carries a wry, knowing wit, seamlessly riding the complex, fast-paced rhythm without ever sounding rushed. They excel at using highly specific, observational lines that make the listener feel like they are sharing a casual conversation, reinforcing their position as a voice for those navigating modern life’s anxieties and triumphs. This lyrical depth is what transforms “Rebound” from a standard club track into a lasting anthem.
Dive deeper into the worlds of BVRRN and DijahSB by following them and blasting their music through the links below. Their careers are expanding, so prepare to be swept away in a world of immaculate vibes and phenomenal music. Also, make sure to find “Rebound” headlining our New Music Friday playlist this week!
Following a multi-year run of collaborations and high-energy singles, LYNY finally delivered his debut album, Noise To Dance To, last week on October 17. The Chicago-born artist delivers an incredible showcase of his evolution, pushing his signature sound into fresh, uncharted territory, while balancing creativity and experimentation with familiarity.
Noise To Dance To exemplifies LYNY’s growth as an artist, while still effortlessly maintaining the signature LYNY sound his fans have come to love. LYNY’s sound has always been raw, gritty, and unique, which has helped him to stand out in what seems to be a never-ending ocean of bass talents.
The Lead Single: “Section”
The project features 11 tracks, which are all new, unreleased songs except for the lead single, “Section.” The song manipulates a vocal sample from Benny Benassi’s classic, “Satisfaction,” warping it to fit his aesthetic using his gritty LYNY bass and funky sound design.
The Classic LYNY Vibe
Tracks like “Step To It,” “Fire,” “Breaker,” and the Cozy Kev-collab “Triumph” bring that classic LYNY energy and are reminiscent of the early releases that helped him grow his audience over the years. His collaborations with PEEKABOO from last year come to mind, including his remix of “Bumpin'” and their collaboration on “Like That.” Those tracks would sound right at home within the first half of the album.
Pushing Boundaries
As the project unfolds, one can hear LYNY at his most adventurous. He spends the remainder of the album exploring new sounds and genres, particularly with “Sellout” and “King,” two raw, gritty drum & bass cuts that accelerate the project’s momentum. As the album progresses, Noise To Dance To begins to take shape as more than just a bass record. LYNY experiments with tempo, rhythm, and sound design throughout the project, and comes off as confident throughout, bridging his underground bass roots with elements from more mainstream influences to create something truly special.
The middle of the record shows off even more versatility, as LYNY fuses heavy trap and house elements on “Remember,” “Rude,” and “Money.” All three are fun, high-energy tracks that would set fire to any dance floor. “Money” stands out in particular, a vibrant trap anthem that channels the style and energy of many of the releases from trap-trailblazers like Knock2 and ISOXO.
Immediately following those high-energy tracks lies “Heard You,” a complete contrast to the previous tracks. “Heard You” slows the tempo and dives into a moodier space. Euphoric, heavy, atmospheric synths are highlighted alongside emotional vocals and synth chops, creating a cinematic atmosphere. It allows the listener to stop and breathe for a brief moment before nose-diving right back into the high-BPM drum & bass chaos of “Sellout.”

LYNY’s Studio Mindset
Beneath all the bass and energy, Noise To Dance To feels like a celebration of the creative process itself. It’s a record born from the joy of experimenting, a theme LYNY directly acknowledged when reflecting on the making of the album through an Instagram post last week.
“We had this sort of comical saying we always said in the studios when things got a bit too technical or hard: ‘we’re really just making noise on a computer,’ and I think that somehow has done wonders for us.“
It’s that playful, casual, and experimental mindset that defines Noise To Dance To.
The Finale: “Digital Runaway”
Closing the album is “Digital Runaway,” a remarkable finale that trades the heavy bass elements throughout the project for emotion and melody. An euphoric vocal sample rides over the nostalgic melodies that come together to create a true classic festival banger, reminiscent of hits from the early 2010s EDM era.
“Digital Runaway” is the perfect ending to a project that celebrates and highlights LYNY’s creativity, growth, and development as an artist, and the joy that he feels in creating exactly what this project was meant to be: Noise To Dance To.
LYNY’s Next Chapter
With Noise To Dance To, LYNY wasn’t just trying to cement his place in bass music; he’s completely redefining his sound and versatility as an artist. He’ll hit the road on a nationwide tour for the new album starting in November, working alongside the California-based event brand Brownies & Lemonade for tour support. From start to finish, the creativity and excitement can be felt within every track, and it’s obvious that this album was just as fun for LYNY to make as it is for the listener to experience. Don’t miss out on a chance to hear it live; tickets are on sale now.
BLXK MNTN makes a killer HypnoVizion debut with his all-new immersive EP, SWEAT.
A sexy club vibe tied together with mechanical builds and daunting drops, SWEAT fits in perfectly with HypnoVizion’s ominous aesthetic. The soundscape is dark, even sultry, and features more of a phonk sound than BLXK MNTN’s previous work.

BLXK MNTN describes SWEAT as “a slow slide into a darker world, part club and part synthetic dreamscape.”
“Lost her Soul” serves as a perfect opener to the EP, showcasing BLXK MNTN’s signature sound and storytelling skills.
The first track outlines the story of a succubus-esque subject and her dark tie to bass music. Its pulsing club beat beckons listeners to let the music control their movement.
BLXK MNTN follows up with “Ghost In The Shell,” a faster-paced track bound to excite listeners. While each song reveals his storytelling skills, SWEAT comes together as one complete narrative with each devilish dance track.
“Each track creates its own atmosphere, but together they tell a story that feels raw, intimate, and a little haunted,” BLXK MNTN said about SWEAT.
The second of three tracks, “Ghost In The Shell” is a precursor to the climax of the album.
Finally, the EP’s namesake, “Sweat,” is an absolutely nasty finisher to the album. Its creeping intro is a perfect build into the heaviest drops of all three songs.
While wrapping up the story effortlessly, BLXK MNTN creates tension with the longest buildups and driving lyrics. The song commands listeners to “Sweat” before ripping into a gritty baseline.

“Its sound is inspired by artists like Street Fever, Meus, Gesaffelstein, and Rezz, and lives somewhere between hypnotic grooves, distorted emotion, and dystopian energy,” BLXK MNTN said.
Being a music producer, DJ, and illustrator, BLXK MNTN is the full package. He’s a multimedia artist rising in the bass scene, quickly and quietly.
With previous music releases on labels Welcome Records and Deadbeats, BLXK MNTN is on the way to the top. His graphic work appears on releases from Deadbeats and HypnoVizion, and powers visuals for artists like Kayzo and Riot Ten.
It’ll be no surprise if BLXK MNTN’s audio-visual work becomes more prominent in the heavy, dark side of EDM soon. Listeners can stream SWEAT by BLXK MNTN here.
Kaskade’s new singles “DNCR” and “Imprint” tease listeners with a taste of what’s to come on his next album, Undux. Those two tracks, released Thursday, October 16, are the first of Kaskade’s tracks to be released from his upcoming album, slated to drop on December 4.
Though the tracks contrast in sound, they share themes of connection and renewal through their vulnerable lyricism and tasteful production. “DNCR” and “Imprint” highlight Kaskade’s evolution as a storyteller inspired by emotion.
Featuring a pulsing beat and euphoric vocals, “DNCR” delivers thick emotional intensity while maintaining Kaskade’s iconic, danceable sound. The track reflects how movement, specifically dance, encourages connection and inspires living in the now.
“This song taps into the power of surrender – the way connection can pull you out of your own head and into the present moment,” Kaskade said. “It’s about being moved by another person’s energy.”

Truthfully, the track is as addictive as some of Kaskade’s top dance hits. The beat’s ability to create movement, paired with alluring lyrics rolling off the tongue, makes the track an effortless listen.
While “DNCR” inspires free-spirited movement, “Imprint” slows down the tempo for a moving, introspective moment among listeners. With a beautiful metaphor behind the track title, “Imprint” will bring deep emotions to the surface for many.
“These lyrics come from a place of trying to make sense of a story that doesn’t unfold the way you imagined,” Kasakade said. “It’s about memory, perspective, and the marks people leave on our lives – sometimes permanent, sometimes like ink that fades.”
Photo Courtesy: MP3 Public Relations
The song begins with a beat, begging listeners to lock in on its meaningful lyrics. It’s certainly the type of song that gives listeners a moment for themselves to think, feel, and be.
Courtney Storm’s angelic, deep voice is an undeniable match for the moving story Kaskade tells with “Imprint.” While he crafts a calm, meaningful soundscape, her voice perfectly captures the tone of his narrative.
Evidently, Kaskade is no stranger to transparency regarding emotion, and these two singles showcase that. “Imprint” perfectly encapsulates the feeling of longing, matching its soft tune to lyrics written from the heart. “DNCR” explores the magic of dance and its ability to connect people of all backgrounds.
Kaskade’s forthcoming album, Undux, will be released on December 4 through his label, Arkade, and Monstercat. Listeners can presave it here.
Manic Focus, the electronic music project of John “JmaC” McCarten, is once again blurring genre lines with his latest full-length album, Other Side of Paradise. He fuses electronic, funk, soul, and hip-hop into a sound that grabs attention instantly. The album pushes his style forward while keeping the groove that fans know and love. Each track feels intentional, layering rich textures and emotional bass design that’s both raw and refined.
Manic Focus’ 10th studio album showcases his evolution as both a producer and performer. “Candy Apple” opens with lush melodies and midtempo basslines that glide effortlessly. “In The Dark” crashes in with distorted synths and sub-bass, delivering a thrilling rush. “Let Up Waves” takes a bold turn into deep progressive house, proving Manic Focus isn’t afraid to experiment. Every song stands on its own while contributing to a cohesive, adventurous story.
Beyond the studio, the 15-track LP highlights his versatility. Other Side of Paradise translates seamlessly into the live space. Collaborators elevate the project further. Phyphr, Borahm Lee, Megan Hamilton, and Marvel Years add depth and texture. Their contributions enhance the emotional range and stylistic breadth. Tracks like “River Road” and “Hey Boom Boom” blend blues-inflected riffs with electronic grooves. The result is an album that feels alive, unpredictable, and heartfelt. John shares,
“Over the past two years I’ve tried to come up with a more solid definition of the sound of Manic Focus, but I often find myself exploring more and more the enormous musical landscape before us and can’t stop experimenting with various synth elements and genres. I’ve always leaned more on the production side than the DJ side, but this album has a lot of good mix in/out points for DJs wanting to showcase the MF style. I hope you enjoy it. Much love! -John “JmaC” McCarten”
With Other Side of Paradise, Manic Focus proves he masters genre-defying electronic music. He experiments boldly while maintaining his groove. Fans can stream the album now and catch him live this fall. His high-energy sets merge improvisation and electronics, creating a living, breathing experience. With only three stops left — Lincoln, Iowa City, and Dallas — don’t miss your chance to feel every drop, rhythm shift, and melody live.
From the moment you stepped in through the gates at Lake Perris, you knew this wasn’t just another music festival — it was a living, breathing world, unfolding in front of you. Over three sunbaked days, Same Same But Different wove together adventures, artistic surprises, and pure communal bliss. What struck me most wasn’t the headliners (though they were stellar) — it was the energy, the curiosity, the countless side quests pulling you in every direction.
The World of SSBD
The festival grounds felt intentionally designed — not just for efficiency, but for discovery. You could wander down a path and suddenly find a hidden art installation shimmering in the trees, a pop-up drum circle, a yoga sound bath, or a random side stage by the water. There was always something happening. That sense of possibility — that you might stumble on a moment you didn’t even know you needed.
And the energy was infectious. People weren’t just showing up to see big names; they were showing up to explore, to dance, to interact. Conversations sprang up at art booths, in line for food, in kayaks floating in the water. Strangers became friends in a matter of minutes.
Beyond the Headliners: The Hidden Gems
Yes, the headliners — LSZEE, Zeds Dead, Dr. Fresch, and others — delivered. Big drops, poignant transitions, festival-scale spectacle. But what I’ll remember longest are the sets from artists I had no idea about before the weekend. Artists whose names were new to me, but whose sounds carried me deep into new moods. Eclectic blends of bass, world rhythms, ambient textures, glitch, and experimental. Those surprise performances kept me on my toes — sometimes I’d wander toward a stage just for curiosity, then stay for an hour, utterly hypnotized.
That diversity is one of SSBD’s greatest strengths. It doesn’t rely on the same formula — it trusts the curators, it trusts the crowd’s spirit of openness.
Floating in Sound: Lake Sessions & Nakey Island
One of the most magical things: enjoying music on the water. The lake stages offered an entirely different atmosphere. Your senses shift — the lap of water, the reflection of light on the surface, the gentle rocking — all blending with the beats. You’d drift by in a float, feel the sand between your toes, and suddenly your body is absorbing music differently.
And then there’s Nakey Island. People dancing freely, removed from the core of the festival, pure joy. It felt like a secret ceremony sometimes. The beats, the bodies, the energy were raw and generous. When the sun dipped low, the vibes there were among the festival’s deepest moments.
Side Quests & Art Everywhere
SSBD doesn’t settle for “main stage plus food trucks.” No — it thrives on side quests. “What’s behind that scrim?” “What’s happening behind that veil?” Every corner offered something unexpected:
Interactive art installations you could walk through, climb on, or trigger with motion
Workshops from flow arts to sound healing to trance yoga
Hidden pop-ups late at night
Beach parties, lakeside chill zones, secret paths
Ambient sound walks, meditation zones, mini performances in secluded pockets
These “mini-worlds” lent texture and depth to the festival. At no point did you feel pinned down; your pace, your path, your experience could wind and branch.
LSDream’s Lightcode Experience
In the midst of all the high energy, one of the most transcendent experiences came from LSDREAM’s Lightcode Sound Bath. As the day was getting started after a night full of dancing, hundreds gathered — some sitting cross-legged, others lying on the grass — to let the frequencies wash over them.
Lightcode wasn’t a “set” in the traditional sense. It was a collective exhale — an invitation to realign, breathe, and tune inward. LSDREAM guided the crowd through waves of ambient tones, cosmic hums, and crystalline synths that felt equal parts ancient and futuristic. The vibrations seemed to ripple through the air itself, mixing with the lake’s reflection and the quiet murmur of nature.
It was surreal to watch festivalgoers — many who had been headbanging hours before — now lying still, eyes closed, hands resting gently on the earth. For sixty minutes, the energy shifted from outward expression to inward connection. When it ended, the crowd rose slowly, glowing. You could feel the stillness in everyone — a shared reset before diving back into the night’s chaos.
Moments like that are what make Same Same But Different truly live up to its name.
The Collective Energy — Your Own Soundtrack
Throughout the festival, what tied everything together was people’s energy. Even during the downtimes — dusk, sunrise, transitions — you could feel chatter, laughter, hums of music somewhere, movement. Nobody sat still too long; even in rest, there was a pulse. The crowd felt participatory, not passive.
You’d catch yourself glancing upward at art pieces overhead, or sidestepping into a glowing tunnel, or being rung into a drum circle you stumbled into. That openness of space, of mind, of willingness — made the whole event richer.
Notable Highlights (Moments That Will Stay)
Watching an unexpected mid-afternoon set by a “small” artist turn into one of my favorite hours
Drifting on a float during a lake set, watching lasers and starlight blend
The whole Nakey Island sunset — dancers, waves, minimal barriers
Discovering an art piece late at night that shifted in light and shadow as you passed
The moment when a little workshop turned into a full jam session
Morning acroyoga on the lake’s edge
Final Impressions
Same Same But Different 2025, for me, was one of the top festival experiences I’ve had. The experience holds together because heart holds it together. It’s a festival that trusts participants to bring their curiosity, their energy, and their willingness to be surprised. I came with friends and left with even more.
If I had to sum it up: it felt less like “going to a festival” and more like “entering a living realm.” A world made of sound, art, water, movement, and connection. And I came out with new favorites, new stories, new friendships, and a renewed sense of what a festival can be.
Tape B is known for his hard-hitting, nostalgic flips of hip-hop staples, including remixes of TLC’s “No Scrubs,” A$AP Rocky’s “Peso” and “Goldie.” Having built a reputation for putting a fresh spin on timeless classics, he can now add Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” to the list, teaming up with Effin for a bass-driven reimagining. After months of anticipation, the track has finally arrived!
Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” is widely recognized as one of her most raw and relatable tracks, with lyrics that echo themes of heartbreak, self-destruction, and addiction. Tape B and Effin’s spin preserves that emotional vulnerability while layering in dynamic drops and sharp basslines. Serving as both a tribute and a modern, forward-thinking rework, the track perfectly balances her timeless vocals with beats ready for the dance floor.
Both Effin and Tape B were at Excision’s Lost Lands this year for the United States’ biggest bass music festivals. Friday’s attendees had the pleasure of hearing the new “Back to Black” flip, with both artists on the Prehistoric Stage during Tape B’s set. Check out a clip from the set below!
If you weren’t able to catch “Back to Black” at Lost Lands this year, don’t worry – Tape B isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Having recently announced Phase 2 of “The Soundtrack to Everything” tour, he has shows planned through December 19, with stops in Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, New York, California, and more. This insane run of shows will feature support from Cool Customer, know good, MPH, Saka B2B Fly, PHRVA, STVSH, Super Future, Ashez, cozykev, and RSUN. See where Tape B is headed next in the image below, and follow his socials to stay updated on new music and show announcements!
This past weekend, John Summit brought his first-ever Experts Only Festival to New York City, taking over Randall’s Island for two days of house and techno. With more than 50,000 fans in attendance, the festival marked one of the biggest electronic events in NYC this year and gave Summit a chance to showcase his vision for a curated, fan-first experience.

The layout and atmosphere stood out just as much as the music. After a long hiatus from major festivals at Randall’s Island, it felt refreshing to return to the iconic setting with its skyline views and open space. The energy across the grounds was buzzing, with stages designed for both intimate grooves and massive peak-time moments.
The Co-Founders of Medium Rare shared: “With the absence of Electric Zoo, and now Brooklyn Mirage, we saw a major hole in the market for this kind of show. It’s no easy feat to produce a 50,000-person festival on an island but we’re fortunate to have done it before and have gained the trust of city officials. It’s a full circle moment for us and it’s truly incredible to see the Experts Only Fest come to life.”

On stage, the lineup delivered exactly what fans came for. John Summit closed both nights with high-energy sets that reminded people why he’s at the top of modern house music, with Sunday’s two-hour closer easily considered one of his best yet. Kaskade’s back-to-back with Cassian was another highlight, blending soaring melodies with club-ready beats that had the crowd locked in from start to finish.
Other standout performances came from Green Velvet b2b Layton Giordani, LP Giobbi, Kasablanca, and AYYBO, creating a diverse mix of styles, while keeping the house and techno heartbeat strong. Summit said in an interview on ABC, “…trying to find lesser known talent instead of just working with the names that everyone knows, I think it’s awesome to put the more undiscovered names on.” The featured artists on this lineup, top to bottom, did not disappoint.
In the end, Experts Only Festival made a powerful debut. It filled a major gap in New York’s dance music scene and reminded fans how special Randall’s Island can be for large-scale events. Between the uniquely curated lineup, the positive energy of the crowd, and Summit’s own headline performances, the weekend felt like the start of something much bigger: a new tradition in New York City’s festival calendar!
That’s a wrap, year 30 of Nocturnal Wonderland SoCal is in the books, and it was a memorable one. Ravers from all over the world came to Glen Helen Amphitheater for two days under the stars. Both days were filled with pyro, lasers, bass, dancing, and amazing vibes. The lineup was stacked from top to bottom, leaving you sad it’s over. Check out our recap below in case you missed it or want to relive the weekend.
Day One
Nocturnal started with a bang on day one. On the Mystic Wild stage, Waxtroda (Matroda b2b Wax Motif) had the crowd vibing and dancing. Later in the evening, this stage was closed out by the legendary Eric Prydz. He was rumored to have almost missed his set due to a leg injury; however, being the legend he is, Eric Prydz played sitting down with his injured leg.
Dawn Mountain was home to the bassheads all weekend. Day one was blessed by a rare Liquid Stranger set, followed by the bone-shattering drops of Wooli. Aurora Plains was headlined by Skream and MK, who had the whole crowd mesmerized with their visuals and music. After day one, I didn’t want to leave, but day two did not disappoint.
Day one kicked off the 30th anniversary in an amazing way, and day two kept that party going. The Mystic Wild stage hosted Seven Lions and Zedd. They not only had you in your feels but also kept you dancing and headbanging while fireworks were going off all around you. At the Dawn Mountain stage, Level Up threw down one of the heaviest sets of the weekend, while Sullivan King closed out the stage.
San Pancho had the Aurora Plains stage so packed that you could barely make it from one side of the festival to the other. AC Slater b2b Tchami brought down the house with night bass that had the crowd dancing out of the exits. No matter where you looked or went, there was amazing music and great places to vibe out.
Atmosphere
Nocturnal Wonderland at Glen Helen Amphitheater is always an amazing festival. In the canyon surrounded by mountains, there is an incredible view wherever you look. Each day, there was an stunning sunset before getting to vibe under the stars. It features various areas throughout the festival to relax, including the Rave Cave, a giant tent surrounded by lights in front of the Mystic Wild stage, and the art installations by Dawn Mountain. No matter where you went, there was great music and good vibes.
This year, each stage received some major upgrades. Mystic Wild had even more lasers than previous years, along with a slight redesign of the iconic Nocturnal Wonderland stage itself. Dawn Mountain was a totally new design this year. It had more LED screens for enhanced visuals, but here is where the pyro really shone. You could feel the fire all the way from the back of the crowd! The craziest visuals of the weekend could be found at Aurora Plains. You could stay there and look at the wild visuals for hours while dancing to house music.
Nocturnal Wonderland is a festival that ravers around the world eagerly anticipate every year. If you’re ready for next year, you’re in luck! Tickets for 2026 are currently on sale here. We look forward to seeing you under the stars next year!
