ISOKNOCK: San Diego 4EVR Brings It Home

The boys of ISOKNOCK recently brought their high-powered collaboration project to their hometown for two epic sold-out nights in San Diego 4EVR. Those lucky enough to attend this homecoming at Snapdragon Stadium were treated to an unforgettable experience with amazing acts, production, and music.

The excitement surrounding both nights of San Diego 4EVR could be felt from the parking lot to the entrance, the energy was electric. With swarms of fans teeming to enter the grounds on day one, the festival experienced challenges that resulted in hour-long waits for some GA patrons. This was fixed on night two with increased security remedying that issue. Night one brought out big names like Peekaboo and Madeon before ISOKNOCK made their big entrance. The duo drove an old-school Honda onto the stage with Knock2 in the driver’s seat and ISOxo sitting on top. The second night featured Glaive and the OG himself, RL Grime. The event climaxed with RL Grime joining ISOKNOCK on stage in a B2B for the ages.

The production for both nights was unmatched. The stage embodied the classic ISOKNOCK 90’s grunge vibe with steel beams, bright lights, a silhouetted ISOKNOCK logo, a Batman-style ISOKNOCK spotlight, and pyrotechnics galore. ISOKNOCK had an amazing blend of music throughout each of their sets. From bass house to dubstep to trap to house. They effortlessly blended it all, leaving the crowd guessing and hyped for more.

These two nights were some of the biggest parties I’ve experienced. The crowd participation and interaction truly made you want to party nonstop and was very immersive. The stage featured a walkway to the middle of the crowd that Knock2 and ISOxo used to get the crowd into an absolute frenzy. Knock2 manned the decks while playing ISOxo’s songs so that ISOxo could interact with the crowd and vice versa. On night two, ISOKNOCK surprised everyone when they appeared atop a tower at the heart of the crowd where they played for 20 minutes before running through the audience and onto the stage. During each set, ISOxo climbed the tower and shined a spotlight into the crowd to incite massive mosh pits. There were mosh pits across all sections of the crowd, GA and VIP alike. Luckily, the pits were respectful with moshers protecting and picking up those who fell. I even saw someone holding up another’s shoe and phone to ensure they got them back.

The weekend was topped off with ISOKNOCK revealing their very own festival in 2025—NITEHARTS FEST. The duo proclaimed that they want to bring music and culture back to their hometown San Diego and this festival will be a big part of that goal.
