Elements Reveals Phase 2 Lineup

by Sam Wolloch Apr 18, 2024

After an awesome event in 2023, Elements Music & Arts Festival is gearing up for another great year in 2024 with its recent Phase 2 lineup reveal. Elements returns to its environmentally friendly new home in Long Pond, PA from August 9 – 11, 2024 for its seventh edition.

Three notable b2bs highlight Phase 2: Chris Lorenzo and AC Slater as Fly With Us; house music stalwarts Green Velvet and Patrick Topping; and Odd Mob and OMNOM present HYPERBEAM. Other notable additions include the legendary hometown jam band The Disco Biscuits, two sets from dubstep darling Subtronics, live electronic duo Kasablanca, hard techno selector Sara Landry, and more. Scroll to the bottom for the full list of the Phase 2 reveal or check the updated festival poster for the names shaded in green.

Elements Co-Founder Timothy Monkiewicz says, “We tried to go out of the box and worked hard to bring fans some fresh house & techno artists as well as some rare b2b sets for phase two. We are excited to add your most requested Jam band and Pennsylvania royalty, The Disco Biscuits! This well-rounded lineup gives something for everyone and we can’t wait for you all to enjoy it.“

In addition to all the amazing artists on the lineup, festivalgoers can also enjoy myriad attractions and activations on site. Rows of Vibe Villages bring the campsite to life with themed camps created by Elements attendees. Other features include interactive performances, large-scale art installations, and a wellness lineup with yoga, aromatherapy, sound baths, dance, and multidisciplinary workshops.

Another key facet of the festival’s community-driven ethos is the yearly Art of Change program. The 2023 edition focused on the LGBTQIA+ community, providing workshops on queer history, sexual orientation, and the essence of drag, while celebrating with a pride parade. More details and applications for The Art of Change program will be shared closer to the festival, while applications for Art & Visual Artists, Performers, and more are available now.

Imagine Music Festival Is Better Than Ever for 2023

by Sam Wolloch Aug 25, 2023

Imagine Music Festival is now less than three weeks away, running from September 14 – 17, and it is looking better than ever before. In its second year at the family-owned, 5000+ acre property Kingston Downs in Georgia, the team at Imagine has put together the Southeast United States’ most immersive electronic festival. In addition to a stacked lineup with a range of talent, Imagine will also feature unique art installations, meaningful wellness programming, and some of the country’s most scenic camping spaces along the Etowah River.

Highlighting Imagine’s outstanding artist lineup are some iconic back-to-back sets from EDM’s top trendsetters. The festival will showcase the world premiere of Subtronics B2B Ganja White Night and Dillon Francis B2B Knock2, as well as the reuniting of NGHTMRE B2B Diesel and Dab The Sky, a collaboration of Dabin and Said the Sky. There will also be appearances from a slew of label bosses like Black Book Records’ Chris Lake, HypnoVizion’s Rezz, Off the Grid’s John Summit, and Gud Vibration’s Slander, who will play a second techno-inspired set as its Before Dawn project. Check out the festival flyer to see the impressive full lineup, including a Thursday pre-party hosted by Brownies & Lemonade with ISOxo presenting one of his first-ever performances of his debut album KidsGoneMad!

“Imagine Festival was founded with a simple but powerful belief – that through the transformative power of music, art, and community, we can ignite the imagination and inspire positive change in the world where our dreams become a reality,” shared Imagine co-founder Madeleine Goodhand. “It’s a celebration of creativity, diversity, and possibility, and I am constantly in awe of the incredible energy and passion that our attendees bring to the event. Together, we are building a vibrant community, one beat, one brushstroke, and one moment at a time.”

To accomplish the belief of its founder, the team at Imagine has planned numerous immersive activities to complement the electronic musicians, including workshops focused on topics like yoga, flow arts, meditation, consciousness, mindfulness, art, and more. The event will also feature visionary artists creating artwork on-site, performance artists doing cirque-style acts, and some of the best festival food from local establishments and renowned national vendors. Another unique aspect of Imagine is the daytime pool parties over the weekend. Saturday’s pool party will enjoy sets from Dombresky’s Disco Dom project and Never Dull, and Sunday’s will have heavier bass sets from Kai Wachi and Ruvlo.

For those looking for a top-shelf festival experience, look no further than the VIP and PLATINUM ticket options. VIP tickets include expedited entry, premium restrooms, shaded VIP areas, exclusive vendors, and VIP areas such as the Oceania VIP Club, Mermaid Lounge, VIP Pool Access, and more. The PLATINUM ticket includes everything VIP and the added perk of unlimited access to the Platinum Viewing Deck featuring an open bar and complimentary hors d’oeuvres all weekend long.

Of course, there are still GA tickets available and a plethora of camping options too. But if you want to snag a ticket, whether it’s a single-day pass or the full three days, do it today, Friday, August 25, because ticket prices will go up at midnight! For those still on the fence, just check out the official after movie from last year’s Imagine Music Festival. Hopefully, Moon Lvnding will be seeing you out at Kingston Downs this September 14 – 17 for the Southeast’s most immersive electronic music festival.

Elements Making Strides For Sustainability

by Sam Wolloch Jul 21, 2023

Back for its 6th year, Elements Music and Arts Festival is preparing for its biggest and best year yet at its new home in Long Pond, PA from Thursday, August 10 through Monday, August 14. The lineup is packed with legendary artists – Skrillex, Chris Lake, Porter Robinson, Rezz, and STS9 just to name a few – and we’ve already dropped our preview for the Northeast’s premier camping festival. More than just the music though, it is an escape into an immersive camping experience for so many in East Coast metropolises such as New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Boston.

Sustainability and environmental impact are key issues for festival organizers and our community, which Moon Lvnding highlighted a few weeks ago, and Elements is doing its part to make a difference. Take, for example, the new venue site in Long Pong, adjacent to the Pocono Raceway. The venue will be completely powered by an onsite solar farm, meaning the festival will be using clean, renewable energy. Powered by nearly 40,000 American-made panels over 25 acres, the 3MW Pocono Solar Project has been up and running since 2010!

Then consider all that delicious healthy, organic food on offer from assorted vendors and the 24-hour food court. Much of the organic produce used for the event is grown right next door at Pocono Organics, one of North America’s largest regenerative organic certified farms. So instead of the food traveling countless hours in transportation burning fuel, the festivalgoers of Elements will be able to enjoy farm-fresh, organic food harvested close by.

Don’t forget the transportation incentives and benefits provided by Elements. Did you know Elements offers a discount program for hybrid and electronic vehicles? Offering 30% off hybrids and 50% off EVs, the owner just needs to email Elements with a picture of their registration to get the discount code for the car pass. For people flying into NYC’s two biggest airports, JFK and Newark, or those who prefer to bus down from the city, there are shuttles scheduled from Newark Airport and Midtown Manhattan on Thursday and Friday, plus the return trip on Monday.

Elements brings the sustainability vibes full circle by curating a well-rounded selection of presenters and artists to share knowledge, skills, and classes on a wide variety of topics. Education is another great way the festival is able to share its ethos and allow attendees to take some lessons with them to their daily lives.

Finally, something I’m most excited to see is the execution of the Vibe Villages, Elements’ progressive concept for planning group camping. By working with the group camp leaders to get the vibes right, each group can plan artistic and expressive home settings for their spaces to bring the festival to the campsites as well. There are even three different themes Villages for group camping:

  • Fire Village – for the truly shared interactive experience like sound camps and art/gift camps.
  • Water Village – for groups looking to express themed costumes, decorations, and performances.
  • Air Village – for the go-with-the-flow homies to set up about 10 minutes from the festival gate.

The hands-on, progressive leadership of Elements has continually improved upon its initial vision from 10 years ago and it is encouraging to see an independent festival organizer prioritize environmentally friendly ways to strive towards sustainability. Limited festival and camping passes remain with only three weeks until the event, so the time is now to plan your escape to Elements Music and Arts Festival.

Elements Is The Premier Northeast Festival

by Sam Wolloch Jul 12, 2023

It is less than a month away from the start of the Northeast United States’ best festival – Elements Music and Arts Festival. Taking place in Long Pond, PA from August 11 – 14, 2023, and utilizing its largest layout ever, the 2023 event promises to be bigger and better than before. With over 100 acts across 10 different stages, immersive art production, and engaging health and wellness programming, there is truly something for everyone at this festival.

The four main stages of Elements are named after the four main elements:

  • FIRE – a flaming stage with high-energy tunes of dirty bass and funky rhythms.
    Past artists include GRiZ, Diplo, Zeds Dead, Sofi Tukker.
  • EARTH – a psychedelic paradise featuring bass, jam, and experimental music.
    Past artists include Rezz, Liquid Stranger, Clozee, Rusko
  • AIR – a mystical temple that refreshes the soul with techno, house, and afrobeat sounds.
    Past artists include Nicole Moudaber, Jamie Jones, Bob Moses, Maceo Plex
  • WATER – a sunshine playground to play along with disco, house, and funk music.
    Past artists include Claude Vonstroke, LP Giobbi, Gene Farris, The Sponges

The 2023 Elements lineup is right up there with the best events in the world, featuring some of the top talent in the industry. EDM legend Skrillex takes the festival stage as one of the event’s largest draws. Other notable top-tier artists include a Thursday pre-party set from Seven Lions, a sunset set from Lane 8, and appearances from the young guns of house and dubstep, John Summit and Subtronics.

There will also be stage takeovers by Chris Lake’s Black Book Records, Seven Lions’ Ophelia Records, and Femme House from co-founders LP Giobbi and Hermixalot. Especially noteworthy is special guest LSDREAM, who will share his Lightcode production which is a mindful and meaningful experience not to be missed.

In addition to the monster lineup scheduled to provide the musical backdrop to a magical weekend, there will be plentiful art installations and talented performers to behold, adding to the ambiance of the event. There will also be three full days of health and wellness programming including yoga, dance, comedy, and workshops to allow attendees the opportunity to expand their knowledge and grow into the best version of themselves.

And of course, what festival would be complete without a 24-hour food court that offers vegan and gluten-free options as well as bars, smoothie stands, and water stations? On top of all that, there is also a vendor village that offers craft goods, creative art, unique jewelry, and festival essentials plus the Elements merch tent with exclusive 2023 festival swag.

Tickets are still available, so what are you waiting for? The festival is easily accessible from major urban centers like New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington D.C. For out-of-towners, it is only 100 miles from major airports in Newark, NJ (EWR) and Philly, PA (PHL) or 125 miles from New York City’s JFK. So whether you want a car camping experience, an upscale glamping setup, or off-site hotel accommodations, there is a package to fit everyone’s desire to attend Elements Music and Arts Festival. I hope to see you there!
