This year’s lineup for the gathering brings together a variety of festival favorites, especially within the transformational festival circuit. Iconic tribal trap producer CloZee will headline the festival. Bay Area producer Thriftworks will bring chill electronic beats to the stage. Luminaries are a conscious rap group that brings skilled rhymes to all of their performances, with an uplifting message. There are many more artists worth checking out, so make sure the scour that lineup!

The most striking thing about this lineup is possibly the plethora of female musicians and producers. Luxora Major, CloZee, ill-esha, Applecat are all astonishingly talented electronic producers. Butterscotch is the world’s first female beatboxing champion. To put the icing on the cake, there will be a curated Metasonic Studio program with a “Femtastic Forum: All-Female Artist Q&A feat/ ill-esha Applecat & more”. To further highlight feminine artistry in the music industry, there will be an Amplify Her screening on Friday night.

To match with the gathering’s plethora of Permaculture workshops, The Polish Ambassador will be headlining the festival. Permaculture is a method of design that helps bring healing and regeneration to the planet and its people–definitely worth getting excited about.

The festival will also feature saQi and Ultimate Fantastic, who are artists from The Polish Ambassador’s repertoire, Jumpsuit Records.
