BURNET, TX – Award-winning global promoter Disco Donnie Presents (DDP) and experiential event company Probably Nothing are thrilled to reveal the first phase of musical talent and highlights from some of the interactive experiences for the immersive music, art and technology festival Texas Eclipse 2024. From April 5-9, up to 50K+ attendees composed of festival lovers and eclipse enthusiasts from all over the world will flock to central Texas for five days of creative expression, consciousness exploration, and cosmic curiosity for an experience millions of years in the making.
Today’s First Contact talent announcement boasts a roster of renowned artists crossing genres and borders who will perform across six distinct stages, each a vivid world of its own. Among the highlights are jam band STS9 – known for their desire to forge universal connections, transforming each performance as a transcendent celebration of humanity. Trance-fusion band Disco Biscuits, who consistently employ emerging tech into their music, will grace the festival with a fun and futuristic sound, not entirely of this earth. There’s plenty of funk to go around, from R&B soul maestros Vulfpeck, to famed funk-tronic acts such as Big Gigantic, who have rallied behind their “Better Future” ethos in pioneering a fusion of jazz, funk, and dubstep, led by a mélange of impressive instrumentation, and, of course, triumphant saxophone.
Spearheading the world music and bass movement is Clozee – who will conjure her spiritual and evolutionary sound at Texas Eclipse. Grammy-nominated artist Tycho promises to transcend the typical festival experience by seamlessly blending his captivating ambient electronic sound with his own stunning visual creations. Meanwhile, the auditory genius Tipper will bring a mesmerizing glitchy, trip-hop vibe, while Billboard-charting artist Subtronics is poised to deliver a mind-bending, all-encompassing psychedelic DJ set. Of course, it’s not a true party without the globetrotting house and techno party brigade Desert Hearts, along with femme house icon LP Giobbi – who each have ignited the likes of Burning Man with their irresistibly fun performances. For those craving a mix of vibrant bass and cutting-edge sounds, look no further mainstays such as Zeds Dead, Boogie T & Barclay Crenshaw (alias of Claude VonStroke/founder of Dirtybird).
