Come for the lanterns, and stay for the lineup.
RISE Festival, the Mojave Desert’s soul-stirring gathering of light and music, returns October 3-5 with a 10-year anniversary lineup bringing together world-class music, immersive art and an iconic sky lantern ceremony under the sky.
RISE positions itself as a “collective art project” where thousands release lanterns into the night sky, each inscribed with dreams, grief or gratitude. It’s an analog moment in a digital world, with a lineup that matches the magnitude of the world's largest sky lantern festival.
Headlining the three-day fest on Friday and Saturday are dance music superstars RÜFÜS DU SOL and Calvin Harris, respectfively. Sunday will then see guitar icon John Mayer helming the stage, underscoring RISE’s curatorial prowess of both electronic and alternative sounds.
But it’s not just the headliners that burn bright. The weekend journey into melodic depths continues with RISE's impressive undercard as Ben Böhmer, LP Giobbi, Oliver Heldens, Coco & Breezy and more round out the festivities.
This year, RISE is deepening its ritual with the debut of "The Path," a meditative entry experience designed to ground guests before the first beat lands or lantern lifts. Featuring large-scale installations from internationally acclaimed artists like HYBYCOZO, Whitaker Studio and This is Loop, the experience is described by organizers as "a spacious exploration of art and meditation on the strikingly beautiful Jean Dry Lake Bed."
Tickets to RISE Festival's 10th anniversary are on sale now. You can check out the full lineup below.
