Join us for 4 days/nights of pure magic in Joshua Tree!

The 21st Annual Spring Joshua Tree Music Festival is happening May 18-21, 2023 and the theme is Amplify Your Love!

On the lineup: New Orleans Funk Legends Galactic, multi-instrumentalist live-production wizard Balkan Bump, Thievery Corporation founding member Rob Garza, rebel rockers The Last Internationale, roots and rock driven alternative dance trio MY BABY and many more!

Be prepared for a sonic journey each day. Joshua Tree Music Festival lineups are a diverse medley of genres and styles curated to seamlessly blend and build as the day progresses, whipping the dance floor into a frenzy by sunset. Music rotates between four stages from 10am – 2am with late night silent disco parties rocking until the wee hours on Friday & Saturday nights. PLUS we’re adding the Late Night Headphone House, aka our version of silent disco, to the mix with rocking house sets ’til the early hours on Friday and Saturday nights.

During breaks from the dance floor enjoy yoga, mindfulness, workshops, indulge in a massage, or take a stroll around the lake and the grounds to take in the art and the raw beauty of the desert landscape.

Joshua Tree Music Festival is family friendly! Camp onsite under the desert stars, or choose from hundreds of nearby local lodging options.
