Desert Hearts Festival is just under a week away so we’ve gathered all the essential info you need to know before setting out to Lake Perris.

After a two-year hiatus, those seeking a dose of house, techno, and love will finally be coming home to Desert Hearts Festival. The festival is celebrating its ten-year anniversary and for the first time is at a completely new venue at Lake Perris. While the venue might be new, Desert Hearts’ deep commitment to their community, traditions, and the music itself haven’t changed. There are plans for even more in store for those attending this year, and they announced that there will be two stages, Desert and Heart, which are set to play at opposing times to keep the “one-stage, one-vibe” mentality.

The lineup itself is teeming with talent with artists ranging from Carl Craig and Rinzen to Latmun and DJ Heather set to play, along with a number of rising stars including Memo Rex, Life On Planets, and more. Further, the Desert Hearts Family Set will once again close out the weekend in style, so make sure you stay until the final beat drops on Monday.
