Project GLOW Festival is set to kick off in just a few days, so get prepared for the weekend ahead with all the essential information.
After a highly anticipated season of festivals making their huge returns, Insomniac Events‘ brand new Project GLOW Festival, in partnership with Club Glow, is making its debut in Washington D.C. at the RFK Festival Grounds. While Project GLOW is a new festival, Insomniac fans will still see familiar landmarks at the event, including the Boombox Art Car, where rising and local DJs will play, along with an updated Electra art installation.
With this year marking the massive premiere of the festival, the lineup reflects the occasion, with artists like Above & Beyond, Martin Garrix, Meduza, Seven Lions, Walker & Royce, and plenty more gracing the stages. Whether it’s the heart-racing, alluring beats or house or the mosh-pit-worthy bangs of bass, the lineup has plenty of options for fans of any genre. Topping off the experience, Diplo’s Higher Ground and Insomniac’s own Insomniac Records will be taking over the Pulse Stage, while the Eternal Stage will see a number of DJs coming through with their own heat.
To prepare for the weekend ahead, we’ve also curated all of the essential information you’ll need to know for the festival, including the set times, maps, and more. Get into the mood with our very own curated playlist and check out some of our most highly anticipated sets of the weekend – and don’t forget to download the Insomniac app via iTunes or Play Store for the latest updates.
