Desert Hearts Festival Moves to Arizona for 2024 Edition

Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Marbs, and Porky are taking Desert Hearts Festival to Playa Ponderosa in Arizona for its upcoming edition on July 4-8.

One boutique festival that’s taken the house and techno scene by storm over the past decade has come from the motley crew known as Desert Hearts. While their performances around the world have helped spread their mission of delivering a dose of house, techno, and love, it’s their annual Desert Hearts Festival that has captivated thousands. While last year saw a bit of a bump in the road, with the festival shifting to Los Angeles and camping being put on pause, they’re gearing up for a massive return back to their original form in 2024 with today’s announcement.

Just hours ago, Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Marbs, and Porky announced that Desert Hearts Festival will be coming back in full force on July 4-8 at its new home, Playa Ponderosa. This lush private venue that’s just outside Flagstaff, Arizona, will allow for the free-spirited ethos and renegade origins of Desert Hearts to reign supreme once again, with non-stop house and techno pumping through the festival’s sound system all weekend long.

Desert Hearts Festival’s foundational “one stage, one vibe” format will return, but that’s not all that they have in store as this move sees them team up with their “twin flame,” Walter Productions, to bring this to life. These two have fostered a relationship for years after throwing parties together, making this a match made in heaven. Additionally, the venue itself will feature an interconnected arena of theme camps, artists, art installations, and more for attendees to explore. Those attending can expect an even more immersive weekend than ever before, with the famed art car collective turned local community behemoth powering the festival.

The theme of this festival is reconnecting with our roots and embracing the essence of what made Desert Hearts so special during our time at the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation from 2014 to 2019. This means an intimate and free environment with One Stage, One Vibe playing the full spectrum of House & Techno music nonstop all weekend… We can’t wait to create unforgettable memories under the starry sky as we dance, connect, and celebrate the spirit of freedom, love, unity, and endless possibility! House, Techno, & Love… We Are All Desert Hearts.
