Headed to Elements Festival this year? Get familiar with the site maps, set times, and policies to ensure you have the best weekend in the Poconos!
The awaited return of the Northeast’s premier camping festival, Elements Music & Arts Festival, is finally here. Taking place August 9-11 at the Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, this year’s event promises a three-day escape featuring jaw-dropping music acts, immersive art experiences, and a robust health and wellness program.
This year’s lineup for Elements Festival is stacked from top to bottom with insane talent spanning multiple genres. Attendees can expect over-the-top headlining performances from Subtronics, Green Velvet b2b Patrick Topping, CloZee, Illenium, Chris Lake b2b Cloonee, Excision, and Pennsylvania natives The Disco Biscuits.
Kaskade and Matroda will usher in the evening with vibey sunset sets on the Fire Stage while Sara Landy will fuel techno lovers with a performance on the Water Stage. The undercard this year is not to be overlooked with Wreckno, Justin Martin, BOOGIE T.RIO, and AIMMIA all making appearances over the weekend.
While the music lineup is filled with incredible acts, there’s so much beyond the music to experience at Elements this year. From theme days to yoga at the Healing Garden, Elements has it all. Prepare to enter a wonderfully wacky world at the LazerPants FunBox and take a ride on the new ferris wheel for a birds-eye view of the festival. Additionally, fest-goers can fuel up with meals from a variety of regional food vendors including the beloved Broccoli Bar and Gouda Boys.
