House, techno, and love will be flowing through the Arizona desert this summer when Desert Hearts Festival returns to Playa Ponderosa on July 3-7.
For over a decade, Desert Hearts Festival has been at the forefront of the boutique festival scene. Known for non-stop music, out-of-this-world art, and vibes you really can’t find anywhere else, it quickly became a home for many in the community. While most of Desert Hearts Festival’s history was centered in Southern California, it shifted to Playa Ponderosa in Flagstaff, Arizona last year, and in 2025 they’re running it back.
Desert Hearts Festival will make its way back to Playa Ponderosa on July 3-7 for another fantastic experience that’s sure to be filled with quality performances, mind-melting production, and plenty of new friends who will welcome you with open arms. Curated by the Desert Hearts crew (Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Marbs, and Porky), and powered by beloved collective Walter Productions, this experience is one that any house and techno lover should attend if they want to experience something special that’s off the beaten path.
Last year’s festival was the best we’ve ever thrown, and we’re ready to bring the magic back to the Arizona mountains. Partnering again with our friends at Walter Productions, we’re creating an immersive experience with one stage, one vibe, and 72 hours of nonstop House & Techno. Together, we’ll dive off the deep end into a world of self-expression, love, and connection, guided by the music that unites us. Whether you’re a Desert Hearts OG or a first-timer, 2025 will be one for the books!
