Tiësto, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Bryan Kearney, Gareth Emery, Astrix, Billy Gillies, ilan Bluestone, and more are set to play the 10th anniversary of Dreamstate SoCal!
Dreamstate SoCal has been a fixture in the trance scene since its first edition in 2015. While the brand has continued to expand with domestic and international editions, the past decade has seen trance family members from all over the world make their annual pilgrimage to Southern California to get their fix and reconnect with one another. November 21-22 is when Dreamstate SoCal returns to the Queen Mary Waterfront for its 10-year anniversary edition, and it’s shaping up to be one of the best yet.
The past week has seen the Dreamstate team drop lineup announcements to tease trance family members with the soundscapes that will be in store for them, and the final announcement arrived today. Legendary artist Tiësto will take the stage for the first time at Dreamstate SoCal, performing a full-on trance set curated specifically for the festival. This rides the wave of excitement many have had for the beloved DJ’s return to the genre that made him famous decades ago, especially after his monumental In Search Of Sunrise closing set at EDC Las Vegas this past May.
While Tiesto capped off the announcements, the past few days have surfaced some fantastic acts that will also turn heads. Some of the finest artists in the trance scene like Giuseppe Ottaviani, Ferry Corsten, John O’Callaghan, Mark Sherry, Bryan Kearney, John 00 Fleming, ilan Bluestone, and Will Atkinson stick out immediately.
Standout experiences will include Factor B and Lostly’s Lost Minds, Ben Nicky’s Emotional Havoc, Gareth Emery’s Cyberpunk, Paul Van Dyk + Aly & Fila, and two classics-fueled sets from Chicane and Jeffrey Sutorius. Those looking for a touch of psytrance are in for a treat as well with Astrix, Freedom Fighters, Vini Vici, Coexist, Mad Maxx, and Giorgia Angiuli slated to play. Meanwhile, others, such as Trance Wax, Miss Monique, Kristina Sky, Cold Blue, Amy Wiles, and Shingo Nakamura, are also set to add their diverse styles into the mix.
Beyond the sounds of trance, Dreamstate SoCal will also offer a dose of progressive house and techno. Artists like Argy, Cristoph + Innellea, Sarah De Warren, Space 92, Lilly Palmer, Maddix, Victor Ruiz, and Eli & Fur shouldn’t be missed.
