Insomniac Drops Dreamstate SoCal Afterparty Lineup

Ferry Corsten, Adam Stark, Formula None, and Mark Sixma are among the Dreamstate SoCal Official Afterparty headliners.

Diehard trance fanatics from Southern California and beyond are counting down the days until this year’s edition of Dreamstate SoCal on the Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach on November 21-22. Insomniac — who organizes the event — has now given them further reason for excitement by releasing the lineup for the afterparty.

Falling on the same dates as the festival, the Dreamstate SoCal Official Afterparty takes place aboard the Queen Mary itself after the festival runs on its land-based facilities. Some of the biggest artists slated to perform on the vessel are Ferry Corsten, Nifra, Mark Sixma, and Gareth Emery b2b Fish56Octagon.

And a wide range of the trance spectrum will be represented on the afterparty lineup. Adam Stark will cater to fans of more progressive sounds, whereas Formula None will leverage his signature brand of psytrance for the cause. Between artists like Bakari, Factor B, Innellea, Sarah De Warren, and Will Atkinson, those lucky enough to attend will have no trouble finding exactly what they’re looking for.

The Dreamstate SoCal lineup itself left little to the imagination. Artists like Space 92, Paul Oakenfold, Vini Vici, and Trance Wax will make it a weekend to remember, with acts like Giorgia Angiuli, Eli & Fur, and Cristoph speaking to the festival’s recent inclination toward house and techno. Even Tiësto will be making an appearance once thought impossible at Dreamstate SoCal 2025 after playing a trance classics set at this year’s edition of EDC Las Vegas.

Tickets to the Dreamstate SoCal Official Afterparty go on sale tomorrow, October 9, at 12pm PT via Front Gate. Find more information on the festival’s official website.
