Rise Festival Will Release Its Lanterns In The Mojave

Next weekend, the sky above the Mojave Desert will light up for the 10th edition of Rise Festival. The event takes place on the Jean Dry Lake Bed in the outskirts of Vegas. It once again becomes the largest sky lantern release in the World. Enjoy breathtaking art and music for the most ambitious iteration of the event thus far.

Lineup

Nothing short of spectacular, the multi-genre event will host headliners such as GRAMMY-winning Calvin Harris, RÜFÜS DU SOL, and GRAMMY-nominated Disclosure. In addition, the festival will provide multiple stages for support acts. These artists include LP Giobbi, Emmit Fenn, Oliver Heldens, RY XO, Rivo, and Coco & Breezy. Enjoy the sweetest tunes of ambient, progressive, indie, and instrumental across two stages and a meditation zone.

Sunday’s closing night promises to be unforgettable, with a rare performance by John Mayer, genre-blending favorites like Goose and Elderbrook, and ethereal sets from Patrick Watson, Forester, and City of the Sun. It’s the perfect culmination of a weekend that longs for connection and creativity.

Layout and Lantern Ceremony

Twice a night, attendees will release lanterns into the sky, with their dreams and hopes written in them. For a decade, the festival has provided the awe-inducing community-oriented ceremony. Moreover, the festival offers three major spaces dedicated to the arts, music and meditation.
