Set to take place at a luxurious private estate in Indio, the event will showcase performances by a select group of electronic artists, including popular duo Louis The Child, British sensation Jonas Blue, and emerging dance star Arlo.
Louis The Child plans to incorporate their classic hits “It’s Strange” and “Better Not,” along with new, unreleased music, as they prepare to drop their second studio album later this year. Jonas Blue will perform a set featuring his signature groovy house tracks, including the 2025 hit “Edge of Desire.” Additional artists are expected to be announced soon.
Attendees can look forward to complimentary drinks and a custom menu curated from Jimmy John’s Dream Rotation menu. Additionally, the renowned supper club Mary Lou’s will provide various VIP experiences.
