This month will mark the two-year anniversary of the first gathering at the Joshua Tree Music Festival. “We’ve truly missed the beautiful oasis of your smiling faces, and look forward to reconnecting and revitalizing,” said the festival’s website.

The four-day twice-a-year festival lands in the great outdoors with an intimate and up close and personal setting. Festival-goers have said that the distinction between artist and audience is often blurred, allowing for passionate, raw, and heartfelt performances.

Joshua Tree Music Festival never features familiar or household names in its lineup. Instead, they “showcase up & coming, white-hot, have-to-see-them-now-before-they-get-big type of roster,” their website stated.

This year, the festival is from October 7-10. Here’s a quick list of some names featured in this year’s lineup:

Thursday – Smoked Out Soul and Father Taj

Friday – Moontricks, Collectivity, and Honeywild

Saturday – Orgone, Mike Love, and The Dogon Lights

Sunday – Dirtwire and Gabrielle Evaro

The Joshua Tree Music Festival is located at 2601 Sunfair Rd, CA 92252.
