Moonrise Festival is back and stacked better than ever. This year is already looking incredible with some of the most preeminent acts in the dance music scene today. The lineup is towering and it's only Phase 1. Bassnectar is headlining the first day and Above & Beyond the second at Pimlico Race Course. You can just imagine what's in store on August 8th and 9th. Waves of bass filled-elation will be radiating from Baltimore, MD that weekend.

Big Gigantic, Datsik, Dillon Francis, Die Antwoord, The Glitch Mob, Porter Robinson, Zeds Dead. The list literally goes on and on. As I write this, I'm laughing out loud at how ridiculous this line up is. Brillz, Cash Cash, Doctor P, EOTO, Infected Mushroom, Savoy, Ty Dolla Sign, What So Not, Yellow Claw and Zomboy. Oh, I'm not done yet. There is still another tier; AC Slater, Break Science, Dirtyphonics, The Floozies, Funtcase & Cookie Monsta, LAXX, Ookay, Slander, and Snails.

This line up is batshit insane; it's absurd. This is the first phase and I already want to see everyone on the list. There is so much talent and so many powerhouses that it's going to be hard to pass this one up. So do yourselves a favor and get tickets fast, they are moving quickly. You don't want to be caught with some serious FOMO.
