Racing towards its 10th anniversary, SONIC BLOOM today adds a bevy of acts with its massive Phase 2 lineup that adds seminal dubstep act Caspa to its bill, as well as electro-soul prodigy Manic Focus. Wildly popular producers Nominus, SaQi, and Adham Shaikh join the Bloom roster, as do Colorado faves Yamn and The Malah.

Perennial favorite LYNX makes a return, and Lowtemp one-man-band GiBBZ joins the party, as well. One of our absolute breakout stars this year Filibusta gets in the mix, as does Thievery Corp's Rob Garza and ill-esha.

These new acts join livetronica legends STS9 (who will be performing two sets), Simon Posford performing a Shpongle DJ Set, Emancipator, Kalya Scintilla & Eve Olution, Desert Dwellers, Thriftworks, Random Rab, Bluetech, Phutureprimitive, VibeSquaD, Janover & reSunator, Andreilien, Russ Liquid, Kaminanda, and festival hosts, ZILLA, among many others.
