Returning to the lush redwood forests of the Mendocino/Humboldt county line in northern California is the third incarnation of the nonstop party known as Northern Nights Music Festival!

From July 17-19 this summer, Cook's Valley Campground in Piercy, CA will transform in a bastion of music, art, yoga, and sustainability, as festival fans flock to see the wild lineup assembled by the organizers of the hip little NorCal event. Gold Panda has been locked in as a headliner, alongside rapid-rising superstars Slow Magic and Lane 8, and one of our favorite bass gods, G Jones. The other "gold" on the lineup comes from South Africa's finest export, GoldFish, and skyrocketing rapper GoldLink.

GA tickets are only $169, with VIP passes coming in at $279. You can also lock up your camping situation at northernnights.org.

This is just the first phase of the lineup, so keep it locked.
