For the past several years, a singular gathering in the lush forests of California hearkened to many a hippie, hipster, and everyone between for a weekend long love fest of peace, harmony, unity—oh yeah, and some kickin' jams!

From June 9-11, the Enchanted Forest Gathering returns to Black Oak Ranch in Laytonville, California for a big blowout featuring some of our favorite artists.

The big news on everyone's mind is Tipper's only California performance of the entire year. Fans were shocked to learn he won't be on the Global Eclipse Gathering lineup, but if you're itchin' to see Dave Tipper this year, Enchanted is the place to see him.

Fans of Kalya Scintilla & Eve Olution, The Polish Ambassador, The Floozies, SunSquabi and more are thrilled to see such diversity on this lineup. Hip acts like Tokimonsta, The Funk Hunters, and Soohan are making the trip to Mendo, and this festival marks the return of Whitebear to not only the United States but northern California, where the Aussie glitch-hop and tribal trance act is beloved.

Tickets are on-sale now at enchantedforestmendo.com and all sorts of cool tips, galleries, and links can be found on the website. We'll see you in the Forest!
