The event offers 76+ hours of music, art installations, comedy shows, fire performances, workshops, and yoga sessions. A new “young DJ” stage debuts on October 13th, showcasing emerging talent. This edition marks a triumphant return after preserving the festival’s unique identity through legal challenges.
Mikey Made, founder of Off The Grid Campout, shares his passion: “Off The Grid Campout is a passion project and booking headlining talent is one of my favorite parts. I choose artists whose music I love, making it extra special to have them perform at OTG!”
Robot Sunrise enthuses, “Off the Grid Campout always brings the best vibes — the community truly comes together for one of the last big hangs of the year. One of the things I love most about OTG is that everyone has access to everything, so everyone feels like they’re a VIP… and you know I’m beyond hyped to be performing a live hybrid set on the Xuza art car Techno Stage Saturday night. Let’s goooo!”
DJ Reza reflects, “Off The Grid preserves the best elements and foundation of the scene, with Mikey and his team pouring their hearts into every detail. They ensure the festival remains authentic, special, and brimming with incredible music and art.”
Donald Glaude expresses his anticipation: “OTG is a one-of-a-kind Raw Cut Gem, and I can’t wait to play DnB there for the first time…”
Thee-O draws parallels to iconic events: “I really admire what True Events, Mikey Made and Off The Grid are doing. Watching the growth of OTG year over year is very reminiscent of Insomniac events back in the early days. You can see the amount of love and care that Mikey puts into his events and that hard work is paying off. I am proud to be a part of this event and the community.”
Anton Tumas shares his perspective: “As someone who’s been playing and producing underground dance music events for over 15 years, it’s a pleasure to share my music with like-minded people in an outdoor setting. Having played countless sets under the full moon and in various deserts, it’s a unique vibe, and one I’m very familiar with. I always look forward to opportunities to take everyone on a journey, and Off The Grid provides a perfect platform for this to take place.”
Off The Grid Campout is set for October 10–14, 2024 at Sirius Ranch in Apple Valley, California. Grab your tickets here.
