Desert Hearts just announced the dates and venue of its famed boutique house and techno festival experience. In fact, the event will take place July 4-8 at Playa Ponderosa – a remarkable private property located just outside Flagstaff, Arizona in the natural splendor of Coconino National Forest. Returning to its roots, Desert Hearts Festival will rekindle the magic and freedom felt at its earlier Southern California installments in partnership with the celebrated Phoenix-based event outfit, Walter Productions.
Desert Hearts is the festival, globally touring DJ crew, record label and creative community that grew from humble roots in the Mojave desert to one of the electronic music landscape’s most recognizable brands over the last twelve years. Helmed by four best friends – Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Marbs and Porky – Desert Hearts has become synonymous with a free spirited DIY ethos, offering a welcomed alternative to the commercially dominated North American events landscape.
The Desert Hearts community has long beckoned for the festival to return to the original renegade atmosphere felt at its prodigal home of Los Coyotes Indian Reservation. By partnering with Walter Productions and moving to Playa Ponderosa, the event will be able to regain its around-the-clock music programming, move back to its foundational ‘one-stage, one-vibe’ format, and showcase its unique festival layout: an interconnected arena of theme camps, live painters, installations, and art cars that border the entire dance floor – with the added ambiance of the majestic Ponderosa Pines and spectacular views of Flagstaff’s San Francisco Peaks.
Tickets will go on sale February 16 at 1PM PST / 2PM MST. For more information on Desert Hearts Festival, please visit the official website.
