The Beginning of Playground
Burning Man has long been a beacon of creativity and connection in the desert. One of the hearts of this vibrant culture is Playground, a space curated by Carl Cox himself and spawned from the inspired experience had after his first burn. After Carl was transformed in the desert, he made every effort to inspire others to join him each year and thus, Playground was born.
Each year, Carl Cox and his creative team strive to make Playground even better and more inclusive, embodying the spirit of Burning Man and its commitment to community and collaboration. From awe-inspiring art installations to collective beats that reverberate through the playa, Playground has become a beloved musical sanctuary for Burners from around the world.
The Playground Fundraiser
The May 11th fundraiser at the Midway promises to be unforgettable, featuring an unparalleled lineup of talent. Joining Carl Cox on stage will be some absolute legends including Nicole Moudaber, Eli Brown, Brennen Grey, and Syd Gris. The fundraiser will also feature Deep Dish, who have not performed together in San Francisco for nearly 20 years.
“We’re thrilled to host this fundraiser in support of Playground and the wonderful charities our Playground Foundation supports,” says Carl Cox.
“It’s not just about the music; it’s about building a community that gives back and where everyone feels welcome and inspired to express themselves freely. Burning Man has always been about pushing boundaries and creating transformative experiences, and Playground embodies that ethos in every beat.”
