The 2025 Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights Music Festival
in Mendocino is a collaborative event combining the strengths of both
brands, promising a unique and safe experience. Festival goers can expect
a blend of music, nature, art, and immersive activities, including games,
spelling bees, and a lap dance competition, along with Northern Nights'
signature Tree Lounge. The festival is known for its positive vibes, kind
and engaging crowd, minimal trash, and immersive art installations.
The 2025 lineup is a music lover’s dream, born from the
synergy between the Dirtybird and Northern Nights brands, seamlessly waving
together diverse electronic sounds and beyond. The lineup is led by British
soul and funk collective Jungle (DJ Set), making their highly
anticipated debut in the Redwoods with their impeccably curated DJ performance.
They’ll be joined by Zeds Dead, the visionary Deadbeats Records
duo, fresh off the release of their acclaimed LP Return to the Spectrum of
Intergalactic Happiness. The lineup also features in demand acts such as
boundary breaking UK singer-songwriter and EMPIRE label act Aluna,
groove-heavy veteran house duo Walker & Royce, and the meteoric
genre-defying trio Levity.
Dirtybird Campout devotees will flock to OG label favorites,
like the pioneering Martin Brothers Justin Martin and ChristianMartin,
rule breaking DJ and producer JustinJay, party starter Ardalan,
and trailblazing house innovator Mz Worthy. The bill also features
underground bass specialist J.Phlip, high energy
powerhouse VNSSA, dance rock vocalist and producer Nala,
four to the floor favorites Gettoblaster and Kevin
Knapp, and bass heavy genre-bender Sacha Robotti.
Both Dirtybird Campout and Northern Nights have always been
known to bring in eclectic acts spanning different electronic subgenres, with
the lineup also including turntablism legend CutChemist, old school
drum & bass icons Ed Rush & Optical, queen of Jersey
club UNIIQU3, LGBTQ+ champion Wreckno, experimental
bass producer Super Future, multi-instrumentalist and
producer KR3TURE, the trumpet playing Balkan Bump, and
multifaceted bass driven producer Mary Droppinz.
Additional highlights include Chicago stalwart Gene
Farris, fast risers Bianca Oblivion and Jackie
Hollander, the smooth styling LifeonPlanets, collaborative
duo Omicasa (Craze & Matsu), transatlantic duo Kaleida,
the funky psychedelic sonics of Shaded (live), and several others.
Northern Nights is thrilled to introduce a second River
Stage, dubbed Bird Bath Stage, which will run alongside its beloved River
Stage. If you’re not familiar, each stage will offer a distinct sonic
experience – one featuring groove-driven house vibes and the other exploring
deep, left-of-center low-end sounds – positioned on opposite sides of the
Humboldt/Mendocino County Line against the festival’s lush river backdrop.
Beautiful.
Beyond the River stages, attendees can immerse themselves at
the Main Stage, a true embodiment of Dirtybird and Northern Nights’
partnership. This amazing stage will feature marquee acts curated by both
communities. Additional stage highlights include the Grove Stage, tucked among
the Redwoods, offering diverse music programming along with daytime movement
and wellness activities, and the Late Night Bunker Stage, where music will run
deep into the night, culminating in can’t be missed sunrise sets.
Fans can look forward to even more details as the wild,
anything-goes spirit of Dirtybird Campout merges seamlessly with Northern
Nights’ laid-back wellness programming – a match made in Redwoods heaven.
Perfect for anyone just looking to unwind! Expect an outrageous lineup of
interactive games and activities, details on Northern Nights’ renowned Tree
Lounge, wellness programming at the Grove Stage, local community driven ‘Our
Friends’ stages, a vibrant silent disco, and plenty of surprises still to come.
Check all the details out here in the coming weeks.
