Heard It Here First

Elements Festival has become a mainstay of the East Coast festival world. We covered the fest back in 2022, and it has continued to grow year after year. We had an amazing experience, catching sets from Liquid Stranger, Troyboi, and dozens more, as well as having the chance to sit down with Sunsquabi for an interview.

The Long Pond, Pennsylvania weekend getaway boasts an amazing mix of genres all over the electronic music spectrum, working with huge electronic music goliaths in the past, ranging from Excision to  John Summit to Subtronics to STS9 to GRiZ. Today, they just dropped their 2025 lineup and it is absolutely STACKED to the top with talent. This is looking to be one of, if not the best, lineup Elements Festival has had yet, going down this year from August 8th to August 10th.

The Headliners

On top-billed headlining duties are Tipper, Illenium, Zeds Dead, Deadmau5, Sofi Tukker, REZZ, Sara Landry, and Mau P. On the second tier are Chase & Status, Liquid Stranger, Sullivan King b2b Kayzo, DJ Diesel, Eli Brown, Wooli and the return of Claude Von Stroke. After a couple years performing under his bass music alias Barclay Crenshaw, he is going back to his House music roots with news of a CVS set at Elements.

You also cannot miss the first-ever Tape B b2b Levity set! Those two acts have absolutely exploded over the past year or two, and we are so, so amped to see them both billed so high on a lineup! Both Tape B and Levity have been huge supporters of HIHF over the years and contributed some of our first guest mixes when we started as an electronic new outlet back in 2018. They’ve only got huge things on the horizon, so lock-in.

We haven’t even gotten to the undercard yet, and this lineup is already rocking with some of the hugest names in House, Techno, Midtempo, Drum & Bass, and Dubstep…

The Undercard

Let’s go ahead and break down the undercard. We’ve got ALLEYCVT who has been appearing everywhere, fresh off of her Feel It tour. Her fanbase is rapidly growing with each original single she unleashes, and her absolute fire artillery of a discography is only expanding month by month. You won’t want to miss this set.

Sunsquabi is a three-piece jamtronica band that brilliantly fuses tasty guitar licks and live drums with masterful synth work. Well-known for their work in the Denver music scene as well as collaborations with GRiZ, Dominic Lalli of Big Gigantic, and renowned turntablist Chris Karns of Pretty Lights Live, we had a blast at their Elements set a few years back, and they’ve only grown in talent since then.

Then we’ve got two sets from Atlanta Hip-Hop and Bass maestro Daily Bread. If you can’t make the first of his two performances due to a conflict, just don’t miss the other… you won’t want to have FOMO for the non-stop energy that his sets always bring to the table each and every time.

Eater is a trap and bass artist you will definitely want to keep your eye on. The French producer has gained huge cosigns from the likes of Zeds Dead, Tape B, and Ganja White Night‘s Subcarbon Records. We hosted him for a HIHF guest mix about a year back, you can check that out here to prepare for his performance at Elements 2025.

Two of the hottest acts on the come up in heavy dubstep are LAYZ and Cyclops. LAYZ has become well-known for her neck-breaking performances, both as LAYZ and her Bass House moniker Sabritaz. Cyclops, also known as one of the goofiest follows on social media, has had many tracks go viral in the festival world, including notable tracks “Tear Jerker” and his Wooli collab “Floot Loops.”

Last but certainly not least is AHEE. Known as one of the best online dubstep production teachers all across the world wide web, AHEE is an absolute master of his craft. This alien-loving production madman has been dominating the scene, as he just came off huge collabs with Big Gigantic, SoDown, ProbCause and had viral festival anthems like “The Action” and “Brain Tickler.” He also just announced his nationwide 30+ stop Wubcraft tour! Another set at Elements 2025 that fans of melodic, wonky dubstep will NOT want to miss.

That’s not to mention dozens of other acts we haven’t even dove into! You’re just going to have to experience the magic of Elements festival for yourself live and in person, and it’s not just music that’s so encapsulating.

Art Installations

Featuring four stages that act as towering installations themselves, Elements fest flaunts unique stage designs that hone the power of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. Across the festival, attendees can get lost in the maze of entrancing and engaging art exhibits. They can explore Burning Man-esque art cars that move throughout the festival, interactive performances, massive large-scale installations, guest-created themed camps, a 3D video projection mapping, and a cavalcade of wellness activities. There is absolutely no shortage of activities at Elements, so make sure you plan wisely!

Music & art aren’t the only way to open your mind at a festival. Elements’ Health & Wellness lineup offers yoga, sound baths, aromatherapy, dance, comedy, and many other workshops designed to help attendees practice keeping a healthy body, mind, and soul.

Here’s what the festival’s co-founder, Brett Herman, had to say about Elements:

“At Elements you’re living on a different planet for 3-4 days. There’s so much to experience beyond the music, there’s always something happening in the Bizarre, Fun Factory, Plaza, Wellnest, and countless other places in the festival grounds… Just moving from place to place you’re guaranteed to strike sparks, start a side quest, and find like-minded vibes.” -Brett Herman
