RISE Competition is celebrating its tenth anniversary, but it surely’s by no means seemed like this.

Returning to Nevada’s Jean Dry Lake Mattress, positioned about 20 miles southwest of Las Vegas, from October 3-5, the nonprofit occasion will fuse its ethos of transformative artwork with the sounds of famed dance headliners RÜFÜS DU SOL, Calvin Harris, and Disclosure, and prolific singer-songwriter John Mayer, supported by an eclectic forged of different main musicians whose performances conjure up equally cinematic feels.
Different hotly tipped performances will come from deep home abilities Ben Böhmer, LP Giobbi, Oliver Heldens, Elderbrook, Emmit Fenn, and Coco & Breezy, alongside jam rock sensations Goose, and indie trailblazers like Forester, Patrick Watson, and Metropolis of the Solar, amongst others. Take a look at the total lineup under.
Matching the second with a first-of-its-kind competition stage, RISE’s musical performances can be held on “the Horizon,” a brand new panoramic stage stretching greater than 200 ft extensive. Outfitted with 18 separate hi-res screens and anchored by 12 stadium towers, the stage is designed to carry 1000’s whereas preserving the great thing about the encircling desert, in response to a press launch.
However earlier than the celebration begins, RISE invitations friends on a three-part journey via three major competition areas, every designed to amaze and uplift another way. Attendees are first welcomed to wander “the Path,” described as a meditative daytime journey via large-scale artwork installations and chill areas, whereas at dusk, they’ll then collect at “the Compass” for a second of collective launch through the well-known sky lantern ritual.
