Dirtybird CampInn is Gonna Be Lit
Dirtybird CampINN is Back and Better Than Ever!
- Press Release by Xander Beaumont
After two years away from the scene, Dirtybird is back this year with their Dirtybird CampINN, and they are bringing things to a new resort venue in Orlando! This upcoming Labor Day Weekend (Fri, Aug 29th – Tue, Sep 2nd), Dirtybird partners with Home Bass to host the CampINN at the DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando.
To add to the excitement of this year’s event, there will be three separate stage takeovers from exceptional collectives including Defected Records, Desert Hearts, and FriendShip. Defected Records brings their UK House energy across the pond to Florida, while the Desert Hearts team of Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, and Marbs bring their talents from the West Coast. Meanwhile, Gary Richards (Destructo) will be bringing their cruise to the mainland for their own ShipFam takeover.
This festival will also feature a lot of Dirtybird staples like Justin Martin, Ardalan, Eats Everything, VNSSA, Sacha Robotti, Christian Martin and Shiba San. But that’s not all from the Dirtybird team, with a few European Dirtybird artists such as Riva Starr, Sirus Hood, and Solardo making appearances on the lineup. But wait, there’s more! Dirtybird is excited to also feature afew up and comers from the label like AMPRS&ND and Smalltown DJs.
In addition to this, attendees will be blessed to experience high-powered acts such as ACRAZE, Kevin Saunderson, DJ Tennis, Black V Neck, DJ Habibeats, J. Worra, DJ Holographic, Gene Farris, Stacey Pullen, Nick Curly, Tini Gessler and DJ Glen. For the bass heads out there, there will also be a lot of bass-laden sets featuring the likes of Rusko, Eprom, Freddy Todd, Champagne Drip, Nitepunk and The Glitch Mob. Beyond all these incredible names, there will also be a mix of surprise guests and takeovers from the collectives mentioned above.
Dirtybird’s label manager Deron Delgado and EMPIRE’s Head of Dance, Moody Jones, two behind-the-scenes forces who have helped shape today’s genre-fluid dance culture are also getting in on the fun.
“Dirtybird has always been about collaboration and community, and this year’s Dirtybird CampINN is about expanding the flock in every direction,” says Deron Delgado. “By working with like-minded artists, brands, and collectives — from legacy labels like Defected to grassroots movements like Desert Hearts, to festival pioneers Destructo & Friendship — we are moving away from the ‘one-way-to-do-it’ mentality. Dirtybird’s future is built on inclusivity, shared values, and pushing dance music forward together.”
However, a DirtyBird festival would not be complete without its fun and engaging activities outside of the music itself. Highlights include the “Walk The Plank” Drag Show, Water Aerobics, Glow-in-the-Dark Double Dutch, Sunset Yoga, and a colorful tie-dye station hosted by Desert Hearts. Defected Records will be hosting an on-site record store, while FriendShip will be hosting a takeover in the resort’s ballroom. There will also be a return of games like Frick Frack Blackjack and The Great Bingo Revival, which are guaranteed to keep you at the table longer than expected due to the intoxicating atmosphere of the dealers and participants.
This flagship event is also a timely honoring of DirtyBird’s 20-year milestone of its incredible brand. The new resort offers 742 rooms, multiple dining options, a heated outdoor pool, 60,000+ square feet of event space, and unbeatable proximity to Universal Studios. With exclusive hotel access reserved for Dirtybird CampINN guests, attendees will be immersed in nonstop music, color team competitions, artist-led activities, and vibrant poolside performances all weekend long.
With a fresh vision, a fresh venue, and the freshest of artists playing the venue, Dirtybird CampINN 2025 re-establishes its position as one of North America’s most unique and original boutique festivals. Grab your tickets now, get your dancing shoes ready, and we will see you in Orlando in August!
