GRiZ IS BACK! – Seven Stars On The Horizon
GRiZ Announces His Return With Epic Seven Stars Fest
After much anticipation, the captivating return of the one and only king of electronic funk, GRiZ, is finally upon us! Following a year and a half hiatus, the wait is finally over with the announcement of his triumphant return featuring the 3-day camping festival Seven Stars! Being held for its inaugural event in the rolling hills of Arrington, VA, during October 10-13, 2025, at LOCKN’ and Oak Ridge Farm just south of Charlottesville. This enchanting fest, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is the first one produced entirely by GRiZ and his crew, so it is sure to have jaw dropping surprises around every corner. Not only did this festival sell out in record time, but it’s an entirely new experience just waiting to be built and explored for the first time, and as GRiZ said, there’s ‘no’ time like the present!

Over 60 Jaw-Dropping Artists
Not only is GRiZ bringing 3 unique nights of his own sensational music, packed with new things he was working on during his hiatus, but the lineup boasts over 60 additional artists to load up three uniquely designed stages for the weekend. GRiZ has made many connections throughout his career, and he thought of each one when curating this incredible weekend for us all. With so many artists, there is a rhythm to fit every vibe with this stacked lineup. Catch sets from Daily Bread, the organic bass music Of The Trees, the electronic stylings of Manic Focus, and the funky bass sounds of Tripp St. Dubstep DJ and producer Subtronics has worked closely with GRiZ in the past and will playing a set along with The Funk Hunters, Maddy O’Neal, The Sponges and so many more!
The Mad Dash To Secure Tickets!
From its initial announcement that sparked waves of excitement to the presale and the general ticket sale, the mad dash to grab tickets was unlike any festival I have ever seen. While the presale tickets required a special code that was texted an hour before the sale to each person who requested it, tickets still sold out within the first few seconds. Many people had patience and good timing that paid off in snagging these sought after tickets while others hit obstacles trying to secure theirs, having to be put on a waitlist or try again during the general sale on Friday. As the general sale came closer, hopeful festival goers prepared to secure tickets to see the return of GRiZ, and within seconds, many people were lucky enough to grab their passes to attend before the sale sold out.
