Of course, behind any great festival is an amazing lineup! Leading the charge is UK producer Joker, marking a significant return to US touring and a heralded return has captivated fans. Beloved sonic innovator, Eprom, promises an exploration of his vast musical archives amidst tours of his recent album Syntheism, while legends like Ott and pioneering acts such as J Kenzo, and Ternion Sound further solidify the lineup’s depth.

Infrasound Festival is one of the best out there because it distinguishes itself by creating an atmosphere that transcends typical festival experiences. Community is the most important aspect of the festival. Of course, we expect some great names, but community is the most important aspect of this festival emphasizing community over headliners and education over entertainment.
From its humble beginnings as a series of raves to its current status as a respected festival, Infrasound was born from the vision MN-natives and founders, Alex “Toffler” Heiligman and David Liberman, to bring elite electronic acts to the Midwest. Their journey from attending events at Harmony Park as teens to curating one of the most anticipated festivals in the electronic music scene is a testament to their passion for and dedication to the community.

The Portal Stage, an iconic fixture at Infrasound, exemplifies the festival’s innovative integration of art and music. Originally designed by Carey Thompson for a Tipper New Year’s Eve show in San Francisco, this masterpiece of woodwork and sacred geometry was later acquired by Infrasound to enhance its immersive experience. Known for his contributions to major events like Burning Man and Electric Forest, Thompson’s design, coupled with an Element 5 sound system and ClearVoid visuals, creates a unique atmosphere that is quintessentially Infrasound. This stage’s history from a bespoke event piece to a central festival element underlines Infrasound’s commitment to curating unforgettable spaces where artistry and electronic music converge.
