Complemented by stunning tapestries and original artwork by DJ and artist Josephine Chime, the system boasts ten unique sound stacks, providing festival-goers with an immersive auditory journey throughout the weekend.
The Legacy of Goldenvoice’s ‘Trip’ Festivals
Head Trip is the latest in Goldenvoice’s “trip” festival series, which features a smaller lineup of big artists on a single stage without overlapping sets. This unique approach offers a refreshing experience for fans who yearn for uninterrupted performances.
The festival concept was born in October 2016 with Desert Trip, a momentous lineup that included legendary artists like Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and more. The overwhelming demand led to a second weekend being added, solidifying its success in the music festival world.
Continuing this tradition, the later addition of Power Trip drew metal and hard rock fans from around the globe with a roster featuring bands like Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, and Metallica. The overwhelmingly positive responses to these events indicate a bright future for the ‘trip’ model.
Prepare for an Unforgettable Experience
Whether you’re a die-hard EDM enthusiast or just a casual listener, Head Trip promises an unforgettable atmosphere filled with exhilarating music and community spirit. The Empire Polo Club, a site made famous by Coachella, is set to become a vibrant hub for electronic music lovers this fall. With a meticulously curated lineup and innovative sound experiences, this festival is shaping up to be one of the must-attend events of the season.
