Palm Tree Music Festival Returns to Napa: Bigger and Better
In the vibrant landscape of electronic music festivals, the Palm Tree Music Festival is set to make a splash this October, returning to Napa’s stunning Meritage Resort & Spa for its second edition. Last year’s inaugural event proved to be a hit, and this year, it has grown from a single-day celebration to a full two-day extravaganza, scheduled for October 2 and 3. With an impressive lineup featuring headliners Kygo and Zedd, this festival promises to be an unforgettable experience for electronic dance music (EDM) fans.
Headliners to Watch: Kygo and Zedd
Tropical house sensation Kygo will grace the stage once again, a familiar face for festival-goers eager to soak in his melodic rhythms. Co-founder of Palm Tree Crew, Kygo has already made waves with the Palm Tree Music Festival’s first edition back in 2025. His unique sound, blended with hints of tropical vibes and catchy beats, is sure to create an engaging atmosphere for attendees. Zedd, another heavyweight in the EDM scene known for hits like “Clarity” and “The Middle,” will join as a co-headliner. His electrifying performances and diverse catalog make for a perfect fit in this intimate festival setting.
Expanding the Experience
The festival, branded as an “intimate” affair for dedicated EDM listeners, is the signature event of the Palm Tree Crew—a group known for curating upscale music experiences, including festivals at renowned events like Art Basel, Aspen, and the Hamptons. Myles Shear, co-founder of Palm Tree Crew, emphasizes that this year’s festival will build on the successes of its predecessor. “Expanding to two days allows us to bring in more world-class talent while giving guests the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the Palm Tree Crew lifestyle, from the music to the setting to the hospitality,” he states.
A Diverse Lineup
Beyond the headliners, the Palm Tree Music Festival will feature an eclectic array of artists. The crowd can look forward to a DJ set by Disclosure, alongside performances from Hugel, &friends, Swimming Paul, COCO & BREEZY, Frank Walker, Rules, AMPRS&ND, and JLITTLE. This diverse mix is intentionally crafted to keep the energy high and ensuring that there is something for everyone in the audience.
