Today, Insomniac announced more than 30 additional artists, from old-school legends to fresh new faces, for this year’s 20(th) anniversary celebration of Nocturnal Wonderland. Spanning three days for the very first time, attendees can fully immerse themselves in North America’s longest running dance music festival where they will see performances from more than 100 amazing DJs. This year, the Nocturnal Wonderland camping grounds have tripled in size, completely surrounded by the astounding greenery and natural beauty of the property’s vast lakes. Taking place over Labor Day weekend, September 4 – 6, Nocturnal Wonderland at San Manuel Amphitheater & Grounds will become a beautifully dark landscape complete with whimsical art, stunning production, curious theatrical performers and spectacular surprises for fans to explore.
“Nocturnal Wonderland’s 20th Anniversary isn’t just a milestone for us, but a milestone for dance music in Southern California,” said Pasquale Rotella, Founder and CEO of Insomniac. “We’ve got a legendary lineup and a brand new camping experience prepared. I can’t wait to take this incredible journey with our Headliners and celebrate our history together.”
The fully activated camping grounds will bring new day and night entertainment throughout the weekend, including surprise top tier artists performing at the moonlit Nocturnal pre-party as well as the fan favorite Silent Disco. Guests that participate in the camping experience will also have access to exclusive entertainment including the massive water park on warm afternoons, morning yoga sessions, interactive art installations lining the lakes, crafts and movies under the stars, all beginning a day before the festival.
