Elements Music & Arts Festival “25: Lost in the Sauce

Welcome back, dear friends to Long Pond, Pennsylvania and the 2025 Elements Music & Arts Festival, August 8-10 at the Pocono Raceway. Joining Bagadix and the Rubber Duck, Wranglers correspondents BroccAlleeya and the White Knight helped celebrate the historic eighth edition of the event. The 2025 festival welcomed over 30,000 attendees, marking a sold-out milestone and status as one of the largest electronic music and camping festivals in the Northeast.

The event featured more than 100 artists across its four stages, including world-renowned talent like Pretty Lights, deadmau5, Illenium, Tipper, Rezz, Zeds Dead, Claude VonStroke, Kaskade (Redux), Malaa x Malaa’s Alter Ego, LP Giobbi, Liquid Stranger, Chase & Status, Sara Landry, Eli Brown, Sofi Tukker (DJ Set), and many more.

The 2025 festival welcomed a sold-out crowd of over 30,000 attendees, solidifying its status as the largest electronic music and camping festival in the Northeast. Lemur adoptions? Side quests till sunrise? These are professional tweakers and you can believe they came with no shame in the game.

Elements Festival Co-Founder Timothy Monkiewicz says, “At Elements, our DJs span from underground visionaries to scene-shaping giants, setting the pulse for what’s next. Across the forest and woven throughout the festival, our in-house designed, ever-growing art installations create a living, evolving world – built sustainably so the magic deepens with every year.”

A standout cultural moment came when Pretty Lights delivered an unannounced, pop-up sunrise DJ set in one of the Vibe Village campgrounds – a deeply intimate performance that became one of the most talked-about surprises of the weekend and a known rarity amongst fans of the artist.

Her Broccness got lost from Badadix most of the weekend but managed to find the White Knight at the Pretty Lights set.

“I was lost in the sauce and forgot Mason was there. He was walking around squat dancing and I imagined he was an Asian woman pretending to poop in my backpack.”

Elementary my dear Wranglers. The lemur was down for the cause. As usual, Kamp Hapenis was the last to leave other than the workers. The guy said, “Play until you hear a whistle.” We call that the late check out. In her words, Broccalleah was in “poor” shape Monday.

This year’s immersive offerings spanned interactive Vibe Villages, large-scale art installations, costumed parades, health & wellness programming, and new experiential zones. Festivalgoers could dance under 360° lights at the Water Stage, explore dreamlike installations in the Neon Forest, or engage in community-driven happenings hosted by campers themselves.

Elements 2025 also featured the return of its Art of Change program – spotlighting environmental and social impact themes – as well as the continued evolution of its wellness programming, from an on-site spa to sunrise yoga and evening sound baths.

The Elements Festival 2026 loyalty sale goes live on Monday 8/18 at 10AM ET. See y’all next year, August 7-9, 2026.
