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.

The stacked billing expands with the darker sonics of forward thinking producer Liquid Stranger, the return of legendary house act Claude VonStroke, trip-hop pioneer Tipper, UK drum & bass flag bearers Chase & Status, and the larger than life DJ Diesel aka Shaquille O’Neal.

House and techno enthusiasts can look forward to performances from in demand collaborator Wax Motif, Dutch sensation Mau P, techno powerhouse Eli Brown, esteemed house production duo SIDEPIECE, piano-house icon LP Giobbi, techno new school selector Layton Giordani, and fast riser Max Styler.

“We’re thrilled to bring you our most diverse lineup yet – featuring top current acts, emerging talent, throwback classics, and fresh genres for curious explorers. With “Flavors” across four main stages and smaller experiences, we encourage wandering to discover something new. A big thank you for all the awesome ideas we got from our DJ survey participants – you’re partners in shaping the future of Elements Festival!”, says Elements Co-Founder Timothy Monkiewicz.

Elements Festival’s four main stages embody the natural forces it celebrates. The Fire stage crackles with high-energy performances for thrill seekers, while Earth transforms into a surreal dreamscape of glowing trees, cosmic mushrooms, and floating jellyfish. Air serves as a hidden sanctuary of sound nestled deep within the woods, while Water becomes a sunlit playground with acrobats, playful characters, and festivalgoers are encouraged to embrace swimwear and dive into an immersive 360° stage experience.

Elements has evolved into a standout multi-day camping festival, thriving at its location of Long Pond set in the woodlands near the racetrack featuring an on-site solar farm to drive sustainability initiatives. Fans can explore art cars reminiscent of Burning Man and rows of guest-created theme camps known as Vibe Villages amidst the grounds, large-scale art installations, interactive performances, and 3D video projection mapping, alongside a Health & Wellness lineup offering yoga, sound baths, aromatherapy, dance, comedy, and multidisciplinary workshops.

Elements Co-Founder Brett Herman adds, “At Elements you’re living on a different planet for 3-4 days. There’s so much to experience beyond the music, there’s always something happening in the Bizarre, Fun Factory, Plaza, Wellnest, and countless other places in the festival grounds… Just moving from place to place you’re guaranteed to strike sparks, start a side quest, and find like-minded vibes.”

One of the most unique things about Elements is its participatory culture. From fans hosting interactive camps in the Vibe Villages, to curating pop-up performances along the paths and creating surprise happenings in the woods, the festival invites, embraces, and supports its festival family that aspire to BE the Elements.

Another cornerstone of Elements’ community spirit is the Art of Change program, designed to uplift marginalized voices. In 2024, the program focused on environmental change. Applications for the 2025 Art of Change program will open closer to the event, while submissions for Vibe Villages, artists, and performers are now live.

Tier Three GA and VIP passes are available through the official Elements Festival website as well as an all-new option for 2025, dubbed the “Entourage Pass”, which grants backstage access & more. Attendees can choose from diverse accommodations, including car camping, glamping, nearby hotels, and ready-to-go RVs or tents. Shuttle passes, providing transport from major Northeast cities, are also on offer for those preferring not to drive.
