It is no secret that Insomniac has been busy keeping the trance family happy with their wildly successful Dreamstate brand. Since its launch in 2015, Dreamstate has grown immensely in popularity and size, branching out of the festival crowds and into clubs in cities around the world.
This week, the flagship festival, Dreamstate Southern California will begin announcing their artist lineup for the fall event. Being revealed on social media, the all-trance rave is sure to include the biggest names in trance, psytrance, melodic and progressive.
After a cryptic online video was published, many fans believed to have seen the blurred out image of cloak-wearing duo, GAIA. On July 4, fans of the duo comprised of Armin van Buuren and Benno de Goeij had their doubts erased as Dreamstate affirmed that GAIA will be performing at the NOS Events Center come autumn.
On Wednesday, July 5, a slew of trance artists were exposed, ranging from classic trance to progressive and psytrance DJs. Andrew Rayel, Paul Oakenfold, Sunny Lax, a classics set by Judge Jules, Key 4050 Presented by John O'Callaghan and Bryan Kearney and Hyrda presented by The Thrillseekers are a few of the highlights of the mid-week announcement.
Thursday's announcement brings in SIXTEEN more names in the increasingly HUGE roster of trance artists. Highlights include: Paul van Dyk presents AEON, ALEX M.O.R.P.H., Arty's Alpha9, Kristina Sky, a live set by Rank1 and a tech energy set by MaRLo. Check out the other additions below.
To kick off the weekend, Dreamstate SoCal dropped even more big names to the already extremely impressive lineup (including some Anjunabeats favorites). Ilan Bluestone, Andrew Bayer, Ben Gold, Jason Ross, David Gravell, Menno de Jong, Jordan Suckley's 3FECT and Sam Jones b2b UCast are some of the high points of Friday's announcement.
This weekend brought two massive announcements for the autumn event—-
Saturday was the day for psytrance lovers as Astrix, Ace Ventura, Avalon, Barakuda, Captain Hook Liquid Soul, Neelix, Coming Soon!!! and Vini Vici (among others) were revealed to play.
Sunday, the final reveal came. Dreamstate SoCal will have a solo performance by Armin van Buuren to really put everyone in ‘a state of trance'.
Dreamstate SoCal will take place November 24-25 at the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernardino, California.
Tickets (including payment options) will go on sale next Tuesday, July 11th.
