Desert Hearts Family,
For the past 13 years, we’ve poured our hearts, souls, and energy into bringing Desert Hearts Festival to life. What began as a wild dream in the desert has grown into a family and culture unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
This community means everything to us.
With that said, to ensure the longevity of Desert Hearts, we’ve just this week made the difficult decision to not move forward with Desert Hearts Festival 2026. Every ticket purchased will be fully refunded and will typically hit your account in 1-3 business days. We’re endlessly grateful to everyone who committed early and believes in this community.
We went into DHF2025 with the intention of taking a break in 2026, but we ended up throwing the best Desert Hearts Festival ever. In the afterglow, we went on sale for 2026. When we finally came back down, we realized what throwing a full-scale DHF next year meant, and we didn’t like how that looked for our artist paths and personal lives. We sincerely apologize for getting ahead of ourselves.
Producing a festival of this scale takes an enormous amount of time, energy, and resources. The whole reason we started throwing parties is because we’re artists obsessed with music. But this past year we found ourselves glued to spreadsheets and Zoom calls way more than anything that had to do with music. So we’re putting the festival on hold in 2026.
This pause is a chance to refill our creative cup, rebuild the foundation of Desert Hearts, and ensure that every future event reflects the true heart of this family. While the festival rests, we’ll be channeling our energy into new music, our Love Bizaar parties, and if the stars align, a very special, intimate campout that brings us back to our roots. Who knows - we might even make an appearance at Playa Ponderosa next year ;)
Desert Hearts has always been more than a festival. It’s our family, our home, and our shared heartbeat, carried forward by the artists, crew, and partners who make it possible. This moment of reflection will help us keep that heartbeat going strong.
House, Techno, & Love…
We Are All Desert Hearts
~ Your Desert Hearts Crew ~
