Envision a world where ethereal beats and timeless melodies rescue you from the everyday and transport you to a higher state of consciousness. Welcome to your trance destination. In this place, we affirm that we are kindred spirits bound by deep passion—not only for the music we love, but for the community that surrounds it. That community is why we are here. You are the heart of Dreamstate. YOU are the Headliner. Since 2015, Dreamstate has become the top-tier trance festival in the United States. What started off as a one-stage event inside the Damus Building at the NOS Event Center has since grown into a sprawling four-stage spectacle of sound, placing the creme de la creme of the industry behind each booth. But Dreamstate SoCal has been bitten by the expansion bug, and they feel that now is the perfect time to make a move that will upgrade the physical atmosphere of the brand for the foreseeable future. This year, trance family members from around the globe will join together at the iconic Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach. This is the same venue that just recently hosted Day Trip Festival, and from the sounds of it, Insomniac has some extra special plans to turn what was recently a groovy gathering for house heads into an uplifting ethereal playground designed specifically for the trance enthusiast. This year’s edition of Dreamstate SoCal will run until 1am each night, with on-site after-parties that promise to rage until the sun comes up. In addition, there’ll be an exclusive hotel close to the action so you can mix and mingle with your fellow trance addicts before and after the show, in between naps. More info on those special packages are to come.
