Without a doubt, Moonrise Festival has one of the. most. stacked . lineups of the season! Seriously, the bass gods have blessed Baltimore with an absurd amount of legendary artists like Bassnectar, Dillon Francis, Zeds Dead, Porter Robinson, Glitch Mob, and Knife Party anddd Yellow Claw anddddd Above & Beyond and and and…. you get the picture.

Thankfully, all of this knob-twisting, fire-dropping, trap-arm-thrashing is only one week away! Get pumped head-bobbers, cause we’re here to prepare you so you can completely lose your mind (and hopefully not your phone/clothes/friends/dignity). Organized by day, we’ve created two playlists to re-familiarize you with these beat-crunching kings.

Saturday’s playlist features the best of the best from Ghastly, Protohype, Dr. Fresch, The Floozies, Zomboy, What So Not, Pierce Fulton, ++++. Whatever you do on Day 1, do not miss a face melting B2B with Doctor P vs Funtcase vs Cookie Monsta! And be sure to catch one of our local favorites, Royal, as we know he’ll be dropping some of the most unique beats of the day.

Sunday’s playlist features contagious tracks from a variety of killer artists, including Snails, Getter, Brillz, Datsik, NGHTMRE, Dotcom, ++++. At the festival, be on the look out for some of the underground aces making an appearance like Dabin, Nolweez, and Alex English. And for the love of treesus, do not miss Porter Robinson and subsequently your potential front row for Glitch Mob for an epic weekend closing act.

So let these playlists be your musical guide before you unleash your inner festival raging self upon the masses. And remember kids: always, ALWAYS, head bob responsibly.
