Experimental music lovers and bassheads rejoice, for this is the festival for you. Love the wonky wubs and drippy dubs? Love to dance, go crazy with your friends and make faces to the music? The Untz Festival will be right up your alley. The festival, running from May 31st to June 3rd, 2019, will be at the Mariposa Fairgrounds in Mariposa, California. This four-day, all-ages event will be full of music, workshops and yoga sessions.
Artists to expect
The Untz Festival lineup is chock-full of experimental, bass-heavy, dubstep and trap artists. Phase 2 of the lineup was announced recently, with Space Jesus taking his rightful place as the main headliner. Space Jesus takes you on a journey to explore the electronic auditory universe. His lower frequencies, ‘space bass’ and mind-blowing productions will be sure to be a treat. Following this, Boogie T will delight any headbanger’s heart with his heavy dubstep vibes. Other artists include Bleep Bloop, whose mind-melting ‘slime-punk’ music will take you to outer space, and Subtronic with his fast-paced riddim tunes. The rest of the lineup includes: Al Ross, He$h, Gravedancer Takeover, Slug Wife Takeover ft. Kursa, K.L.O and Seppa and more. The music at the festival begins at 8pm on Friday, May 31 and ends at 6am on Monday, June 3rd. Undoubtedly, the stacked lineup will be full of the wonky and the weird.
