The beloved music and arts festival Elements Lakewood which took place this past May, BangOn!’s Elements NYC Music and Art Festival will make its anticipated return to New York City on Saturday, August 11th to celebrate its fifth anniversary. The one-day festival will be held in Hunts Point in the Bronx, with a lineup that is hard to resist. Offering huge talent from all forms of dance music including Bassnectar, Emancipator, Desert Dwellers, Snakehips, SNBRN, Goldfish, Justin Jay and more, as well as announcing the festival’s set times. With a unique blend of visionary technology, psychedelic art, interactive performances, and unforgettable musical talent.

Elements NYC 2018 will bring a total of 32 acts together from dubstep, house, funk, and more to perform across five uniquely themed stages. Bassnectar will headline the festival with downtempo guru Emancipator, British hip-hop duo Snakehips, California’s own Dirtybird Players with Justin Jay and Sacha Robotti and much more talented artists. Beyond music alone, Elements also takes the experience by meticulously placing each artist at the stage that best fits their sound. Both emotional and heavy acts such as Bassnectar and Emancipator will perform at the Earth Stage, house artists like SNBRN and Goldfish will be at the Water Stage, and Dirtybird Players take over the Fire Stage, and rising performers like Dance Spirit (Live), Lost Desert and more land at the Air Stage.
