Sprawling across four immersive stages, (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) Elements Music & Arts Festival will feature engrossing environments along with dozens of community-produced stages. The 2020 lineup boasts representatives from every in-vogue genre from house music, playa-inspired techno, dub-step, glitch-hop, psy-dub, and bass funk, all of whom will deliver their finest grooves across the festival's collection of imaginative elemental stages, along with a number of community-produced renegade stages. The FIRE Stage will have the likes of GRAMMY Award-winning producer Diplo will lead an inaugural US "Higher Ground" festival takeover, Lakewood veterans, and Dirtybird favorites Walker & Royce, J.Worra will also perform. House stalwart Bonobo, the king of smooth cuts - Chris Lake, alongside sizzlin' sets from favorites like Dr. Fresch, The Golden Pony, Dirty Looks, and AKKI. Elements Earth Stage will undergo a trippy makeover with the introduction of The Rabbit Hole, North America's premiere psychedelic visual experience featuring state-of-the-art projection mapping and a walking trail of massive, glowing structures that will transport attendees to a never-before-seen wonderland. Within this ethereal zone, rumbling acts such as Jade Cicada, TOKiMONSTA, Emancipator, Rusko, and Manic Focus will bring heavy bass straight to the forest floor. The Air Stage will have performers such as Grammy-winners and duo Bob Moses, plus UK experimental producer Four Tet, progressive house visionary Yotto, All Day I Dream regular YokoO and the fun-loving Desert Hearts crew (Mikey Lion, Porky, Lee Reynolds, Marbs, Lubelski, and RYBO), whose infectious sounds will float sweetly into the colorful treetops. Cool off at the Water Stage with none other than Dirtybird Records label boss Claude VonStroke to headline the stage, house duo Golf Clap, Fleetmac Wood, The Sponges, and Fort Knox Five. Plus dozens of local artists can be found blasting tunes on five additional secret stages - the result is an auditory scavenger hunt where everyone wins.

The lush, green grounds will again be transformed into a giant installation, decorated with works from a myriad of groundbreaking artists. Attendees are encouraged to create their own masterpieces during live painting demonstrations, explore new tech-driven indoor art spaces, marvel at the Lost Forest's magical "tree people", set the dance-floor ablaze with fire dancers, and start their own mobile parties on top of the production company's ever-growing fleet of climbable art cars. Exploring the festivals, attendees will find refuge at the Wellnest. The extensive roster of health and wellness programming expands to include diverse forms of yoga, Didjeridu massages, as well as the return of popular offerings such as meditative sound baths and sunset vinyasa. As always, those who want to awaken their inner child may engage in classic summer camp activities like roller skating, rock-climbing, water-sports, campfire storytelling, and treehouse hangouts. Fashion-forward festie-goers can dazzle or "be-dazzled" at the Unicorn Lounge, where they can drop-in for a hair braiding and other glitter-related needs.
