Desert Hearts Announces City Hearts Festival

The Desert Hearts boys are launching a new festival concept to deliver to their loyal community. Aimed to be the fully immersive experience of their off-the-grid event to the sprawling cultural hub of Los Angeles Center Studios in Downtown, which is City Hearts Festival. 

City Hearts Festival will act as a continuation of the multifaceted journey that has captivated so many community members at the Desert Hearts Festival. Many are lured by the promise of nonstop House and Techno, only to be treated to a wide-reaching array of the scene’s most revered visual artists, vendors, healers, yogis and beyond. 

Desert Hearts will also be using this new event to engage their loyal community for change and social action with the launch of Helping Hearts, a charitable division of the DH movement. By activating followers with a day of service in the run-up to the event and donating 25% percent of the ticket sales to the Downtown LA Mission, DH hopes to apply the ethos of the movement they have created hand in hand to their new urban home. 

City Hearts Festival welcomes a new chapter for this rapidly evolving crew defined by bringing the life-changing magic of their secluded flagship event to the masses while building upon the potential of the House, Techno, Love ethos. In a world defined by turmoil, there is no better time to strengthen the purpose and impacts of their scene-defining mantra: We Are All Desert Hearts.
