Gradient Campout

Gradient returns April 24th-26th, 2026! We’ll be going back to our favorite place in the high-desert of Johnson Valley for another three day-into night program of experimental and dance music by trusted selectors and artists from California, the Midwest, and beyond.

Limited discounted early-bird tickets are available now through December 31st. We'll be announcing the full lineup in January. Please mark your calendars now and stay tuned for more < 3

If this is your first Gradient Campout you are in for a special experience. This event invites a small sub-250 group of party goers to an other-worldly environment in the Mojave desert where artists present their more experimental and deep leaning taste on an impeccable soundsystem. Gradient caters to both deep listening and dancing so bring an open mind, comfortable blanket and chair as well as your favorite desert footwear.

Gradient is approximately two hours from Los Angeles. Doors & camping opens at noon, music begins at 8 pm Friday evening. In order to experience the full immersion thoughtfully curated at Gradient you will want to plan on hitting the road before traffic on Friday so that you have ample time to find your camp in the daylight and your place on the dancefloor shortly before sunset.

Programming ends at 10 PM on Sunday night. We encourage you to camp on Sunday and rest up before driving home Monday.

Attendance Guide and location details will be emailed to ticket holders in April, and shared on our IG bio the week of Gradient. Please read the camping guide multiple times and carefully to ensure you are ready for the elements at this event.

We'll see you back in the desert soon < 3
