Dirtybird CampINN: A Festival to Remember
After a two-year hiatus, the iconic Dirtybird CampINN is returning to the dance music scene, and this year it’s taking place in the heart of Orlando! Scheduled for Labor Day Weekend (August 29th – September 2nd), the festival collaborates with Home Bass at the beautiful DoubleTree by Hilton, conveniently located at the entrance to Universal Orlando. This delightful setting promises to offer festival-goers not just a vibrant atmosphere, but also impressive amenities, including 742 hotel rooms and multiple dining options.
Dirtybird CampINN promises an exciting lineup this year, featuring not only the usual Dirtybird favorites but also stage takeovers from renowned collectives like Defected Records, Desert Hearts, and FriendShip. This year, festival attendees can enjoy the electrifying sound of UK house music brought by Defected, while Desert Hearts aims to replicate their West Coast vibe with artists like Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, and Marbs. Additionally, iconic DJ Gary Richards, known professionally as Destructo, will showcase his ShipFam experience on the mainland.
Lineup of Stars and Emerging Talents
The Dirtybird lineup boasts an impressive array of artists, including hard-hitters like Justin Martin, Ardalan, Eats Everything, and more from the local scene. European talent is not left behind, with artists such as Riva Starr, Sirus Hood, and Solardo joining the diverse mix. The lineup isn’t complete without notable up-and-comers like AMPRS&ND and Smalltown DJs, making this event a splendid blend of established and fresh talents.
For fans of bass, you're in luck! Acts like Rusko, Eprom, and others will take the stage, providing sets that cater to every dance music lover’s taste. There is also a promise of surprise guests and spontaneous takeovers, ensuring there will be something new to experience at every corner.
Interactive Experiences and Community Vibes
A unique aspect of Dirtybird festivals is the engaging activities beyond the music. Attendees can participate in various fun events such as the “Walk The Plank” Drag Show and Glow-in-the-Dark Double Dutch. For those seeking some relaxation, there’s Sunset Yoga and refreshing Water Aerobics. The atmosphere is lively with games like Frick Frack Blackjack and The Great Bingo Revival bringing a fun twist to festival activities, combined with engaging entertainment from quirky dealers and energetic participants.
Celebrating a 20-Year Milestone
This year’s festival is particularly special as it marks Dirtybird’s 20th anniversary. According to Deron Delgado, Dirtybird’s label manager, the festival embraces “collaboration and community,” highlighting the importance of inclusivity within the evolving dance music culture. This year’s CampINN is a celebration of diversity as Dirtybird seeks to expand its influence in various directions.
Delgado further expressed, “By working with like-minded artists, brands, and collectives, we are moving away from the ‘one-way-to-do-it’ mentality.” This sentiment resonates with the festival’s commitment to pushing dance music forward in a collaborative environment.
Convenience Meets Entertainment
The new venue’s proximity to Universal Studios presents a significant convenience for attendees seeking additional entertainment outside of the festival. With over 60,000 square feet of event space and exclusive hotel access for attendees, the possibilities for memorable experiences are limitless.
So whether you're an ardent supporter of the Dirtybird brand or exploring cultural events today, the Dirtybird CampINN is set to provide a magical experience filled with music, laughter, and community spirit. With an array of activities, an exciting lineup, and a festive atmosphere, you won’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime event that promises to be 'lit' in all the right ways!
