THE FEST24 CONTEXT

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

Prepare yourself for the warm embrace of the fully coded FEST 2024 schedule. Eight days until we can collectively experience the better internet afk. There is literally something for everyone across music and sounds, lectures and dialogues, workshops, interactive sessions, wellness, and other pop-up experiences all weekend long. The complete schedule is below, with more coming soon.

For those of you who will be experiencing FEST via underwater cables, you can watch all of the Main Stage lectures and conversations on our Unlonely channel 📹 /fwbfest.

3 DAYS of MUSIC, IDEAS & EXPERIENCES

FEST is part music festival, part emerging tech conference, 100% secret third thing. As such, we’ve split the FEST schedule on our site into three parts: music, ideas, and experiences + our beloved Member’s Day. View the complete schedule here, but note that the FEST site will always be the most up to date.

Discover emerging music, cult classics, and soundscapes across four different stage experiences: massive sound at the Amphitheatre, 360 immersive sound at Envelop, club nights at Rush, and nature x machine integrated sounds with Floating x PlantWave.

Lectures, dialogues, and interactive conversations for a better internet. Our need for innovative solutions is urgent. Our collective burdens–global in scale, local in practice–are generations in the making. FEST is our cultural playground of meta/physical and intellectual spaces.

Workshops and interactives on emerging tech and culture, daily wellness, and art all weekend long. Community driven experiences deepen our understanding of our tech, ourselves, and each other.

A day of programming exclusively for FWB members on Thursday, August 1st. Prepared by FWB council in collaboration with FWB members and the core team. Enjoy complimentary Members’ Day happy hour and dinner, provided by our lovely F&B squad. Members, please register for Members Day if you plan to attend!

Deep and many thanks to our FEST host, Idyllwild Arts Academy

Nestled amidst the breathtakingly beautiful village of Idyllwild, high in the San Jacinto mountains of Southern California, the Idyllwild Arts campus serves as a peaceful respite for artists seeking to explore the depths of their creativity and join a broader creative collective through the Academy (an international boarding arts high school) or the Summer Program (an immersive arts camp for all ages).

Idyllwild Arts respectfully acknowledges the Qawishpa Cahuillangnah (also known as Cahuilla Band of Indians) and all nine sovereign Bands of Cahuilla people who have stewarded this land throughout the generations and continue to steward this land for all future generations.
