Gradient Campout returns April 25-27th 2025. We’re going back to the same special spot in the high desert of Johnson Valley for a now extended three day-into night program of dance and experimental music by our favorite selectors and artists from California, the Midwest and overseas.
If this is your first Gradient you are in for a special experience. This event invites a small sub-200 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.
This year we have extended our programming through Sunday evening so that partygoers can enjoy the sunrise on Sunday morning and a final day of music. Programming ends at 10 PM on Sunday night. We encourage you to camp on Sunday and rest up before driving home Monday.
Attendance Guide, Program, 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.
