RISE returns for its 10th Anniversary, transforming the Mojave Desert into a three-day journey of art, music, and light. Known as the world’s largest sky lantern festival, RISE invites thousands to release lanterns carrying their hopes and dreams into the night sky — a breathtaking collective ceremony that unites friends, family, and strangers alike.

Tickets begin at $189, with a range of options to fit every festival-goer. For those looking to elevate the experience, VIP packages include exclusive viewing areas, expedited entry, premium food and beverage offerings, and other perks designed to make your weekend as seamless as it is unforgettable.

This year’s festival unfolds in three unique phases across the desert:

The Path begins with a serene walk among inspiring art installations as the sun sets over the desert mountains, offering space to reflect and recharge while enjoying live acoustic performances and intimate soundscapes.

The Compass, the centerpiece of RISE, brings together live bands, DJs, and interactive performances alongside delicious food and vibrant installations, culminating in the signature lantern release — a moment of awe as tens of thousands of lights rise together into the sky.

The Horizon keeps the celebration going with legendary electronic artists, DJs, and immersive stage shows, turning the desert into an unforgettable dance party under the stars:

Friday, October 3: RÜFÜS DU SOL, Ben Böhmer, LP Giobbi, Emmit Fenn, Coco & Breezy, Eduardo Castillo

Saturday, October 4: Calvin Harris, Disclosure, Oliver Heldens, RY X, Rivo, Carrie Keller

Sunday, October 5: John Mayer, Goose, Elderbrook, Patrick Watson, Forester, City of the Sun

More than just a festival, RISE is a transformative experience — part reflection, part celebration, and an awe-inspiring journey you’ll carry with you long after the lanterns fade.
