Lost In Dreams Festival: Where Melodies Lift Higher

Lost In Dreams Festival represents a unique gathering where "melodies lift us higher, memories take flight, and dreams become a reality." Presented by Insomniac and held at LA State Historic Park in downtown Los Angeles, the festival operates July 11-12, 2026, from 4 PM to 11 PM each evening, rain or shine. Now in its third year — after debuting in Las Vegas in 2021 and moving to LA in 2024 — the 2026 edition is headlined by Porter Robinson (DJ Set), Dabin, Louis The Child, Audien and William Black. The event celebrates melodic electronic music and immersive artistry as core experiences.

Festival Experience and Art Production

The festival distinguishes itself through commitment to immersive art and design. The production creates a "living dreamscape where immersive imagination comes to life," featuring elaborate art installations and visual experiences that complement musical performances. Two distinct stages showcase melodic electronic, house, progressive house, future bass, and electronic music, allowing attendees to explore diverse sonic landscapes throughout both days. Sponsorships with lifestyle and beverage brands including Beatbox, Eargasm, Ghost Energy, Hiyo, and Sippers by 99 enhance the overall experience.
