The 2024 Coachella lineup boasts a variety of dance music headliners, including Justice, Everything Always (comprising John Summit and Dom Dolla), Anyma, Bicep, and more.

Gorgon City, ANOTR, Kevin de Vries, and Reiner Zonneveld, in addition to a plethora of scene shaping acts, will tend decks in the confined dance space this month. Fans of deep house, melodic techno, and progressive dance music can fulfill their four-on-the-floor fantasies in the Yuma Tent all weekend long.

Prepare for a groovy journey as Adam Ten and Mita Gami take the stage for a back-to-back DJ set. Drawing from Adam Ten’s early influences in industrial and new wave music, the joint set promises a fusion of dark, atmospheric house while also pulling from Mita Gami’s emotive and melodic soundscapes. Both named Dancing Astronaut Artists to Watch in 2024, the DJ pair will endure a monumental moment for Israeli-born artists at Coachella 2024. Last year, Ten and Gami’s infectious remix of Parallelle and Nicolas Masseyeff‘s “Renegade” proved to be one of Ibiza’s most popular tracks of 2023.
