Two of Northern California’s most beloved boutique music festivals, Dirtybird Campout and Northern Nights, are officially linking up—and the lineup for their 2025 collaborative debut is loaded with heaters. The two-day, genre-fluid blowout goes down July 18-20 at Cook’s Valley Campground along the Humboldt/Mendocino County line, and brings together an all-star collection of house, bass, funk, DnB, and experimental acts to celebrate community, creativity, and weirdness in the Redwoods.
Headlining the first-ever Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights hybrid festival is British funk powerhouse Jungle (DJ Set), the legendary duo Zeds Dead, and genre-defying vocalist/producer Aluna. They’re joined by a stacked roster of Dirtybird staples and rising stars alike including Justin Martin, Walker & Royce, Levity, Mz Worthy, VNSSA, Ardalan, Christian Martin, Nala, Sacha Robotti, and J.Phlip.
The 2025 lineup doesn’t hold back when it comes to eclectic variety. We’re talking OG turntablist Cut Chemist, old school DnB icons Ed Rush & Optical, boundary-pushers like UNIIQU3, Super Future, Mary Droppinz, and Wreckno, as well as rising talents Jackie Hollander, Kaleida, DJ Glen, and Balkan Bump.
For those deep in the underground scene, get ready for stage takeovers, sunrise sets, and renegade vibes. The venue’s addition of a brand-new Bird Bath River Stage alongside the festival-favorite River Stage will feature everything from soul-soaked house grooves to low-end bass excursions, with epic riverside views to match.
Beyond the music, Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights is all about the experience. Expect legendary camp games, absurd activities (yes, including a spelling bee and lap dance competition), immersive art, and Northern Nights’ signature cannabis-forward Tree Lounge. Wellness and movement programming will also take place at the shaded Grove Stage, while late-night bunker stages keep the energy going ‘til sunrise.
Dirtybird has spent two decades pushing the boundaries of dance music culture, and Northern Nights has become a cornerstone for West Coast festival-goers looking to blend nature, music, and mind-expanding experiences. Now, the two forces are coming together to offer a celebration of independence, creativity, and connection like no other.
Whether you’re pulling up for the vibes, the beats, or the river floats, this is shaping up to be one of the most immersive and anticipated events of the summer. General admission and VIP passes are on sale now, along with camping packages and a massive VIP giveaway up for grabs via the official Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights website.
