…Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights unveils its 2026 Phase Two lineup, adding a new wave of house, techno, bass, and underground dance music talent ahead of its anticipated return to Cook’s Valley Campground from July 17-19. Led by two of Northern California’s most celebrated independent festivals, the festival will once again transform the towering Redwoods and Eel River into an intimate, fully immersive playground for music, art, nature, and community.

Leading Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights’ phase two announcement is the groove-heavy powerhouse of Walker & Royce B2B VNSSA, UK bass favorite Hamdi, Dirtybird standout Ardalan, Detroit house legend DJ Minx, and Miami natives Black V Neck.

The second wave continues to build out the festival’s house and club programming with artists who sit at the center of dance music culture rather than the traditional festival circuit. Radio Slave brings decades of influence across house and techno, while Sage Armstrong adds his signature low-end grooves and Madam X brings the sharp, bass-driven sound that has made her one of the strongest names in UK club music.

Continuing the stacked billing, Smalltown DJs bring their blend of house, disco, and dancefloor-driven selections, while SYREETA adds boundary breaking club sounds alongside Addison Groove’s unmistakable UK bass lineage and Auguste’s Carribean-rooted melodic afro-house. Gina Turner further rounds out the programming with her longtime presence as a DJ, producer, and community-builder within house music.

These artists add even more firepower to a loaded phase one lineup that includes CloZee, Tape B, Justin Martin, LP Giobbi, Bruno Furlan, Daniel Allan, DJ Susan, Flowdan, Gene Farris, GoldFish, Ivy Lab, Kaleena Zanders, Know Good, Mindchatter (DJ Set), Nitepunk, Sacha Robotti, Sam Binga, Shaded (Live), Todd Edwards, Will Clarke, Born Dirty, Christian Martin, Dimond Saints, DJ Glen, High Step Society, J.Phlip, Life on Planets, and more.

Nestled in the heart of the Emerald Triangle, Cook’s Valley Campground sets the stage with towering Redwoods, riverfront hideaways, and Northern California’s rugged natural beauty, all just 190 miles north of San Francisco. Across the grounds, programming spills out over multiple stages – including the Main Stage, River Stage, Bird Bath Stage, Grove Stage, and late-night Bunker – each carving out its own sonic universe, from sun-drenched grooves along the river to after-hours sessions that stretch deep into sunrise beneath the trees. The festival also welcomes back its “Our Friends” stages with community players like LFO, Madrone, and Octopus Garden, with many more artists still to be announced on these stages.

Beyond the music, Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights leans fully into its free-spirited participatory ethos. Fans can expect a weekend of camp games, artist-led antics, and spontaneous moments that blur the line between performer and crowd – hallmarks of the Dirtybird Campout legacy – set against Northern Nights’ nature-forward, creatively charged backdrop. Whether it’s daytime mischief, late night wanderings, or stumbling upon unexpected back to back sets – it’s less about following a schedule and more about seeing where the weekend takes you.

For over 20 years, Dirtybird has cultivated a deeply loyal global community through its irreverent, genre-defying approach to dance music culture. Northern Nights, now over a decade strong, has established itself as one of the West Coast’s most innovative independent festivals, merging music, nature, and creativity into a singular experience. Together, the two brands represent a proven model for independent festivals – one rooted in collaboration, authenticity, and shared values.

As the festival landscape continues to shift, Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights stands as a testament to how independent events can not only endure, but evolve: by creating a shared space where music leads, community thrives, and culture is shaped from the ground up.

With demand already surging, ticket inventory is limited, and various camping options are already sold out. Tickets are on sale now via the official Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights website, including GA and VIP passes, along with a limited selection of remaining camping accommodations. Additional lineup announcements and programming details will be revealed in the coming weeks.
