I can’t think of a phrase that describes the Gorge better than “Beyond Wonderland.” There isn’t a more beautiful place to end up after a long fall down the rabbit hole. Beyond Wonderland is a multi-genre dance music festival built around the timeless tale of Alice in Wonderland, and it’s returning to the iconic Washington amphitheatre on June 27 and 28. Beyond is one of Insomniac’s flagship festivals, and it’s found a welcome home in the Pacific Northwest for its sixth year. This year’s lineup features a wide range of talented DJs from all over the spectrum of dance music.
Local Support
Seven Lions
It’s not like Seven Lions needs any introduction, but the fact that he chose to hold it down in Woodenville, Washington, is pretty cool. The melodic dubstep phenom just finished the first leg of his Asleep in the Garden of Infernal Stars tour at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California.
Kid Calvin
Kid Calvin made his Gorge debut at the Bass Canyon campground stage in 2023 and is taking over the Queen’s Valley at Beyond. The Seattle DJ is a skilled house and bass house DJ who got his start DJing weddings and throwing underground parties that put him on the map.
Sloane Motion
Born and raised in Bellevue, Washington, Sloane Motion has worked her way up and become one of Seattle’s most prominent and reliable house DJs. The Washington native is taking over the Catepillar’s Garden at Beyond. There won’t be a groovier set all weekend.
KEEB
This Seattle-based bass producer is riding a massive wave right now. Las Vegas is becoming a second home for the young DJ. Angel TFC brought him up to debut a new record at LIV Beach club during EDC week. Not to mention he’s opening up for massive headlining acts like Crankdat and Dabin at LIV Las Vegas. Beyond Wonderland will be his first festival performance.
Can’t Miss Sets
Wooli
Wooli is right in the middle of crushing festival season sets all around the country. Fresh off his EDC Las Vegas B2B with Griz, he’s looking to carry that mountain of momentum into the summer. Wooli is hosting his fourth Mammoth Mountain event at Red Rocks on June 21. After he plays at Beyond, he’s going right to Rothbury, Michigan, to help close out Electric Forest 2026. Wooli is producing some of the best bass music in the scene today. His collab with Subtronics, “Lock In,” has been one of the dubstep anthems of the last year.
Girl Math (Nala b2b VNSSA)
Nala and VNSSA are fresh off their Coachella takeover. The duo will be dropping hot girl techno at the Marquee Day Club before they make their way to Beyond. Be sure to check out their latest track on their Bandcamp, “Cuntology (C*NT EDITS #001).”
Bolo
The high-energy Latino house and techno producer has been a staple at Beyond Wonderland for several years now. You can catch him around the country or at his residency at one of the dopest nightclubs in Las Vegas, Zouk at Resort World.
HVDES
The Sunken Cathedral EP is coming out on Seven Lions’ label, Ophelia Records, on June 5. The first single from the EP, “Haunt U,” is an anthem for “girls who want to disappear into the fog,” according to Ms. HVDES herself. An avid Resident Evil player, HVDES makes music for anyone who is a little too obsessed with Ghostface and enjoys romantic moonlit walks through a graveyard.
