Pretty Lights has released the daily lineups and single-day tickets for the second Yahn Dawn, the festival he curates, which returns to Meadow Creek in Buena Vista, Colorado from September 18 to 20.
Alongside the schedule came a weekend-long concept called A Trip Thru Time, built from the new Pretty Lights album A Trip Thru Time Fantastic. The framing invites the audience aboard what the festival calls the Soundship Space Bus to move through the eras and albums of the catalogue across the three nights.
Early arrival pass holders get an extra night. A pre-party on Thursday, September 17 pairs founding members Derek Vincent Smith and Michal Menert for a set built around the debut album, Taking up Your Precious Time.
The three main nights each carry a live band headlining performance, tracing the catalogue through fan favourites, deep cuts and new material from A Trip Thru Time Fantastic rather than running a straight greatest-hits set.
The supporting bill includes Gramatik, LP Giobbi playing a Dead House set, Emancipator, RJD2, MADHAUS, Thought Process with a liquid drum and bass set, Saturna, Pheel. and Mikey Thunder.
The site sits below the Collegiate Peaks, and the festival adds expanded wellness programming, live art, camping and glamping around the music. Ticketing runs on mix-and-match tiers, with GA and VIP weekend passes plus add-ons for early arrival, pre-set glamping, RVs and parking.
Single day and weekend tickets are on sale now, and the event is logged on the festival tracker. It follows Pretty Lights debuting an unreleased GRiZ and Tape B remix live, and it is one of the larger electronic gatherings on the Colorado calendar.
