Elements Music & Arts Festival returns to Long Pond, Pennsylvania, from August 8–10, 2025, with a stacked lineup spread across four immersive stages: Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. Known for combining nature, large-scale art installations, and eclectic mix of sounds, Elements continues to evolve into one of the Northeast’s standout summer weekends.

Whether you're there for bass, techno, house, or something in between, there’s something to catch every hour of the day (and night). With the festival fast approaching, here are 10 sets we think you’d regret missing — from heavy-hitters to under-the-radar gems.

1. Mau P

Stage: Fire (Saturday) Dutch house sensation Mau P is back in the States after locking in his own Baddest Behaviour residency at Pacha Ibiza, running every Wednesday through the summer. Recently (and very unofficially) crowned White Boy of the Year, he’s set to bring that same unfiltered energy to the Fire stage — expect relentless tunes, a bit of chaos, and zero room to stand still.

2. Wakyin

Stage: Air (Saturday) With Dominican and Puerto Rican roots, Wakyin has quickly made his mark thanks to the breakout success of “Fruta Fresca” (65M+ streams). After a string of standout sets across the U.S. and Europe — including EDC Orlando, Cova Santa Ibiza, and a stage share with Gordo in Ecuador — his Saturday slot at Elements is one to show up early for.

3. Max Styler

Stage: Fire (Saturday) One of house music’s breakout names this past year, Max Styler has dialed in a bold, booming sound built for festivals. His Fire stage takeover is sure to be packed and buzzing — definitely one to catch.

4. HVNLEE b2b Luna Mar

Stage: Air (Saturday) Gray Area residents Luna Mar and HVNLEE are two rising East Coast selectors going back-to-back — a set well worth keeping on your radar. Expect crisp transitions and expertly chosen tracks from the duo, perfectly suited to the Air stage vibe.

5. Claude VonStroke

Stage: Fire (Sunday, Sunset Set) Claude VonStroke is slotted for a return set on Sunday during sunset, loading up his fusion of wonky funk and left-field house sound to the Fire stage. With years of label-defining influence behind him, this long-awaited appearance is set to be weird in the best way — and absolutely unmissable.

6. Zeds Dead

Stage: Earth (Saturday) Icons in the bass world, Zeds Dead are festival veterans known for genre-hopping through dubstep, house, drum & bass, and hip-hop. Their headline slot on Saturday night will be a full-spectrum experience.

7. LP Giobbi

Stage: Air (Sunday) Musician, DJ, and producer LP Giobbi is set to be on the keys with her live piano melodies and deep house together in a way few can. She’s also the co-founder of FEMME HOUSE, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women and gender-expansive individuals in music, and the head of her Defected sublabel, Yes Yes Yes.

8. Eli Brown

Stage: Water (Friday) For fans of darker, more intense techno, Eli Brown delivers. His Friday appearance will likely be filled with gritty synths and warehouse-level energy under the open sky.

9. Rezz

Stage: Fire (Friday) Hypnotic and theatrical, Rezz’s visuals and slow-burning builds create an immersive experience unlike any other. Her Fire stage slot will be buzzing with anticipation and bass.

10. The Sponges

Stage: Water (Sunday) If you’re chasing a mid-festival pick-me-up, catch The Sponges on Sunday. They blend funk, house, and breakbeats into a party-starting cocktail that gets everyone moving.
