The fest goes dance music-focused with Disclosure, Sylvan Esso, Big Gigantic, Boogie T, Chromeo, TroyBoi, rare Passion Pit DJ set & more.
Cascade Equinox is returning for its third annual edition – and it’s coming back bigger, bolder than ever. Set for September 19–21, 2025, the festival will once again transform the Deschutes County Fairgrounds in Redmond, Oregon into a celebration of sound, community, and art. Known for its genre-spanning curation and immersive atmosphere, this year’s lineup marks a deliberate shift toward electronic music, while still honoring its roots in live performance.
Leading the charge is GRAMMY-nominated duo Disclosure, bringing their signature blend of deep house, UK garage, and synth-pop to Oregon for the first time since 2016. Joining them are festival heavyweights like Sylvan Esso, Big Gigantic, Chromeo (DJ Set), Boogie T, and TroyBoi, alongside a rare and exclusive headlining DJ set from Passion Pit’s Michael Angelakos – making this a must-see moment for fans of the iconic indie-electronic band.
The 2025 lineup digs deep into electronic subgenres, featuring artists like Mersiv, Moontricks, Artifakts, Flamingosis, and Mickman, offering everything from bass-heavy drops to electro-folk serenity. Dubstep’s very own Zen Selekta and The Sponges bring unique flavors, while returning favorites like Barisone and Cliche help anchor the event in its Pacific Northwest identity. But this isn’t solely about DJs, as Cascade Equinox still champions live acts, with bands like High Step Society, Moon Hooch, and White Denim adding texture to the weekend.
One of the festival’s most anticipated shifts this year is its streamlined approach to programming. Expect fewer overlapping sets and more intentional scheduling, allowing attendees to truly immerse in each performance. This refined focus enhances the overall flow and connectivity of the weekend, creating a more engaging and relaxed festival environment that still delivers a massive sound experience.
Cascade Equinox shines in its experiential offerings, which include: The 340-acre venue features eight stages, a vendor marketplace, yoga, workshops, healing sanctuaries, culinary commons, roller skating, interactive art installations, and a kid’s zone – turning the festival into a multi-dimensional playground for all ages. Equipped with snow-capped peaks and lavish Pacific Northwest landscapes as the backdrop, it’s both a visual and sonic haven.
For those looking to stay onsite, Cascade Equinox provides a variety of camping options, including the Alpenglow Campground: a centrally located boutique glamping experience with premium amenities like private lounges, sponsor-activated happy hours, and concierge services. An expanded offering of premium car camping and RV options ensures that all attendees can find the right blend of comfort and convenience for their weekend stay.
