Framework, one of the world’s leading independent purveyors of underground music experiences, has just unveiled the full lineup for its third annual Framework in the Desert.
Taking place at the Atlantic Aviation airport hangar in Thermal, CA during Coachella’s first weekend (Friday, April 12 – Friday, April 14), Framework in the Desert has built a storied reputation as a premier post-festival afterparty option, with lineups featuring top-notch artists who are also playing the iconic festival.
For this year’s star-studded Framework in the Desert headliners, Framework (who also curate Coachella’s indoor electronic Yuma Tent) have handpicked Belgian techno superstar and DJ Mag #1 Alternative DJ Charlotte de Witte (Friday), Australian hypnotic house purveyor Dom Dolla (Saturday), and global party-starter John Summit (Sunday).
The rest of the daily lineups are rounded out by a bevy of talented support acts. On Friday, April 12, techno denizens will warm up to Charlotte de Witte’s headlining set with performances from Dutch techno expert Reinier Zonneveld, genre-blending up-and-comer Rebūke, and Sound Nightclub-resident Minus the Light.
On Saturday, April 13, Dom Dolla will be supported by beloved UK house duo Gorgon City, Berlin-based globetrotter Patrick Mason, Chicago-based selector Azzecca, and DJ duo ORSO (consisting of Twitch co-founder Justin Kan).
And on Sunday, April 14, John Summit will be preceded by UK tech house producer Cloonee, UK-bred, Detroit-based GRAMMY-nominated producer/DJ Will Clarke, and minimal melodic house specialist Annicka.
Since its inception in 2022, Framework in the Desert has transformed Atlantic Aviation into a desert club paradise replete with Framework’s typical standards for world-class production and sound. Past Framework in the Desert lineups have included huge names such as the debut of The Martinez Brothers b2b Black Coffee, Peggy Gou, Jamie Jones, Fisher b2b Chris Lake, Adam Beyer b2b Maceo Plex, and many more. With its short distance from the Indio festival grounds, Framework in the Desert offers the perfect secondary location for night owl festival-goers who didn’t get to catch their favorite dance music artists during the day – or simply just can’t get enough of them.
In addition to its late-night music offerings, Framework in the Desert provides a unique indoor/outdoor space at an airport hangar with planes flying overhead. Outside of the dancefloor, there are bars featuring specialty PATRÓN Tequila cocktails, food trucks, and outdoor social areas near the airport runway – a combination that makes the venue a one-of-a-kind club experience. VIPs will enjoy premium table service provided by the official tequila partner of the event, PATRÓN EL ALTO, This incredibly smooth, handcrafted prestige tequila is taking Framework in the Desert to new heights this year and toasting to an iconic weekend at Atlantic Aviation.
Framework in the Desert coincides with the beginning of Framework’s annual 7 Days of Framework at Sound. Taking place between Coachella weekends – from Friday, April 12 through Sunday, April 20 – at renowned LA dance venue Sound Nightclub, this year’s 7 Days of Framework at Sound lineup features headliners Purple Disco Machine, Reinier Zonneveld, Folamour, Miss Monique, Adam Ten x Mita Gami, Innellea (DJ Set), and the world debut of Maz b2b Ben Sterling – a stacked lineup that will once again deliver a marathon of pulsating underground sounds from a roster of world-class house and techno talents.
After both of these flagship Framework events wrap, the brand will continue showcasing top-drawer talent across Southern California. On Saturday, May 4, Framework presents Keinemusik will mark the German record label/collective’s largest Los Angeles show to date. The sold-out event will see the collective bring their signature ‘Peace Kloud’ inflatable to the City of Angels for the very first time.
Then on Saturday, June 1, Framework presents Solomun will touch down at an open-air venue in Southern California, representing the culmination of a fruitful, 10+ year creative partnership between the brand and the three-time DJ Awards winner.
Founded in 2013, Framework (which owns Sound Nightclub) has hosted upwards of 200 artists and 1.1 million guests across 35 venues internationally, becoming the principal consultant, talent buyer, and event producer for businesses and brands looking to present novel nightlife experiences to their markets.
In addition to owning and operating Sound, Framework’s dynamic portfolio includes successful endeavors such as opening the newly-minted The Spotlight; producing Wynn Las Vegas’ bi-annual Art Of The Wild festival; and making history by shutting down Hollywood Blvd for Fisher and Chris Lake’s 12,000 person “Under Construction” bonanza.
