Symbiosis Gathering Announces Complete Lineup For 10 YEAR RE:UNION

Symbiosis Gathering, a multifaceted lakeside music and arts event has announced the complete musical programming for its 10 year Re:Union featuring world renowned electronic and live performers.

Headliners like Nicolas Jaar, Tipper, Damian Lazarus and The Ancient Moons, Cocorosie, Four Tet, edIT & Ooah present Crying Over Pros and Of Porcelain, and Shpongle will be joined by leaders of the underground Thugfucker, Justin Martin, The Acid, Bob Moses, Max Cooper, Blond:ish and Bass Music favorites The Polish Ambassador, Minnesota, G Jones, Kaytranada, GriZ, Truth, Random Rab and more.

Consistent with past years, Re:Union will feature a series of very rare performances including the first edIT & Ooah present Crying Over Pros and Of Porcelain set since Symbiosis 2009, Tipper’s only 2015 California appearance, Carbon Based Lifeforms 1st US appearance, and Raja Ram of Shpongle’s 1st solo West Coast appearance. With a diverse lineup featuring artists from five continents this will truly be an international gathering.

Rapidly rising California party crew Desert Hearts will bring their scene sweeping mantra of House, Techno, Love to Symbiosis with their own visually and musically curated stage featuring resident artists Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Deep Jesus, Marbs, and Porkchop.

Symbiosis Gathering offers its community an awe-inspiring portal into a creative utopia, a glimpse of a more united future. The 10 Year Re:Union will fuse a finely curated musical lineup split between 6 stages with otherworldly art installations, a 2700-acre lake to swim in, permaculture education programs, kids area, live performance, yoga, gourmet food, a speaker series and a slew of interactive activities and creative spaces to get lost and find yourself.

Symbiosis Gathering will also feature headlining spectacles by avant-garde performance troupes Lucent Dossier Experience, Quixotic, and Symbiosis mainstays the Vau de Vire Society.

Symbiosis Gathering has established its reputation and built its ethos on an unmatched combination of cutting edge talent, and a stunning natural location. Held near the border of Yosemite National Park, the vibe is set with Woodward Reservoir’s sandy beaches and lakeside stages, built around a naturally occurring 5-pointed peninsula. Attendees can literally swim between stages to catch headliners. The fusing of these elements means Symbiosis is one of those few festivals that can legitimately claim to offer a potent multifaceted experience.

In Symbiosis Gathering co-producer Kevin KoChen’s own words, “We have more Facebook friends but less relationships, more timesavers but less free time to spend. Symbiosis is our attempt to facilitate a peak experience, the timeless moment that you remember forever”.
